Hello Topal,
I bought this book in september 2003, the first 2 years I used it quit a lot, it gave me some interesting new insights, like the interconnections and transformations. The Myth stories and The Shaman speaks stories.
I have several books of Stephan Karcher and this one I use the most often.
Also the new kind of language he is using. it's like you see a new aspect of the hexagrams.
He is using the ancient characters of LiSe, and also the text she wrote. So the basis is for a great part of LiSe.
Now I use it when I want to study a hexagram from severall perpectives. Because he has such a different look I usually look to the Total I Ching as one of severall translations .
But it's not my first choice, I guess it's my fifth choice.
It is sometimes my first choise when I'm in a mood that I want to have an answer from someting like a "sprit", a voice from an ancient time.
When I buy a new I Ching book I always throw a hexagram with the question. What will this I Ching translation bring me?, this one gave me 45 - 5th line changing in 16.
from the Total I Ching of Karcher: 45 "Gathering Them/Great Works - to gather, assemble, bunch together to collect.
5th line; Gathering Them in ranks. Great Works.
This is not a mistake. You do not need to offer victims.
Trial: an ever-flowing source.
The cause of sorrow disapears.
You have a position in this gathering, a long term source of energy and inspiration.
Topal Good luck with this new book, mayby you can tell me what it is bringing you after using it some time.

I've found a number of his books repeat earlier ones - even though they have different titles they are still the same book, seem more like revised editions. I was a little disapointed when i bought Myths for Change that it was so similar to The elements of the I Ching - so if you check out other books I would see how different they are to what you have before actually buying them
Topal, in case you haven't already read Jung's Man and His Symbols, it's a very interesting classic, which I've found to be helpful in decoding my dreams.
