The Tarot & The I Ching

Every morning for the past few decades, I’ve given myself a three-card tarot reading AND an I Ching reading.
A book of Chinese wisdom uses hexagrams in various combinations, a total of 64, just as tarot uses 78 cards to explore the self and the world.
While tarot has cups, wands, swords, and pentacles, along with the major arcana and court cards the I Ching uses heaven, thunder, water, mountain, earth, wind, fire, and lake.
You throw three coins six times to get your hexagram addressing your question. Depending on the way the coins fall, heads or tails, you can get just one hexagram, or it can move from one hexagram to another.
I respond to it because, for me, it marries very well with tarot. While tarot has its roots in western imagery and symbols, the I Ching’s are rooted in eastern imagery and symbols. Some days the I Ching informs my journey in a more helpful way, especially if the three-carder is confusing to me
#2, The Receptive, the Empress
#5, calculated waiting, is 2 of Swords.
#51, Shocking, is The Tower
The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing, about $20. The original I Ching Book of changes is very dense with complex imagery.

I could listen to you all day!! I guess it's time to dust off my book and coins of the I Ching. It is refreshing to try new approaches and find wonderful synchronicities and insights!! Thank you x 3. ☘☘☘

Thank you! I was just thinking to day to use I Ching from forging a better relationship (New Libra Moon) with abundance and serenity, And pulled out couple of I Ching decks to use. Your video was the first in my YouTube Subscription notifications. Serendipity! :) Thanks for all your Knowledge Madelaine, it's been invaluable. :) 💚

Thanks for sharing. I love trying new things and I am a token Asian so it would be fun to have an Eastern perspective

You’ve been such a wonderful resource on my tarot journey over the past few years.

I just started learning the I Ching and find myself wanting your explanation of the hexagrams haha

Thank you for the advice on purchasing The I Ging Workbook by R. L. Wing. I use this tool to ask questions that only concern myself as a result. For example: What should I expect if someone else does this or that? I'm really at the beginning, but I find I Ching very useful. - By the way: I read about it in "The Amber Spyglass" by Philip Pullman. - If my daily tarot reading does not give me any useful clue, I accept it: I often learn later what it meant to say to me.

Hi, thank you so much for this video.
I'm writing a novel and while doing my research for worldbuilding, I found about the I-ching.
Since I'm already using the archetypes from the tarot and it is something important for my protagonist (who's also part Chinese) and now I want to merge I-ching and Tarot.

And tho I know its not relevant for anyone, I want you to know that this video its pretty helpful to me, and to many other people. ❤️
