Total I Ching: Myths for Change by Stephen Karcher offers a fresh and comprehensive interpretation of the world’s oldest and most influential divinatory text, the I Ching. This groundbreaking work bridges the gap between two historical interpretations—the Confucian tradition and the older, mythic Zhouyi version. Drawing on modern archaeological findings, linguistic studies, and Eastern philosophy, Karcher presents an edition that is both practical for personal guidance and deeply rooted in ancient myth and ritual.
Unlike previous translations, Total I Ching: Myths for Change not only provides clear instructions for consulting the oracle in everyday situations but also uncovers the rich mythology and symbolism underlying each hexagram. This version invites readers to engage with the I Ching not just as a book of wisdom, but as a living system of transformative myths designed to help navigate change and uncertainty.
Ideal for both newcomers and experienced practitioners of Eastern philosophy, this edition is an insightful companion for anyone seeking personal growth, clarity in decision-making, and a deeper connection to one of humanity’s oldest spiritual traditions.
