I Ching Ritual

Ritual is not theater. It stops hurry: question written, role named, lines gathered honestly.

Before casting

Narrow the question to one situation and name what truly depends on you.

  • fact
  • role
  • choice

During casting

Build lines from bottom to top. Do not judge the answer before the sixth line.

  • bottom line first
  • sixth line last
  • do not alter

After casting

Read the primary hexagram, then moving lines, then the direction of the resulting one.

  • do not panic
  • do not repeat from anxiety
  • write the step

Checklist

  • There is one question.
  • Lines are gathered honestly.
  • The answer is saved to archive.

Boundaries

  • Ritual does not make the answer absolute.
  • Ritual does not replace facts or professionals.
