What is the best resource for I Ching?
I first became interested in the I Ching thanks to the TV series Dark Shadows. and yes, I know that the use they put it to has no bearing on the real Book Of Changes. Over time I drifted away from all things esoteric, but after a number of other changes I have made in my life, I have recently begun to re-immerse myself in several areas, including the I Ching. I've got three resources so far for the Book Of Changes. The Wilhelm/Baynes translation, a translation by Stephen Karcher, and a set of cards by Barbara Walker caled I Ching of the Goddess. Hey I am a girl and I see everything from a somewhat femininist POV
Book of Changes
My favorite is The I Ching (Book of Changes) by Aleister Crowley. It is written from back to front (IE: Oriental & Semitic traditions), hexagrams are read from bottom to top. Published by Level Press, San Francisco. I found it in the mid 70's.
Also like Blofeld's edition, instructive and proper attitude, you can almost feel him growing spiritually as he progresses.

The I Ching Oracle Deck by Osho comes with a book that is pretty handy as well as beautiful images. I find it seems to have more of a learning curve. I would recommend finding any standard I Ching book first. I have a book that's just called "The I Ching" that was bought for me at a thrift store for only a couple dollars. I use it all the time.
