- Only one username at a time per person! This is essential to the climate of trust and real personal connection we create in the I Ching Commmunity. (But if you're already a member and want a change of username, that's fine - just create a new account here and let me know to delete the old one.)
I Ching Community membership
This is the heart of the site: welcoming, active forums where you can share I Ching readings, explore hexagram meanings, and discuss anything to do with divination. There are new readings posted and updated every day: you can learn from these, offer insights if you can, and also get help with your own readings. (Questions range from 'What is wisdom?' to 'What if I buy this new car?')
Getting started
You cannot be too much of a beginner to become a Friend. The 'getting started' section of the members' area assumes zero prior knowledge, and includes:
- Free I Ching course ebook to download (takes you step by step, starting from scratch, to your first I Ching reading)
- An anthology of articles for beginners, covering all the 'frequently asked questions'
- Directory of diviners. Want to talk to an I Ching diviner face to face? Check here to see if there's one near you.
Going deeper
Not a beginner? There are good things here for you, too, to help refresh and deepen your relationship with the I Ching. You can download
- Opening questions: 27 ways to invite change into your life
- 7 ways to live a reading
Free samples and excerpts
Good-sized extracts from Clarity's paid products. At the time of writing, you'll find audio excerpts from the advanced I Ching course, and a complete section on 'Crossing the Great River' excerpted from the 'Journey Imagery' presentation. Whenever I have a new product for sale, you'll be able to sample it here.
Extras
At Christmas, I've been known put together an anthology of some of the better articles I've published over the years, and offer it to subscribers as a gift. Here are all those anthologies - a permanent Christmas, but without the pine needles in the carpet. 
To recap - you get:
- I Ching Community membership
- 'Friends' Notes' news and updates
- Beginners step-by-step course
- ...And a small library of I Ching explorations
And this costs you nothing. No fuss, no credit cards, just choose your username (this'll be your username on the forum, too) and click 'join' to get started.
