Been using Tarot for about 2 months. Constantly got the tower and ace of spades. I would glimpse at the bottom of the deck and there one of those cards would be, I'd cut the deck in half and it would be the ace of spades, etc. Drop a random card, it was one of those two. Seems like those kept coming up over and over. Well, through a strange series of events my grandfather broke his hip which led to his death. When I asked specifically about his incident, it told me that it's a tower event related to a father figure (king) that eventually leads to somewhere. I pulled the next card, ace of spades. He died a few weeks ago. I've also had other things predicted accurately, including how this week would go. The accuracy has been blowing my mind every time. There are times/days where it doesn't seem to answer, but when it does I can sit there for 2 hours and basically have a conversation through the cards. Just so no one's confused, I'm using a Marseille deck that has the usual playing card suits. I find it helps with intuitive reading not having the usual Rider-Waite symbolism. I recently picked up a pendulum to try and that thing moved - a LOT. Technically if I were to add a pendulum board to said pendulum I'd have a full on Ouija board. There's something to all of this, it definitely works. Looking forward to getting into the I Ching as well but to be honest these experiences freak me out a bit. I definitely approach all of this with great respect. Either way, I seem to be a natural at this.
I just wanted to thank you for this video. I gave it a try and my first time ever consulting the I Ching and I was sort of blown away by what I got. My cat recently went missing, and I asked about her and what I could do to help bring her home safely. The hexagram I got was for difficulty at the beginning, and my interpretation of the marked lines basically told me that many would have given up by now (she's been gone for two weeks and I have walked and driven all over my neighborhood searching and seen many cats that looked like her but were not her at all) but that if I persevere and find the right people to help me that I would be on the path to bringing her back. Within two days I got calls from two neighbors about her visiting their backyards, and a friend with a humane feral cat trap to help me because she's too afraid to come out of hiding. My cat isn't home yet, but this all just happened yesterday and I feel more confident that she's on her way back to safety.
This was fantastic! Your understanding that oracles do not predict the future but give us information to make our future is spot on. The I Ching is my favorite oracle and has spoken directly to my questions so many times I don't see how it could be coincidence. Most recently, last March I did a reading about the best way to prepare for a health issue with a family member. The advice was good and talked about making preparations and preparing for the worst, It also mentioned paying attention to the early Fall. I expected that my step-father who suffers from dementia would pass at that time. My Mom who was taking care of him was fine. In June, her health took a turn for the worse and in August, I returned home from Cambodia, where I live. My Mom passed in September. Coincidence? I don't think so and the preparations I'd made for my step-fathers's passing prepared me for Mom's. As sad as it was, I feel blessed because I had time with her, that I didn't when my father and brother passed. Your quick overview of the I Ching is great!
I remember perfectly the first time i used the i ching. I bought it because i was trying to buy the tao te ching but i was confused and found out it was the wrong book when it arrived. And when i finally used it, i couldn't find my wallet so i asked where my wallet was and the first thing it said was something to the effect of "be careful not to get too dependent on this", then i asked again and it said something like "look to the south east" or "your answers lie in the south east" and it turns out my bedroom is in the south east part of my house and i looked in the south east part of my room and my wallet was right there
I am learning Qimen Dunjia - it uses 8 of the iChing hexagrams in a 3x3 square table. The reading is based on the moment a question is asked and the interpretation is mind blowing. It uses the universal energies of the stars and “celestials” and other energies/factors at that specific moment the question is asked to conclude the interpretation.
I remember the first real divination experience i had a few years ago, which actually encouraged me to buy my divination cards. It was a time when i was living abroad and was going through some mystical stuffs like dreams, visions and moments and it had to do with traveling in silence. And it struck me hard because at that time i did had the vision about moving to another country and i haven't told anyone about it nor was i planning to and this tarot card reading popped up on my fb and gave my every advice that i needed to hear at that moment which reassured me that whatever i was doing was the right thing to do and i am still grateful for that experience. And now, while watching your tutorial about I Chin, i was also testing it out and to my reassurance the message i got from the I Chin relates to my oracle reading i did a couple of days ago. So i guess divination does works for me😌 Thanks Denis, keep up the grand job you are doing👍🏾
Excellent introduction. I use the I Ching daily, from yarrow to coins to Crowley's stick method it has been a constant advisor. I'm glad you introduced this yo your viewers. Thank you
👀🍿 Saturday salutations, my fellow Foolish Fish fans. Edit: have been wanting to learn more about incorporating the I ching into my daily divination practice. Thank you so much for providing us with such solid content. Side note: loving the GIF edits.
The I-Ching usually surprises me when I use it, which isn’t often. I’ve also introduced it to a another person whose answer was a bullseye 🎯 for the exact question she asked.
Vedic astrology is insane. If you can learn the nakshatras (fixed stars) you can predict so many details. You don't even need to use the zodiac. Each star section is divided into 4 sections. With 27 stars, that give you 108 placements to work with. Using this technique you can build a 9th divisional chart that offers even more details!
@@youmemeyou Yes, and they're good. And you can even use nakshatras in the divisionals. I had a reading from KRS astrology. He did my D10 using its nakshatras. Wow, it was amazing.
@@youmemeyou Yes, you're right. I adopted his technique and gave some great readings myself. When you have a decent understanding of the fixed stars you take a huge leap. I'm better than a lot of technical astrologers who really because the fixed stars are basically telling me what each 3 degree 20 seconds is all about. Its very specific. And it works even when you divide the main chart into divisional charts. I wish I had found a nice guru, I would love to be a pro astrologer.
Predictions are not made specifically based on Nakshatras per se. Though there are some predictive methods based on Nakshatras counted from your Moon’s Nakshatra (Tara Bala). Predictions are made based on deep knowledge of Jyotish and especially when learnt from a parampara - old tradition through a Guru. So many factors play a role like Arudha Lagnas, D9 and other divisional charts, Atmakaraka, yogas , Dashas. KRS is entertaining but not deep. Have a look at Sanjay Rath as he comes from an ancient lineage and you will change how you view Vedic Astrology. KRS also has some interviews with him on his channel.
I bought this book after watching your review and my first attempt just clicked right away, a really insightful and pragmatic response, and a very encouraging start. As a novice I've always found the advice in your content very reassurring too. You've got a very personable and settled demeanour and these tips are grounded and have been very useful for me, thank you Den. Many thanks too to all of Foolish Fish, Benebell Wen and the I Ching.
Wow-this couldn't have been more timely. I just picked up a book from the library to learn more about this--thank you for making a video on this-how cool! You're the best!
Interesting that you ask this! ;) I have very little experience with the I Ching, but the one time I did have some contact with it was while I was doing a ritual with a Chinese-American friend of mine, and we weren't sure what to do next, and so he did some I Ching divination to find out. I wasn't familiar in-depth with the system at the time, so I thought that his having to throw the coins so many times meant something was going wrong...but in fact, it was quite right, and we followed what was indicated and the resulting ritual was quite amazing to have taken part in. Tarot is fun, but I have had very few "good" readings with it, whether from myself or from others (and I've had a few excellent tarot readers read for me--Rachel Pollack, for example! It was a fun reading, but didn't end up being especially "accurate" in the end). The best tarot reading I've ever had was still the first one ever, from the girlfriend of a friend, when I was just about to tell my mother that I didn't want to go through confirmation as a Catholic (after having been a polytheist for two years!), and the tarot spoke very directly to that question on that occasion. It was in August of 1993, and was just a basic Celtic Cross spread with the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, and it sticks out in my mind as having been especially relevant and poignant...in fact, I can credit that occasion with starting my intense interest in tarot. (My experiences before that are essentially limited to a single-card reading one time before Physical Science class began when someone who sat near me announced that she just got a tarot deck, and did anyone want a single card reading...it was the Hanged Man! This was in late 1989.) The most accurate and mind-blowing readings I've ever had were with the Hebrew Lots, from Elisheva Nesher, who died on January 1st of this year. Absolutely amazing... And, the most frequent and useful readings I've had are the Ephesia Grammata divinations that I do on a regular basis (several times a week, and on some occasions, three to thirty questions a day when a complex issue needs further clarification!). It's the preferred oracular voice for several of the Deities that I deal with on a regular basis, and I have three sets of them for particular Deities, with the "main set" being the one shared by my two main Deities. One could almost say I live my devotional life by the guidance of the Ephesia Grammata, and as a result my devotional life has been much improved over the last decade-plus!
I am impressed with the tutorial but also with the performance of these little Polish coins I have probably a few kilos at home and never ever thought about using them for divination 😄
Definitely with the I Ching which I started using about forty years ago, ive had times when a genuine independent intelligence seemed to be responding directly. I have four different versions currently and use both the coin and yarrow stalk systems. I picked my yarrow stalks in the Scottish countryside, decades ago, still have them wrapped in coloured ribbons.I have been watching Benabell's excellent videos on the I Ching, she has fabulous insights and knowledge the book is definitely a must get.
Thanks dear Denis! Your info esp re asking the right question is very helpful. In Dec 2022, a couple of tarot readings & an I Ching reading mentioned 'powerful jolt'. Within days I had an accident, requiring (successful) surgery & months of rehab. Definitely a powerful jolt! 😆 In recent times, I get 2 of the same symbol coming up together in odd ways. Tarot (even online, general readings) have hit home. I'm learning tarot. It's amazing how certain cards follow one around depending on current life situation. Take care & lots of love! 🥰💕
Iching is the base the begging of Chinese Metaphysics I use Qimen Dun Jia what is also very accurate the hexagram will be consider the solution to the outcome ! Thank you for all amazing videos ! 🙏🏻😇 I also read that one can meditate with the hexagram they used to do this in olden times .
The craziest divination experience I've had was using Josephine McCarthy's tarot layout to find an object. I had lost my glasses and thought it'd be funny to try to divine their location. When my interpretation found nothing, I was not surprised. But then I realized that I had gotten my compass points mixed up and looked in a new area... an area where I quite firmly believed that my glasses could not possibly be. There they were. Blew my damned mind. It was such a simple question with no possibility of my interpreting it in whatever way "seemed right": it either was or it wasn't. That was the day I decided to stop playing with divination and start taking it seriously.
I've had my tarot read quite a bit, and literally half the time I get the Knight of swords. That's just one instance of me having my mind blown by divination, especially from tarot decks that are different decks and done by different people haha
Thank you for that. I'll give I Ching a go. I find any type of divination amazingly accurate. I do tarot and I use divining rods. I can find water every time and I also find spirit energy and lived with a spirit for decades. I've gone from complete non-believer to a sensitive witch. Our universe is more amazing than you'll ever comprehend. Thanks for adding to my arsenal. 👍🙏
I make frequent use of Geomancy and it’s never steered me wrong. But the most mind blowing divination that I’ve done was with astrology. I was reading a friend’s chart and told them some things to expect in the next few months. One thing in particular I pointed out was that there would be a conflict with their friends concerning communication. They said, “hmm I don’t know what that would be but I guess I’ll be prepared.” Three months later their group of friends had a huge falling as a result of some text messages that were sent. I was blown away by how on point my prediction was. It was a real “astrologer good” moment where I was happy for predicting it but the situation itself wasn’t good. Lol
My first geomancy reading I did was because a package I had ordered was taking forever to arrive. The judge (or ultimate answer) I received was Populus. Populus is the most stable and inactive figure in geomancy, and can mean something is stuck, stagnant, unmoving, or unchanged. Turned out, my package was indeed stuck in US Customs for weeks.
Awesome!!! Thank you sooo much Dennis!! I was always curious about I ching!!! I found out there was some info for the I ching in the equinox but haven't read 'em so far!!!
Been noticing a lot of change in myself lately and that it feels like my life has been in a transitional state or at least moving into one and I have not been sure of what my choices might hold for me and I feel almost stuck, some "advice" may be what exactly I needed. Thank you so much again Denis, I needed this more than I knew, now time to try it out.
Currently I’ve been using the Kuan Yin oracle that I’ve had for a year, when I first bought it I was really confused by it being a book. I’d never come across a book oracle back then and I didn’t really get how to use it even though it’s quite simple really. Anyway it didn’t resonate. I picked it up randomly the other day while tidying my bookshelf and decided to try it and the answer I got was perfect. It felt like my being was suddenly being filled with a deep sense of peace and love the more I sat with the answer. I wasn’t expecting it to have such a moving effect on me. I’m still learning how to use it but so far it’s been really helpful.
I have 10 6 sided dice with the first 6 Trigrams 1: ☰ Heaven (Qian) 2: ☷ Earth (Kun) 3: ☵ Water (Kan) 4: ☲ Fire (Li) 5: ☳ Thunder (Zhen) 6: ☴ Wind/Wood (Xun) on it, since its not 8 sided im missing ☶ Mountain (Gen) ☱ Lake (Dui) are these dice worthless or is there something i can do with them?
I mostly use divination as a brainstorming exercise for fiction writing. TBH a lot of the time I flip-flop about what I believe I'm tapping into, whether it's a spirit that presides over artistic inspiration such as the Greek Muses, my own subconscious, or some sort of spirit specific to the divination system I'm using. Anyway, the first time I tried this out was with geomancy. I asked it to predict the plot of a story I'd been writing and I was *extremely* impressed by how close it was to my outline and how well it all fit with the characterization of the characters involved, specially when interpreting the house chart.
¿entonces no hay forma de predecir el futuro, quizá el mas inmediato? que hay acerca de la teoria de que el tiempo esta pasando todo en todo momento, lo nuestro solo es percepción.
Does an I Ching card deck work as well as using the coins since there's a lot less steps involved? I assume its the same way...think of your question/situation while shuffling and picking a card? Or, are the coins more effective since you build the hexagram? Thank you!!
I like the coins due to the increased potential for uncertainty, and the changing lines. Each line is really the result of chaos - all possibilities at once, suddenly crystallising as one of the four possibilities: 6, 7, 8, or 9
@@FoolishFishBooks thank you! i can see that the coins would be more potent/effective as its longer process with more steps than cards that already have all the lines. So, are the cards effective at all?
But wait, not if there are only 64 cards - how would you get changing lines? You'd need 4096 cards to represent all the possibilities with changing lines...
Question, for the coins should I get authentic coins (and if so where would I find them? I can’t seem to find a link) and if I do not need authentic coins then can I just use some regular dimes?
So I have a question about your technique with the changing lines. Let's use your example from the video. Hexagram 64 with changing lines 3 & 4. So would you just go into your book and see what it has to say about lines 3 and 4 for Hexagram 64? I ask this because when I tried to look up what to do with changing lines, after watching your video, it looks like everyone is doing something different from you? It looks like what they do with their changing lines is, after looking up general information from the hexagram they got, they would literally *change* those changing lines to their opposite. Creating a new hexagram. And then look up what that Hexagram has to say. They don't mention anything about checking the specific line interpretation from either the original or the new Hexagram. Is that something you do as well? Immediately after watching your video, I tried this myself and just reading the line information from the original hexagram was really good. But after "changing" my Hexagram and looking that up, that seems pretty good as well. And now I'm confused :(
Both are done, finding it what your situation is changing into can give insight too, but the first thing to do is definitely to look up the changing lines' meanings in the original hexagram you cast
That explains why my divination made sense then cause I was doing the right thing! Thanks@@FoolishFishBooks. I have something of interest to you now that I have the book myself. More correspondences from the Universe revealing themselves. The first Hexagram I casted following your video was Hexagram 63 (the inverse of yours very interestingly enough). Note those numbers. 6 & 3. #3 is the number associated with Saturn. Death, destruction, loss, endings and costly mistakes. Check the interpretation of Line 6 of Hexagram 63. Have you noticed? That's right! A mistake. Everywhere else in this book she boxes in the actual chinese words plus the translation before going on to the interpretation. But for Line 6, that box with the Chinese and translation are totally missing. 6-3. The Hexagram of Conclusions and Completions is... incomplete. Opposites are the same. Polarity abounds. Third time's a charm maybe they should call it third time's a curse. Heh. Check it out; pay attention. It really looks like this Nintendo Rule of 3 is a real thing.
@FoolishFishBooks nooo, there was just one i-ching right at the end that showed up as eating.. I genuinely loved that you decided to use them, sorry king I'm not wanting to discourage you 😔
@FoolishFishBooks I understand completely, but you've got this brotherman 🫡 and once again, thank you for your content 🙏🏻 ah, this feeling of guilt just doesn't wanna leave now 😢 Already looking forward to your next upload, so please don't drop the subs just double check the foreign ones, or rather not native to English, maybe🙃 🫠 Mad love for you brotherman, mad love
Great video. While I love I-Ching, I find the traditional process too tedious for daily divination. It's much easier shuffling and pulling from an I-Ching card deck, just as one does with tarot cards. 😉

After seeing Benebells book was released I have a greater interest in the I Ching.

It was in August of 1993, and was just a basic Celtic Cross spread with the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, and it sticks out in my mind as having been especially relevant and poignant...in fact, I can credit that occasion with starting my intense interest in tarot.
(My experiences before that are essentially limited to a single-card reading one time before Physical Science class began when someone who sat near me announced that she just got a tarot deck, and did anyone want a single card reading...it was the Hanged Man! This was in late 1989.)
The most accurate and mind-blowing readings I've ever had were with the Hebrew Lots, from Elisheva Nesher, who died on January 1st of this year. Absolutely amazing...
And, the most frequent and useful readings I've had are the Ephesia Grammata divinations that I do on a regular basis (several times a week, and on some occasions, three to thirty questions a day when a complex issue needs further clarification!). It's the preferred oracular voice for several of the Deities that I deal with on a regular basis, and I have three sets of them for particular Deities, with the "main set" being the one shared by my two main Deities. One could almost say I live my devotional life by the guidance of the Ephesia Grammata, and as a result my devotional life has been much improved over the last decade-plus!
I am impressed with the tutorial but also with the performance of these little Polish coins I have probably a few kilos at home and never ever thought about using them for divination 😄
Yep! I like to use the 2 grosze ones as they have the correct value printed on the tails side (2)
Definitely with the I Ching which I started using about forty years ago, ive had times when a genuine independent intelligence seemed to be responding directly. I have four different versions currently and use both the coin and yarrow stalk systems. I picked my yarrow stalks in the Scottish countryside, decades ago, still have them wrapped in coloured ribbons.I have been watching Benabell's excellent videos on the I Ching, she has fabulous insights and knowledge the book is definitely a must get.
I Ching is amazing, and absolutely will give it to you straight.
Thanks dear Denis! Your info esp re asking the right question is very helpful.
In Dec 2022, a couple of tarot readings & an I Ching reading mentioned 'powerful jolt'. Within days I had an accident, requiring (successful) surgery & months of rehab. Definitely a powerful jolt! 😆
In recent times, I get 2 of the same symbol coming up together in odd ways.
Tarot (even online, general readings) have hit home.
I'm learning tarot. It's amazing how certain cards follow one around depending on current life situation.
Take care & lots of love! 🥰💕
I have had great advice from the i-ching, it can blow your mind.
I just noticed that you spoke the Chinese terms with the correct tones! Very impressive!
😄🙏
Iching is the base the begging of Chinese Metaphysics I use Qimen Dun Jia what is also very accurate the hexagram will be consider the solution to the outcome ! Thank you for all amazing videos ! 🙏🏻😇 I also read that one can meditate with the hexagram they used to do this in olden times .
The craziest divination experience I've had was using Josephine McCarthy's tarot layout to find an object.
I had lost my glasses and thought it'd be funny to try to divine their location. When my interpretation found nothing, I was not surprised. But then I realized that I had gotten my compass points mixed up and looked in a new area... an area where I quite firmly believed that my glasses could not possibly be. There they were. Blew my damned mind.
It was such a simple question with no possibility of my interpreting it in whatever way "seemed right": it either was or it wasn't. That was the day I decided to stop playing with divination and start taking it seriously.
I wonder if this would also work for my cat who went missing over 3 weeks ago? I have, at this point, zero knowledge about I Ching....
I've had my tarot read quite a bit, and literally half the time I get the Knight of swords. That's just one instance of me having my mind blown by divination, especially from tarot decks that are different decks and done by different people haha
I love the Ching, the first instrument I ever learned to divine with.
Thank you for that. I'll give I Ching a go. I find any type of divination amazingly accurate. I do tarot and I use divining rods. I can find water every time and I also find spirit energy and lived with a spirit for decades. I've gone from complete non-believer to a sensitive witch. Our universe is more amazing than you'll ever comprehend. Thanks for adding to my arsenal. 👍🙏
How much you charge for tarot?
I make frequent use of Geomancy and it’s never steered me wrong. But the most mind blowing divination that I’ve done was with astrology.
I was reading a friend’s chart and told them some things to expect in the next few months. One thing in particular I pointed out was that there would be a conflict with their friends concerning communication. They said, “hmm I don’t know what that would be but I guess I’ll be prepared.” Three months later their group of friends had a huge falling as a result of some text messages that were sent.
I was blown away by how on point my prediction was. It was a real “astrologer good” moment where I was happy for predicting it but the situation itself wasn’t good. Lol
Amazing!
I learned about this thru Fa divination and Human Design. Thanks for the walk thru!
Very beautiful brother 😊 hail to the journey and understanding of insight and knowledge.
My first geomancy reading I did was because a package I had ordered was taking forever to arrive. The judge (or ultimate answer) I received was Populus. Populus is the most stable and inactive figure in geomancy, and can mean something is stuck, stagnant, unmoving, or unchanged. Turned out, my package was indeed stuck in US Customs for weeks.
Geomancy is another surprisingly accurate method!
Great stuff. Thank you
Really helpful, thank you!
Amazing tutorial as always!
Awesome!!! Thank you sooo much Dennis!! I was always curious about I ching!!! I found out there was some info for the I ching in the equinox but haven't read 'em so far!!!
Not sure if I'm just slow to notice, or if it's only this video, but thank you very much for the built-in subtitles!
Yes, I experimented with it this time (second time around) but the amount of time it takes is way too much, I don't think I'll be doing it very often
Thank you Denis Very clear and informative
Thank you that was useful
Been noticing a lot of change in myself lately and that it feels like my life has been in a transitional state or at least moving into one and I have not been sure of what my choices might hold for me and I feel almost stuck, some "advice" may be what exactly I needed. Thank you so much again Denis, I needed this more than I knew, now time to try it out.
Currently I’ve been using the Kuan Yin oracle that I’ve had for a year, when I first bought it I was really confused by it being a book. I’d never come across a book oracle back then and I didn’t really get how to use it even though it’s quite simple really. Anyway it didn’t resonate. I picked it up randomly the other day while tidying my bookshelf and decided to try it and the answer I got was perfect. It felt like my being was suddenly being filled with a deep sense of peace and love the more I sat with the answer. I wasn’t expecting it to have such a moving effect on me. I’m still learning how to use it but so far it’s been really helpful.
Thank you ❤
I have 10 6 sided dice with the first 6 Trigrams
1: ☰ Heaven (Qian)
2: ☷ Earth (Kun)
3: ☵ Water (Kan)
4: ☲ Fire (Li)
5: ☳ Thunder (Zhen)
6: ☴ Wind/Wood (Xun) on it, since its not 8 sided im missing
☶ Mountain (Gen)
☱ Lake (Dui)
are these dice worthless or is there something i can do with them?
Thank you
I mostly use divination as a brainstorming exercise for fiction writing. TBH a lot of the time I flip-flop about what I believe I'm tapping into, whether it's a spirit that presides over artistic inspiration such as the Greek Muses, my own subconscious, or some sort of spirit specific to the divination system I'm using. Anyway, the first time I tried this out was with geomancy. I asked it to predict the plot of a story I'd been writing and I was *extremely* impressed by how close it was to my outline and how well it all fit with the characterization of the characters involved, specially when interpreting the house chart.
¿entonces no hay forma de predecir el futuro, quizá el mas inmediato? que hay acerca de la teoria de que el tiempo esta pasando todo en todo momento, lo nuestro solo es percepción.
@Foolish Fish, is there a good resource you’d recommend to purchase I-Ching sticks?
No, but it's a good question. I think Etsy would be my first port of call.
Can you please do a review of the Book of Agares? Thank you ❤
You are Polish? Your accent is incredible ! I never would guess that
Haha! Actually I'm French British, I live in Poland with my Polish wife and our son.
Does an I Ching card deck work as well as using the coins since there's a lot less steps involved? I assume its the same way...think of your question/situation while shuffling and picking a card? Or, are the coins more effective since you build the hexagram? Thank you!!
I like the coins due to the increased potential for uncertainty, and the changing lines. Each line is really the result of chaos - all possibilities at once, suddenly crystallising as one of the four possibilities: 6, 7, 8, or 9
@@FoolishFishBooks thank you! i can see that the coins would be more potent/effective as its longer process with more steps than cards that already have all the lines. So, are the cards effective at all?
@@username54487 yes! I'm sure they are if they're extremely well shuffled.
But wait, not if there are only 64 cards - how would you get changing lines? You'd need 4096 cards to represent all the possibilities with changing lines...
Question, for the coins should I get authentic coins (and if so where would I find them? I can’t seem to find a link) and if I do not need authentic coins then can I just use some regular dimes?
Regular dimes are often easier to use than traditional coins where heads and tails can be confusing! 🙏
So I have a question about your technique with the changing lines. Let's use your example from the video. Hexagram 64 with changing lines 3 & 4. So would you just go into your book and see what it has to say about lines 3 and 4 for Hexagram 64?
I ask this because when I tried to look up what to do with changing lines, after watching your video, it looks like everyone is doing something different from you? It looks like what they do with their changing lines is, after looking up general information from the hexagram they got, they would literally *change* those changing lines to their opposite. Creating a new hexagram. And then look up what that Hexagram has to say. They don't mention anything about checking the specific line interpretation from either the original or the new Hexagram.
Is that something you do as well? Immediately after watching your video, I tried this myself and just reading the line information from the original hexagram was really good. But after "changing" my Hexagram and looking that up, that seems pretty good as well. And now I'm confused :(
Both are done, finding it what your situation is changing into can give insight too, but the first thing to do is definitely to look up the changing lines' meanings in the original hexagram you cast
That explains why my divination made sense then cause I was doing the right thing! Thanks@@FoolishFishBooks. I have something of interest to you now that I have the book myself. More correspondences from the Universe revealing themselves.
The first Hexagram I casted following your video was Hexagram 63 (the inverse of yours very interestingly enough). Note those numbers. 6 & 3. #3 is the number associated with Saturn. Death, destruction, loss, endings and costly mistakes. Check the interpretation of Line 6 of Hexagram 63. Have you noticed?
That's right! A mistake. Everywhere else in this book she boxes in the actual chinese words plus the translation before going on to the interpretation. But for Line 6, that box with the Chinese and translation are totally missing. 6-3. The Hexagram of Conclusions and Completions is... incomplete. Opposites are the same. Polarity abounds.
Third time's a charm maybe they should call it third time's a curse. Heh. Check it out; pay attention. It really looks like this Nintendo Rule of 3 is a real thing.
I have to say, why not just read all 64, regularly gathering wisdom, and use whichever pieces you can fit to better your life?
There are as many flavours of I Ching as Ice Cream...
My favourite is Wilhelm Jungs' Pistaccio... 🍧Mmm !
How to know I ching give me right response
❤
Brotherman, lovely video as always ❤ but please check all your subtitles 😅
Well, I spent 3 hours checking them, but I'm guessing you still found mistakes... I won't bother again 😂
@FoolishFishBooks nooo, there was just one i-ching right at the end that showed up as eating.. I genuinely loved that you decided to use them, sorry king I'm not wanting to discourage you 😔
@FoolishFishBooks I was really stoked to find you'd taken the time, thought maybe you'd just used auto generator and left it.. forgiveness
@@ihavefunnyF33T oh, no, it's not your comment, it's the 3 hours 😆
@FoolishFishBooks I understand completely, but you've got this brotherman 🫡 and once again, thank you for your content 🙏🏻
ah, this feeling of guilt just doesn't wanna leave now 😢
Already looking forward to your next upload, so please don't drop the subs just double check the foreign ones, or rather not native to English, maybe🙃 🫠
Mad love for you brotherman, mad love
Great video. While I love I-Ching, I find the traditional process too tedious for daily divination.
It's much easier shuffling and pulling from an I-Ching card deck, just as one does with tarot cards. 😉
But you don't get the personalised messages of the changing lines this way (you'd need over 4000 cards to cover all the permutations!)
Oo polish grosze :)
✨😎
But are u asking you own all for help?
