The Book Of Changes
The I Ching (pronounced "ee-jing") is an ancient Chinese book of divination which consists of 64 Hexagrams (a sereies of six lines either flat or dashed) relating to various concepts and philosophies. Similar to the cards of a Tarot Deck having a scene to consider and a translation according to it math, each Hexagram defined in the I Ching contains a very short anecdote depting a scene to consider and then a translation of the scene to further clarify how it should be interpreted.
The I Ching is a source of Confucian and Taoist philosophy. The Hexagrams are generally positive and motivational, while there are ones which can be considered warnings or reasons to give pause.
Your reading consists of One Hexagram... and depending on the math of how you reached this Hexagram, there may also be a second Hexagram, considered the Inversion or Outcome.
You achieve your Hexagram by throwing three coins a total of six times. On each coin, one side is designated a value of two and the other side a value of three. The combination of coins will add to a number from 6 to 9. Each number corresponds to a solid or dashed line which are placed parallel to each other from bottom to top. The resulting structure is a Hexagram and mathematically there are 64 possible combinations the coins can add up to.
The 64 Hexagrams are discussed in the I Ching in brief form as brief poems written over 4000 years ago and are as potent as they are simple. Lines such as... "it furthers one to cross the great water" are meditations in and of themselves. You may have a specific question you wish to consider, or you may simply wish to recieve a message from the Universe. You may choose to share your question with your Diviner, whether before or after your reading or not at all.
