The Book of Changes · since antiquity

Ask a question. The coins are cast. The changes answer.

A quiet oracle after the ancient method. You hold a question in mind; three coins are thrown six times on your behalf; a hexagram forms, and its classical text is read back to you — line by line, as a conversation.


問道 · the way of asking

Three coins. Six casts. One answer.

You ask

Name the thing that presses on you. Ask it once, plainly, and hold it in mind.

The coins fall

Cast on your behalf, the coins build a hexagram from the ground up — six lines, some of them moving.

The changes answer

Its Judgment, Image, and changing lines are read back to you — and where the situation is heading.

When you are ready, sit quietly and begin.
