Reading the I Ching

Cast three coins six times to find a thread for what's on your mind

The I Ching builds a hexagram with the traditional three-coin method. Write one question and cast three coins six times, and the lines stack from the bottom up to complete the hexagram. It's available after you sign in and costs 30C each time.
