The Magician's I Ching

* A new approach to the seminal Chinese text, The I Ching or the Book of Changes

Beyond the core text, there is also significant material for the advanced practitioner: secret techniques of I Ching work, the significance of opposition, nuclear hexagrams, the mathematics of the I Ching, and the importance of line positions. There is information on the history of the I Ching and philosophical concepts in I Ching history that are rarely mentioned in western books on the subject. Also featured are entirely new methods of casting the I Ching, as well as the historical “Plum Blossom” numerological method (the I Ching “horoscope” of dates and times). Western esoteric practitioners will also find particular use in advanced material on the relationships between the I Ching and the western concepts of the elements, the I Ching and the western Qabalah, historical notes on Aleister Crowley's relationship with the I Ching, and an appendix with practical instructions on how to integrate the I Ching into one's daily magical/mystical practice.
