The Coins · I Ching · the oldest oracle

The Book of Changes, cast honestly.

The I Ching has been consulted for three thousand years, and its method matters: the hexagram must be built by real chance, line by line, or it isn't a casting at all. This house throws true-random coins — six throws, six lines, changing lines and all — and shows you the build as it happens. You can even throw your own coins at home and enter them.

How the house does it

I

The cast

Six coin-throws of cryptographic chance build your hexagram from the bottom up — old yin, young yin, young yang, old yang — with any changing lines transforming it into a second hexagram, as the tradition requires.

II

The reading

Lilith reads the judgment and the image from the Book of Changes, with the changing lines given their proper weight, and the second hexagram read as where the matter is heading.

III

Your own coins

Thrown at your own table? Enter your six lines by hand and the house reads the hexagram you cast yourself.

Plainly priced

The cast is free — hexagram named, lines shown. The full reading of judgment, image, changing lines and counsel is £7.

Asked often

How is the hexagram cast?

By six throws of three coins each — real cryptographic chance, never a script — built line by line from the bottom exactly as the tradition prescribes, changing lines included.

Can I use my own coins?

Yes. Throw three coins six times at your own table, enter each line, and the house reads your own cast from the Book of Changes.

What can I ask the I Ching?

The Changes answer best on situations in motion — a decision, a relationship shifting, a venture beginning. Ask one clear question; the reading is for insight and entertainment, and the deciding stays yours.
