I Ching: The Chinese Book of Changes: Oracle, Advice, Self-help (Library of Oracles)

The I Ching, or Chinese Book of Changes, is the world's oldest divinatory method to remain intact. As an oracle, it sets out a framework of symbols, and readings which give insight into the forces-- literally, the changes--occurring at any particular moment in time and which can provide answers to questions about our lives, relationships, health, wealth and happiness. The first creators of the I Ching studied the stars and tides, plants and animals, as well as, the rhythms of natural forces such as wind, thunder, fire and water. They began to recognize repeating patterns in their kinship and families, in commerce and politics, and in the eternal dramas of love, ambition, conflict, and honor. Marlies Holitzka offers a direct approach to this ancient Chinese wisdom and its interpretations. Comes with a beautifully illustrated 160 page book and 64 oracle cards with a fabric carrying pouch.
