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:

ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ

ÜÜÜÜ ÜÜÜÜ

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.
