<h2>I Ching resources</h2>
<p>
There are a lot of resources on I Ching, as it is an ancient and
classic textbook and permeates the Eastern culture.
</p>
<p>For a starting point
check <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Ching">the wikipedia
article</a>.
</p>
<p>Quoting from Wikipedia:
<quote>
During the Warring States Period, the text was re-interpreted as a
system of cosmology and philosophy that subsequently became intrinsic
to Chinese culture. It centered on the ideas of the dynamic balance of
opposites, the evolution of events as a process, and acceptance of the
inevitability of change.

<p>The most important source of knowledge of I Ching in the Western
culture is the first and still more known and appreciated translation,
is the translation by Richard Wilhelm's from Chinese to German,
which was then translated to English by Cary F. Baynes. The book
reference for the interested book is:
<quote>
Richard Wilhelm's and Cary F. Baynes translation "I Ching: Or, Book of
Changes" [3rd. ed., Bollingen Series XIX, (Princeton NJ: Princeton
University Press, 1967, 1st ed. 1950)].

You can find a version of the
book <a href="http://www2.unipr.it/~deyoung/I_Ching_Wilhelm_Translation.html">here</a>.
</p>
<p>There are not many more translations available, another one which I
included in this website is due to the most famous occultist and
freak of all the times, Mister Alistair Crowley, which wrote a
translation tagged as "Liber 216" under the title of Master Therion,
which was the name which Crowley was using as O.T.O. minister.
I don't know if Crowley was able to translate the text or if he was
helped by others, that would be interesting to know.

<p>You can find an online version of the Crowley's translation
<a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/oto/lib216.htm">here</a>.
