The Gnostic Book of Changes

studies in crypto-teleological solipsism

A symbolic key to the I Ching based upon the insights of analytical psychology and the Western mystery tradition, compiled by James DeKorne. Each hexagram gathers nine translations side by side — Legge, Wilhelm/Baynes, Blofeld, Liu, Ritsema/Karcher, Shaughnessy, Cleary and Wu — with DeKorne's commentary and paraphrases.
