You know our next webinar is with Stephen Karcher?

It’s on 26th March, 6pm UK time (morning or early afternoon across the USA - see timezone converter). Online, as usual, in our own private ‘virtual meeting room’. (So long as you have a Windows computer with an internet connection, you can come.) (Sorry, Mac users. I’m looking into alternatives.)

If you’re not familiar with Stephen and his work, have a look at the Amazon page for Total I Ching - especially the reader reviews - to get an idea of what he’s about.

And look - here’s a new, dedicated I Ching political blog, no less:
Mme. Zaratamara consults the I Ching
(I really must stop browsing and playing with my new toy, and get some proper work done!)
Mme Zaratamara - who is left-leaning - asked the oracle how the US could get out of Iraq. And received Hexagram 33, [...]
