Results for "yarrow stalk divination"

Quick answer

How does Mai Hoa Dịch Số differ from yarrow stalk divination or coin tossing?

The fundamental difference is that Mai Hoa Dịch Số uses no divination objects. The person casting the hexagram takes numbers from observable surroundings: the moment, the number of objects, the number of sounds, the number of strokes in characters. The numbers are then divided into the upper trigram, the lower trigram and the moving line, and the reading proceeds from the five-phase relationship between thể and dụng. Methods such as yarrow stalk divination or coin tossing require physical operations to generate a hexagram at random.
