Welcome back, Maverickcc. Hope your exam went well. If circumstances permit, please tell us more about the Takashima Ekidan. The book is in English but rare, and so far no one has been able to see it.

Didn't Takashima consult the Yi Jing using yarrow? And isn't his approach the standard Confucian approach as given in Wilhelm?

Dear Pocessin:

I will use the Takashima Ekidan as an important reference, but not to explain it in details because it really takes time.

To be honest, we do not know what kind of method did Takashima use in his book. For me yarrow is a complicate method described in the text book that I learnt it yet never used it.(Actually I even did not use coins so far but I always prepare it) In my opinion, you can use any method to achieve the final result. In a single restaurant, no one order the same meal or used the same manner to eat, they only obey the basic rule to order the food and pay for it. No matter by cash, check or credit card.

I have not read the Wilhelm, so I do not know what do you mean by the standard approach. But, for an extreme example, I know some one in China use only computer program to make divination. The questions are related to football lottery and he can achieve over 70% accuracy. (only win/lose)

So just open your mind and enjoy it. :D

For my exam, thank you for your concern. For some reason, I have not finished it since. I should still prepare lots of things for the new semester, and will not spend much time here recently.

Best wishes.

Yours sincerely, Maverickcc
