Neophyte Posts: 28 Age: N/A Gender: Male Reputation: none	Have joined an eseoteric (sp?) study group who encourage students to throw out their Tarot cards and start to understand the Yi-Ching, talking about Oracles over divinators, fortune tellers and what not and it surprised me. I mean if you were to go to someone who uses the tarot to give you a reading and then go to someone who uses the Yi-Ching which would give the best results? Can see that the Yi-Ching has a more established background prehaps being 6000 years old but what do you think...? HTP Dk

Each of these have been developed to speak in cooperation with different parts of the psyche and the collective spiritual spectrum. One is more analytic leading to intuitive abstraction. The other is more intuitive, encouraging refinement and an analytic distillation. I could only guess that the one's that best is the one that you get the most accurate or informative responses from. Its like asking which is best, cosidering undesirable aspects of your psyche as destructively repressed experiences or as "bad" spirits. If you can answer that, and that answer is applicable for anyone else, you may already be the winner of a Noble Peace Prize. Sorry, no help here.
