Generally speaking you shouldn't use a software or other script to consult the I-ching oracle. This oracle is an extremely live entity, so you may use only natural traditional devices to access its wisdom.

By tradition, I-ching divination is made with the use of yarrow stalks or coins. The yarrow stalks method is better because the yarrow sticks are considered to be spirit-like, linked to the oracular power of I-ching. Yarrow stalks methods is explained here.

Inquiry Guide

-> Before inquiring the oracle it is advisable to purchase the James Legge's English translation of I-ching , because it is the most accurate. When you need to read the I-ching texts use this version instead of those published by most of the online I-ching applications. You may buy this version from our online store - click here.

Note: There's an online application which offers 2 versions of I-ching - Wilhelm's and Legge's. Please click here to access this application.

-> Oracle answers are always provided in a symbolic/encrypted language (like most of the ancient oracles). This is why you may need help with translating them in terms of your specific concern (inquiry). We offer online assistance with your questions and answers. Click here to access our assistance page.
