A new I Ching site

There’s a new I Ching diviner on the block – actually, a very experienced one who’s just made a home on the web, at Ichingconsultation.com. I browsed to the ‘articles’ page and especially enjoyed the one on Hexagrams 37 and 38. Very good thoughts on pairs, trigrams, ruling lines and more. I look forward to her blog!

Another question for the I Ching

It occurs to me that back in an agrarian society, every ordinary activity would have its ritual place in the bigger scheme of things. Ploughing, sowing, harvesting, storing and ripening – these things have so much latent meaning that we still use them as part of our daily language even now.

Then last week, with far more ideas and possibilities in mind than I’d dreamt possible, Yi told me to contain myself… Continue Reading

Substance in the Vessel: Hexagram 50, line 2

“The Vessel contains something real. My companion is afflicted, Cannot approach me. Good fortune.” I’ve experienced this line several times, but always found it hard to grasp why it could mean good fortune. It describes those times when you have something good within you, some realisation, joy or purpose – something real – but your… Continue Reading

The Neverending Story

I found this by chance (yes, I know) in a charity shop yesterday, and just finished it. So now I need to read it again! It is an extraordinary book, full of rich imagery and wisdom, and I can’t imagine why I hadn’t come across it before. The ‘Temple of a Thousand Doors’ (with its… Continue Reading
