The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is one of the oldest and most respected works of Chinese philosophy, and influenced Eastern philosophy for millenia. The I Ching was composed more than three thousand years ago, by an ancient Chinese shaman, and used for the purposes of divination.
Traditionally, three coins were used to derive the yin/yang (heads/tails) reading of the I Ching. The ancient coin that is this TB was one of three magically imbued coins used by the great immortal Lao Tzu.
Since the great Daoist philosopher’s passing, the coins became separated. It is now said that should they ever be reunited, then the bearer will yield great power, but will also presage the End of the World.
It is up to you, wise geocacher, if you seek to reunite these coins – on your own head be it!
The I Ching or Book of Changes is an oracle or divination device, as well as a book of wisdom based on the principle of change. It utilizes symbols comprised of six broken and/or unbroken parallel lines known as hexagrams. Each hexagram has its own unique meaning.
These readings can be used for insight into whatever question that is before you.
The I Ching uses a set of symbols that represent the process of change. The basic symbol is a horizontal line. A line can be unbroken (a Yang line) or broken (a Yin line). A trigram is made up of three lines. As there are eight possible combinations, there are eight trigrams.
When two trigrams are placed one on top of another, it becomes a hexagram. With six lines there are 64 possible combinations, and therefore 64 hexagrams which make up the I Ching.
