An I Ching Reading with Fred Hatt | The Lex Files

Often translated into English as the Book of Changes, the I Ching has been used to guide and inform decisions for millennia in China and around the world. The method uses random sets of numbers turned into hexagrams to determine a correlating reading meant to offer insight into moral dilemmas. This week’s guest Fred Hatt traces the history of the I Ching, beginning with its roots in ancient China, before casting a reading and analyzing the results to reveal the true experience of tapping into the I Ching for direction when navigating the course of your life.
