Fore over four thousand years, the I Ching has been consutlted as a source of philosophy and prophecy. This book of ancient Chinese wisdom is a practical oracle through which one may discover a guide to the future and an illumination of the unconscious and inner self.
How to consult the I Ching is the first truly practical guide to such consultation to appear in the English language. It will strike a sensitive and responsive chord with those who are seeking a greater understanding of themselves and of the mysterious rhythms and eternal elements of the cosmos.
