At the present moment, i can not use my credit card, i have a problem with my account...I can not buy the book now. please, if anyone could describe the method of yarrow stalks that is between pages 27 and 29, thank you very much.

The book is the Canon of the Supreme Mistery, or The Elemental Changes.

Hi,

From page 239 and on You'll probably get the most detailed explanation in THIS pdfdocument. The best will be to read the whole paper. Hope You can use it.

Hi svenrus,

I am talking about Tai Xuan Jing, your PDF is related with Yijing.

Even so, on page 240 of the PDF, there is a good description of the 49 yarrow stalks method, which is perfectly valid for the Yijing.

OK, I was a bit too quick. Don't know about Tai Xuan Jing - thought the manipulation of the stalks were common. Hope You find your way.

The web page, below, has a description of the yarrow stalk method for the tai xuan jing. I found it by doing a quick web search so I imagine you can do the same as well.

Hi Freedda,

I know this page. I found it too. This method is described by Walters, i am not sure if this method is completely correct.

I need to see the method in Nylan's book, to be sure I'm working with the right method.

Exist several misunderstandings and differences in several aspects, we need to be careful with them.

hi steel

You can find it in this article by Michael Nylan and Nathan Sivin pp. 24-27, but the whole article is worthwhile of reading ...
