A Quick I Ching Reading on Hexagram 24

The I Ching (Yi Jing) is the shamanic oracle of Chinese antiquity, also called the Book of Change. A collection of 64 change archetypes, manipulations and play arrangements in schematic form, it's one of the oldest surviving forms of divination. I say divination rather than fortune-telling, as the latter tends to suggest deities or other powers that control our human fates, whereas, in my experience as an animist medium and conjurer that it's more about change unfolding according to each situation's principles, and that all things in the process of change are connected. This allows us to determine our exact position in the unfolding process, understand who or what it will impact, and proceed with confidence in our predictions. The I Ching emphasizes probability, analyzing conditions, and envisioning actions to shape desired outcomes or avert dangers. In this way, divining becomes a form of innovation, blending creativity with technical analysis.
