Description
Stephen Karcher fuses these two traditions using modern scholarship and archaeological and linguistic research, along with a wide background in Eastern philosophy and comparative religion, and presents them to the modern Western reader in a comprehensive and accessible form. The book is a complete oracle with instruction for immediate use in all life situations, but also details the mythology of the divinatory system, offering a new approach to the world's oldest wisdom tradition.
Reviews / Votes
'This could be Karcher's masterpiece - a beautiful, liberating, potent and inspiring version of the ancient classic. Working with the original Chinese texts and drawing on the most recent scholarship, Karcher shatters the constricting cage of traditional interpretations to open up the oracle's lost mythic dimension. Even experienced users of the I Ching will be astonished by the extraordinary riches they will find in Total I Ching' Dr Roderick Main, Lecturer in Psychoanalytic Studies, University of EssexMore details
