The I Ching method is particularly interesting. It can be quite confusing at first and seem like a long process, but it is a lovely way of telling fortunes. You throw coins to create Hexagrams (pictured on the right) Each Hexagram has an answer.
The Method
To ask the I Ching a question, you need three coins. (These can be the Chinese I Ching coins or 1 pence coins) If you are using the the original I Ching coins you need to decide which side is heads and which is tails.
You throw the three coins six times while asking your question and add up the value of the coins and then depending on whether the total is odd or even depends on whether you draw a straight line.
Heads = 2
Tails = 3
Even Number = Broken Line
Odd Number = Solid line
After your first throw start your Hexagram from the bottom (6 lines down) then keep throwing until you have completed your Hexagram.
Once you have your Hexagram look for which one it is in a book of I Ching then you will have your answer.
Hope this method made sense i got confused myself a little just writing it!
