About the author

Alfred Douglas was born in Yorkshire, England in 1942. From a very young age, he was interested in the folklore, the European magical tradition, esoteric symbolism, and the work of Carl Jung. Douglas studied with Madeline Montalban, who was a student of Aleister Crowley in the 1930s.

From 1968 to 1971, Douglas collaborated with artist David Sheridan, son of author and astrologer Jo Sheridan, to create the Sheridan Douglas Tarot deck, which was published in 1972 to accompany Alfred Douglas's book The Tarot: the Origins, Meaning and Uses of the Cards.

[Manny · Rating 4 out of 5]

I last consulted the I Ching when I was 20. I was trying to decide whether to switch from mathematics to Artificial Intelligence, so I asked for an opinion. It gave me the hexagram Creativity followed by Wealth, which both pleased and frightened me - how could it know what I was thinking? I haven't dared talk to it since.

A decent introduction.

Very hard to understand the meaning of I Ching and how it works!
