I Ching, Yijing or Zhou Yi
"Oracle of the moon": © 2000 LiSe
Every question to the Yi is an effort to make an alignment with the Great Images of Heaven, the Xiang, or to check its correctness, to set the alignment right.
The names of several (or maybe most) hexagrams are names of sacrifices. They are certainly all "Images of Heaven, Xiang". We cast the coins in order to align with supernatural forces. This is the core of every religion, of Chan (zen), Yoga, art and everything which connects us with the essence of Heaven and Earth. Without this alignment we feel lost, stressed or confused, and our good fortune leaves us.
