A feminist interpretation of the I Ching which explores its roots in the pre-patriachal world of ancient China, where women were healers and practitioners of magic and divination. The author reclaims the feminine yin content of one of the world's most ancient written works and removes all the oppressive language and imagery. As well as the 64 hexagrams, which Stein interprets as meditiations, or koans, there are correspondences drawn between the I Ching and the Tarot, the Wiccan calender, the Hopi road of life and the Zodiac.
