As legend has it, the I Ching originated more than 4,000 years ago when the first emperor of China devised a system of divination based on the opposing natural forces inherent in creation. This system was refined over time by other sages and scholars until it formed the venerable and complex I Ching or 'Book of Changes'. In this book you will find what you need to call upon the wisdom of this ancient oracle. Contemporary interpretations of the trigrams provide spiritual guidance and line-by-line readings of all 64 hexagrams give added nuance to your consultation.
The runes were a sacred writing system used throughout the Germanic tribes of northern Europe to gain knowledge and wisdom. Shaman-like tribespeople evolved a complex and deep spiritual tradition of which the runes were an essential part, and these runemasters were held in high esteem. Here, modern-day seekers of wisdom are presented with a comprehensive guide to the runic alphabet and its symbolic meanings. Discover how to make, cleanse and empower your own rune set. Learn how to consult and then interpret the runes and use sample readings to fine-tune your rune-readings for yourself and others.
