I Ching of the Goddess: Divination Kit

by Barbara G. Walker

At Last, the Authentic I Ching! The original I Ching was a goddess-based divination system. However, in the Confucian age, it was appropriated by the male-dominated culture of that era. As a result, for centuries, devotees have been using an inauthentic divination tool that devalued the feminine. Now, thanks to the work of one of the premier feminist authors and researchers, the goddess-based sensibility has been restored to this most popular divination system. Walker reveals and celebrates an I Ching based in feminine spirituality and creativity. Pay homage to your inner goddess with this lavish kit. This tool for personal growth and divination includes 64 I Ching cards that feature Walker's original art and a book that provides a comprehensive overview of the development of the I Ching and shows how you can use it in your daily life.

Reviews

[C.J. Prince]

I like this book however the interpretations are strongly feminist and I would not use it in a reading for a man.
