Roll up, roll up, get your tickets here! (http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/gatherings/mp2-order.html)

Just a couple of weeks to go before Margaret Pearson's return visit. This one will be a bit more tightly focussed than the last, concentrating specifically on a few hexagrams with references to marriage and wives - 54 and 37, for two. Margaret will give us some historical/cultural background to the hexagrams, covering the different kinds of marriage at the time the book was written. I'll fill in some modern divinatory applications/implications of all this. (I'm gathering together a few examples of marriage imagery in non-relationship readings.) Lively discussion will no doubt ensue.
The basic idea is that the clearer and more specific we can get about the nuances of cultural meaning at the time, the clearer and more specific we can get in readings now. It's a matter of getting a good, solid foundation to build on, instead of a sort of gloopy mush of 'well, it's some kind of union...'
Last time around, Margaret surprised me with her willingness to help interpret someone's reading then and there, and it turned out that her approach and mine dovetailed nicely. So we'll do the same again this time, for a couple of attendees.
Just 20 seats in the room this time - 16 left as I post this.
