### I Ching divination | ||
|
||
> I Ching divination is a form of cleromancy applied to the I Ching. | ||
> The text of the I Ching consists of sixty-four hexagrams: | ||
> six-line figures of yin (broken) or yang (solid) lines, | ||
> and commentaries on them. | ||
> There are two main methods of building up the lines of the hexagram, | ||
> using either 50 yarrow sticks or three coins. | ||
> Some of the lines may be designated "old" lines, | ||
> in which case the lines are subsequently changed | ||
> to create a second hexagram. The text relating to the hexagram(s) | ||
> and old lines (if any) is studied, and the meanings derived from | ||
> such study can be interpreted as an oracle. | ||

### The 3-coin method | ||
|
||
> To use the coin oracle, you must have three similar coins. | ||
> Heads are yang and have value 3. Tails are yin and have value 2. | ||
> Throw the coins six times and add up the numbers each time. | ||
> For each throw record the number and kind of line it refers to | ||
> (6 = transforming yin; 7 = stable yang; 8 = stable yin; 9 = transforming yang). | ||
> Form your hexagram from the bottom up, then use the key to the hexagrams ... | ||
> to determine its number and name. | ||
