This is a guide book to the I Ching,* the classic Chinese book of wisdom, designed for the reader seeking a quick comprehension of the subject. The author explains clearly, step by step, the fundamental principles of the I Ching, and gives a clear insight into the meanings of the eight trigrams and sixty-four hexagrams which the book contains. For divination purposes the book will be invaluable when used in conjunction with the I Ching, for it explains the line construction of the hexagrams, and gives many meanings to each of the trigrams. In addition the several translated hexagram titles with their different shades of interpretation will moble the divine ishysly to gasp
The author illustrates the links between the I Ching and astrology, numerology, symbology and the hidden occult truths of Christian ritual. She also discusses Jung's explanation of how the I Ching is able to give guidance over problems encountered in both the spiritual and physical life by enabling 'the collective unconscious' to be contacted, thus
embracing any given situation as a cosmic whole instead of a separate, very limited and therefore distorted experience.
