Runes or I Ching

Runes speak short and sharp. I Ching builds a map of movement. Choose by whether you need a bell strike or a long strategy.

Shows the difference between archetypal sign and a system of change.

Runes: one sharp sign

A rune fits when you need a short orientation: where strength is, where a boundary is, where the road is, where to stop.

  • One day.
  • One choice.
  • One inner resource.

I Ching: map of transition

I Ching fits processes: how the situation changes, what has ripened, what is too early to touch.

  • Long project.
  • Complex crossroads.
  • Moment of waiting.

Ten-second choice
