About this product

A question you have carried for weeks, a quiet table, three coins warm in your cupped hands. The I Ching, the Book of Changes, is among the oldest of the Chinese divination texts, traditionally consulted by casting yarrow stalks or, in the simpler method this set follows, three coins.

The coins are square-holed in the old cash-coin pattern, stamped with characters on one face and plain on the other. They are cast in brass rather than stamped from sheet metal, which gives them a heft closer to genuine antique cash coins than the thin souvenir reproductions. With them comes a paperback translation, its pages numbered to the sixty-four hexagrams, that favors plain, literal wording over poetic rendering, so a first-time reader is not left guessing at metaphor on top of the method.

Details

  • Three cast brass coins, square-holed
  • Small drawstring pouch
  • Paperback translation of the I Ching

How to use

Toss all three coins together and note the mix of heads and tails: by old custom, each throw gives one line. Repeat five more times, building the hexagram from the bottom up, then look up the finished figure in the book. It is slower than a card draw, and suited to a question that deserves that patience.

A method that rewards sitting with the answer.
