This text is meant to be used for divination, or a form of it at least. The reader poses a question to the book and throws coins, usually coins, and then reads a hexagram in accordance with the way the coins fall. There is way to learn how to ask Yes/No questions and also a way to ask other questions. I have had three copies through the years. I found the book to be useful and accurate. The book can also be read right through, and the sayings hold wisdom in themselves. If you are a really out of the box person, and you would have to be to even consider this text in the first place, you can take things a step further. Here is how: You can ask a question at random and open the book. The trick in such things is to have full integrity and not re-ask the same question but to accept the answer and try and work from it. The idea is that you will get the answer you need, not necessarily the one you want. So you can dowse that way without a diving rod or pendulum, and believe it or not, this is what people are doing all the time when they simply know without knowing how they really know, that they like that sweater versus the other one, or to trust this person and not that one. If you like esoteric, interestingly strange books, this is one I would suggest. But remember, it does not read like a narrative and has no orthodox linear fashion, but the hexagrams are accompanied by sayings, and have the flavor of axioms, proverbs, and words of that fashion.
RATING 8.5/10
