It seems to me that with the development of technology comes the increase of database usage. Most respectable companies count on a database and web-page for their marketing, financial, and all other business needs. Now, will the time come when all of us (in a future not too far from now) laugh at the original occult/esoteric books that gave us life...like we all laugh at eight-tracks while fiddling around with our mp3 players? Will that dreaded time come when we depend on algoriths instead of flipping coins and listening to the whispers of the winds against our ears? Is it around the corner? I understand that perhaps I need to know...just need to know...perhaps the day will come when I need to know...something...and I will find myself in front of a cyber-cafe and across the street will be a book store. What to do? Should I go for the I Ching online or should I get a hold of an original book? Would you, my revered brothers and sisters...say a these readings are the same...enough to base my heart upon them?

Good question!

Maybe if you can use cards or coins as tools to get your answers, the computer could be such a tool as well, but I think that no one can give the answer for you. If it is true, that the computer can be a toll just as the coins, then you have to chose from two ways with the same value. Both of them can be usefull, or useless, it depends on your personality, on your experiences etc.

I'm not so familiar with the tarot, so it happened that I used online readings and I found them mostly usefull, but I can't imagine using Online I Ching... it wouldn't be the same. For me the I Ching is like a personal master and using some online readings would kill that relationship.

So I vote for the original book.

Just silent gods

I found this online I Ching Oracle: http://www.mdani.demon.co.uk/para/iching1.htm

My vote still goes on the original book.
