THE I CHING
A new translation of the
BOOK of CHANGES
by The Master Therion
INTRODUCTION
The Yi King is mathematical and philosophical in form.
Its structure is cognate with that of the Qabalah; the
actual apparatus is simple, and five minutes is sufficient
to obtain a fairly detailed answer to any but the most
obscure questions.
To Mega Therion
THE TAO
1. TAO concentrateth itself upon Kether as a point.
2. TAO directeth itself within Chokmah and becometh
the Male Force. He is called YANG, and is symbolized
by a Solid Line.
3. TAO expandeth in Binah and becometh the Female
Force. She is called YIN, and is symbolized by
a Broken Line.
4. These three: TAO, YANG and YIN, bring forth heaven
and earth, and all contained therein.
THE APPARATUS
0. TAO is the source of the Yi King, as of all.
1. Thou shalt obtain 6 Chinese coins. Five shall be of
one metal and the sixth of another. One side ye shall
call Yang, and the other Yin (Heads and Tails).
2. These coins should be kept in a wrapped black cloth,
and no other should lay his hand upon them. For they
swell with thine aura when used with sincerity and
repititon.
3. Hast no coins? Six sticks will serve. Paint one side
solid and the other broken. One of the six is especial;
It should be made unique by painting one end on both
sides. Care for thine sticks as though they were coins.
THE METHOD
4. When a situation ariseth in thy mind, and you wouldst
seek an oracle, do thus: Go and take out thine coins
or sticks.
5. Face thou East; and make clear thy mind, so that no
thoughts shall intrude.
6. Call upon what god ye will; filling thyself with
pure light, and raising thine mind to a fixed image
of the situation into which you inquire.
7. Then, gently toss thy sticks or coins toward the
East; they wilst fall into a certain pattern which
thou wilt arrange into an Hexagram - the unit of
Divination of this book: Yi King.
THE HEXAGRAM
8. An Hexagram is made up of six lines; each line
being Yang or Yin. The especial stick or coin
is called "The Moving Line."
9. Each line of the Hexagram is numbered: The line
nearest thyself is number One; whilst the farthest
away is number Six.
AN EXAMPLE
10. Thou hast concentrated upon thy situation, and
thine sticks have fallen thus:
Line 6 - YANG (a solid line)
Line 5 - YANG (a solid line)
Line 4 - Yang (a solid line)
Line 3 - YANG (a solid line)
Line 2 - YIN (a broken line)
Line 1 - YIN (a broken line)
( - The moving line is in line 2)
11. The Hexagram will look like this:
----------
----------
----------
----------
---- ----
---- ----
12. Take notice that the Hexagram is divided into two
Trigrams: An upper Trigram and a lower Trigram.
INTERPRETATION
13. Taking thine key, which is in this book: thou wilst
find the upper Trigram along the top of the squares.
Next, find the lower Trigram at the left of the chart.
14. Follow thee the Trigrams into the center of the Key -
Behold the number 33.
15. Then, thou shalt read the Thirty-third Hexagram in
this Book: Yi King.
16. The first two lines refer to the Hexagram as a whole,
shewing thee the direction of the matter.
17. Next, appeareth a six-line poem. The first line of
this poem pertaineth to the line number One in the
Hexagram. The last line of the poem is for number
Six (the one farthest from thy-self).
18. The Moving Line (in this case number Two) is the
specific line which pertains to thy situation:
Thine answer from the TAO.
19. If thou dost not understand, and are bewildered by
doubts and questions concerning the Forces of this
Divination: Thou mayest read in "Magick" where the
Master Therion hath made discourse upon the subject
by his understanding of the TAO.
