This book was incredibly fascinating. While I cannot admit to feeling comfortable using the I Ching, this book did explain it in such a way that I feel at least as though I understand the process. I also really enjoyed the images and the commentary on each hexagram. I especially loved the breakdown of the different lines for each hexagram. While I didn't get the chance to actually practice using the I Ching, I do plan to try at some point when I can collect the materials needed for consulting the book in more depth. This is the perfect book for any eastern philosophy lover, or individual otherwise interested in magic and tarot-like practices.
