Alright, recently I finished my class on I Ching (pronounced ee-Ching) . I never in my wildest dreams thought I would do as well with it or understand it as well as I do.
The I Ching is a Chinese oracle dating back more than 2500 years and was even used by confucious, the great plilosopher. I Ching means "The Book of Changes" and is a method of divining used primarilly for decision making and understanding major life changes, such as marriage, career, major moves and the year to come.
Since I have already driven my friends and family crazy with the coin tossing, I thought I would offer to do a reading for the members here. Feel free to ask a question, and I will see what the oracle says for you. You can ask in the thread or PM me if you prefer to receive a more private answer.
This is all in fun. It's based on the premise that everything in the universe has it's place, and that the coins are a representation of the flow and ebb of the universe. There are thousands of combinations that could turn up in a reading...so feel free. I will explain the readings according to the Hexagram tables and definitions, so my personal opinions or feelings will not be involved in anyway.
Oddly, so far the readings I have done have been very acurate. Names won't be used or anything but out of my own general curiosity I am keeping a record of the results and how well they apply to the question asked. I am happy to do a reading for every question...just be patient and I will get back to you.
The thing I like it about this oracle is that I think sometimes we as humans are paralyzed by our own fears in making decisions. This gives you the means and confidence to move past that, and make choices. Instead of tunnel vision it offers a wider viewpoint of a situation.
Ask away!
