Yijing Divination
This is the main header page for Yijing Divination using the Zhouyi (book of zhou/book of changes) as taught by Liu Ming and Shambhavi Sarasvati of Jaya Kula (who learned from Ming). I learned from her and practice using Ming’s book, Ming’s introductory talks on the subject, and a few other resources listed below.
I think there are many useful texts, but what i think is best is having a relationship and not merely window shopping or comparing… this is a subject worth unpacking but probably not here. Suffice to say, 99% of the time i only use Ming’s book.
I Ching - The Oracle by Benebell Wen, Yi Jing by Wu Jing-Nuan, I Ching - The Book of Changes translated by David Hinton, and I Ching: Mothering Change website.
I recently came across this review of Ming’s yijing book which I have enjoyed reading: Yijing Dao - 'CHANGING: Zhouyi :: The Heart of the Yijing' by Liu Ming

I wrote the article-essay below when I was first learning yijing in 2020-2021. some of my thoughts have changed, but I still feel this captures the contemplative and very large view from which to approach such a risky subject as “oracular-ing” or “oracle-izing”. I am using the noun oracle here as a verb, because that is perhaps a more practical way to think about training this active skill, rather than believing that one must have some mystical special talent to speak with the dead/ancestors, etc. I plan on writing a follow-up to this article in 2025.
