The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is one of the the oldest books of humanity. Each of the 64 cards in this unique deck expresses an archetypical truth. Following the Book of Changes, every card can turn into another, with Yin solidifying into Yang, and Yang melting into Yin. Includes text by I Ching expert Lunaea Weatherstone.
The companion booklets for most Lo Scarabeo decks are in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.
I've wanted to learn to read the I Ching, but it looks so complex. So when I saw these cards, I knew I had to buy them. Done in a nice cardstock, with a gloss finish, the artwork on these is perfect. It's done in sepia toned Chinese-styled artwork that fits the theme perfectly. The guide book is just a little hard to follow. The meanings are written mostly in metaphors, with the final line actually giving the clear message. There's only a few lines in each of the 64 card meanings. Which at first disappointed me, but the I looked at the REAL I Ching meanings and they seem to be about the same in length and meaning. So, if you want a an easy way of reading the I Ching, appreciate Chinese artwork, or just want a nice deck, this is for you.
