Myths For Change.
The I Ching is the oldest and most respected oracle or divinatory system in the world. There are currently two kinds of translations available which offer somewhat conflicting interpretations - the popular Confucian version and an earlier, Taoist version called Zhouyi. Reconstructed by twentieth-century scholars and archaeologists, Zhouyi presents the highly imaginative world of myth and ritual that is the hidden base of thousands of years of Eastern thought.
Now, for the first time ever, and after years of detailed research and study, Stephen Karcher fuses these two traditions and presents them to the modern Western reader in a comprehensive, accessible and vivid new form.
'Total I Ching' is a complete oracle with instruction, for immediate use in all life situations, but is also the first translation to detail the mythology of the divinatory system, offering a revolutionary new approach to the world's oldest wisdom tradition.
