The I Ching Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Learning the Wisdom of the Oracles

by Roger Green

The I Ching, translated variously as the Book of Changes or the Classic of Change, is perhaps the oldest writing on philosophy, cosmology, divination and self -transformation in Chinese civilization. It is one of the treasures of ancient Chinese literature, used as a divinatory tool as well as an instrument to develop intuition and perception. The I Ching Workbook provides a fascinating overview of the I Ching including its history and legend, the symbolism of the 8 trigrams of natural energy, the meanings of the oracles of the 64 hexagrams, and methods for casting the I Ching. This illustrated workbook also explores the connections between the I Ching, oriental philosophy, and Chinese astrology, making it appropriate for beginners but also rich enough for devotees wishing to expand their knowledge of this fascinating subject.

Although some Chinese history was given, I expected a bit more. The book was a little too on the mystical side and did not explain one of the main concepts provided. The Level of Auspiciousness was not explained as to how it was determined or how the overall level was derived.

very helpful & insightful in decision making. it's amazing how it delves into the collective unconscious and generates relevant answers. there are no coincidences!

Would this book be faithful to ancient traditions of the I-Ching?
