The "I-Ging" is an oracle invented in China in order to talk with gods and
spirits. Nowadays it is used to predict the future for certain situations. When
translating the word I-Ging it means the "book of changes". While time passes
nothing remains the same. Everything changes its shape.
There is
nothing in the univers
Which lasts forever.
Everything behaves like high tide an low tide.
All things created carry
The seed of change inside themselves.
Ovid |

You can apply the
I-Ging most easily by throwing 3 coins simutaneously. According to the upsides of the 3
coins you will eather get an open line (Yin) or a whole line (Yang). By doing the same
procedure 6 times in a row you will obtain 6 lines starting from the bottom to the top.
This figure is called a hexagram consisting of the upper and lower trigram. There are 8
possible combinations of hexagrams.
Instead of throwing 3 coins there is a more traditional way using a bunch of 50
yarrow-stalks. By separating this bunch with your hands a couple of times you will get an
open or closed line as well. Doing the same process 6 times you will obtain a hexagram.
This method is much more time consuming but leads to more precise results.The CD
carries a special sound-track to each of the 8 trigrams. Using only the sound of wind
harps, hand played harp and some natural sound effects give you a colorful image to each
of the trigrams. |
