This comprehensive introduction to the I Ching explains how to unlock the secrets of this ancient form of divination.

The ancient Chinese formalized nature's shapes and forms into the I Ching, or Book of Changes, which is thought to be the oldest system of divination in the world. In the pages of the I Ching, we find sixty-four types of changes covering all of life's transitions and laid out in symbol form as hexagrams and trigrams.

This work explains how to follow a simple system of throwing coins to discern the appropriate symbols, then use the text and commentary and our own intuition to guide us towards certain action or knowledge. It also discusses how to use the ancient Taoist knowledge to promote self-awareness, positive health, and personal happiness.
