Thank you for putting this video together, I love using the stalks. I feel deeper connected with the ritual stalks versus coin tossing. Really appreciate you bringing the deeper meaning and esoteric practice.
thank you!!!
I appreciate this detailed explanation. I just ordered your I Ching and Tao of craft book. I will be ordering the Tarot book for my daughter. You are a treasure to the Taoist community. Thanks you 🙏☯️☸️
Wow, hail priestess of the Yarrow stalks!
By framing it as what it is; ritual, you completely blow the dust off all the little steps required in the ancient process~ I can absolutely see you holding the light and dark of the Tao in your hands. So wonderful, so powerful, so alive.
I posted an earlier comment but wanted to add that I appreciate the quality of the production. It takes alot of work to put together a high quality video, really enjoying this series. ☯️ ☯️ ☯️ Thanks Benebell. If hubby is helping with production Thanks to him as well.
Thank you! Haha nope I am doing all of this by myself with webcams, PowerPoint slides, and MovieMaker (...and knowing that I'm still using MovieMaker gives you an idea of how old my desktop computer is).
@@BenebellWen you are rocking the production 🙌 😎 👏 👌
Thank you for this! I read something about this in your book, I Ching The Oracle, but I had a hard time understanding what to do from the verbal description. You are so generous with sharing everything!
I thought the written version might be a little hard to follow! 😅 That in large part motivated me to make this video series! ☺️
I've only ever used the coins method, and have always been curious about the yarrow stalks. I've also only ever used the I-Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing that my grandmother gave me when I was a kid for interpretation. That combo has provided an incredible amount of insight over the years. Your book will be my first swim into the deeper waters of I-Ching... I'm excited to dive in!
Thanks for these videos u r awesome
Fantastic tutorial !!! Thank You for your GENEROSITY !!! I just received your book and used it for interpreting the hexagrams I received in this online tutorial reading. I was amazed at the specific accuracy when I looked up my Hexagrams in your book. Incredibly insightful -- not only about the question I posed, but also about my character.
Wonderful tutorial! Watched it but a bit overwhelmed. Bought my sticks and watched it again while doing the work and it made itself clear.
Superior quality. Thanks. : )
Wow. What an amazing video! Your explanation is really good. Thank you for this 😊
thank you for your generosity
Thanks!
Great instructional video! The process certainly requires a lot of patience.
You’re a star. Can’t wait to get my hands on that book. Thank you
❤❤❤❤
I've only used coins and lately dice from a set I borrowed, want to try the sticks sometime.
❤
Hi! I'm quite curious about the table for the sums that translate to the resulting lines in the yarrow stalk method versus the coin method. While other creators on RUclips seem to follow the same sequence of the yarrow stalk with the coin method, however in your book indicates that the number 7 represents a Fixed (Unchanging) Yin Line, and 8 represents a Fixed (Unchanging) Yang Line. Honestly the coin toss reference table (7-4) made more sense seeing as all tails would be Yin, so 2 of 3 tails, would probably mean Yin as well. Could you clarify this difference? Thank you!
I like the coin method better than this because it seems like You can choose to grab a unbalanced proportion of sticks IE "cheat" to obtain an oracle You want. But I suppose You can do that (cheat) with the I Ching in any situation which is just another point of wisdom the I Ching makes.
I have been conducting divinations with the I Ching for decades, and not once have I used incense or a lit candle. Accuracy alone is my only consideration. Yarrow stalks give you skewed divinations. You will get better divinations with methods that are not skewed. The coin method gives you divinations that are not skewed. When you divine with playing cards or tarot cards, you have an equal chance of dealing out every card. The mathematical odds are even for all the cards in the deck. Not so with yarrow stalks. For example, there are 5 chances in 16 of having a yang line. But there are 7 chances in 16 of there being a yin line. And there is 1 chance in 16 of their being a yin moving line, but there are 3 chances in 16 of there being a yang moving line. The probabilities are skewed, and so you get skewed readings with yarrow stalks. But with coins, there are 3 chances in 8 of having either a yin or yang line. Etc. If you were more familiar with English-language books about the I Ching, you would know that. From my perspective, you seem not to have done your homework.
Aww this brings me back to your old I Ching course (?) in which you learned casting Hexagrams with Yarrow Stalks.... was it a course? A workshop? Don't remember, but I still have the yarrow stalks I ordered out of the UK. I'll try this!
Yes! That course covered yarrow stalk divination, rice grains, and coin toss. 💕 Thank you so much for your support over the years! It means so much to me.
@@BenebellWen Always! Still debating over getting the new STK edition.... my first edition is still one of my faves and is the most direct and accurate deck I own. Very special and the quality is just chefs kiss. How long can you order the newest edition? It's still a pretty big investment for me, so I need to plan in advance!
@@MrKitharo Oh no worries at all-- I am hoping that those with SKT Rev 1 won't feel any pressure to get SKT Rev 2... the second printing is essentially the same as the first, just giving those who didn't get a chance to buy the first to get their own copy.
@@BenebellWen ah I don't have any colored version at all, I still use the old, outspoken and mysterious first first black and white STK :-) that is why I'm considered the Revelation edition because your art looks so stunning and if the STK REV is anything like my dear old STK 1, then I probably want it. March is good to know, so maybe I can gather some money to gift myself this one 😀
