The Apocrypha · 易經
Three thousand years before the binary code that runs this page, China wrote an oracle in broken and unbroken lines. Bring a question. Throw the coins.
Six throws. The lines build from the ground up.
易 · today
One of the sixty-four, the same for everyone, until midnight turns it. A small daily reading of the moment.
Drawing the day…
易 · the oracle
Not a cast — a search. Put a question in words and the Book answers with the hexagrams whose own lines speak closest to it. Real text, cited, never paraphrased.
易 · the book
Every possible six-line figure — the complete set of changes. Tap any to read it.
易 · plainly
The I Ching does not predict and it does not command. It is a mirror with sixty-four faces. You bring a real question; the coins fall; and the Book shows you the shape of the moment you are standing in — and the line, already changing, that will carry it somewhere else.
It does not tell you what to do. It shows you where you stand — and that you are already moving.Every word you read here is the real 1899 translation by James Legge. A contemplative instrument — not a fortune, not advice, not a diagnosis.
And you —
The hexagram is only half of it. The question you carried in is the other half. Tell us what you're sitting with — the ones that move us, we follow.
