I Ching: The Shamanic Oracle of Change

A new translation of the ancient Chinese text the I Ching (Book of Changes) that returns to the earliest texts, revealing the shamanic oracle & the dramatic historical events that inspired & shaped this greatest book of Chinese divination. For more than 3,000 years it has been used as a source of guidance, divination & inspiration. Through painstaking research, the translators uncovered a period in Chinese history when the Chou tribe rebelled against the Shang dynasty. The Chou tribes consulted the shaman, who advised them how to overthrow the Shang. Through these powers they gained their freedom, & this guidance became the I Ching oracle. Illus.
