Description
A modern reclaiming of the ancient Chinese I Ching. Kwan Yin, the Chinese Goddess of Mercy & Knowledge, is evoked in this adaptation of the ancient divinatory system. This book returns the I Ching to women's use and is a simple-to-use tool of great power. The book stands the I Ching side by side with the Tarot as an aspect of women's spirituality, and it is a remembering of the submerged skills of women's matriarchy.
