Not the I Ching

This is the Spirit Token Oracle. As such, it's somewhat different from the I Ching and the "judgments" have a different flavor. To use it you're going to need 16 tokens for the Chinese Chess pieces used to consult the oracle. To construct a single judgment, all 16 tokens are shaken and then tossed onto a surface. Four of the tokens are marked TOP, four marked MIDDLE and four marked BOTTOM. The Constructed firgure depends on how many of each type of marker fall upright. The author does a wonderful job of including several standard Chinese experts for each judgment as well as his own translation of the meaning at the end. For those who depend on the moving lines of the I Ching, the Ling Ch'i Ching does not include moving lines. Nevertheless, the Ling Ch'i Ching is an accurate oracle.
