The I Ching is a mixture of philosophy and fortune telling, and while it is the latter that has caught the imagination of Westerners, it should really be viewed as wise words from the gods to a Chinese person who consults it. The I Ching system provides information, wisdom, virtue, warning, advice and caution. many readings concern progress or hindrance along one's life path. It can even advice as to which direction to travel in to maximise one's potential or to minimise the chances of disaster.
This book introduces the I Ching using clear concise text and illustrations to visually guide you through consultations.
