Ling Ch'i Ching

by Ralph D. Sawyer (Translator)

In comparison to other divination works in the Chinese tradition, the Ling Ch'i Ching is a reasonably accessible text requiring little interpretation or annotation. Developed by a Chinese scholar almost 2,000 years ago, the Ling Ch'i Ching involves 12 disks (or any common coin), and 125 triagraphs or life situations. This English translation, undertaken in an attempt to make the work easily understood by the widest audience possible, provides an oracle based on the triagraph, a verse illuminating the meaning of the oracle, and commentary drawn from classic Chinese sources. This divination method offers no cut-and-dried predictions, but rather makes prophecies from which you can draw your own wisdom.
