Interpretation of I Ching Hexagrams

[@alexfan7454]

Got your book, "The Tao of Craft"! Your research, understanding, perspective and explanations are on the level of scholars. I appreciate and thank you for the hard work and bridging the understanding of Easter Esoterica to western speakers. Looking forward to your upcoming book and videos! Happy New Year!

[@hunni2968]

I am happy to see you talking about the I Ching again

[@taca.dakini]

the best video series on I Ching 🌟

[@JJ-po1qk]

Every time I rewatch your videos that I’ve already watched I learn something new. Thank you so much

[@jasonperkins1180]

I really enjoy your content Benebell, please keep up the good work.

[@independent4570]

I love your videos! There is so much information I often have to rewind and listen a few times. Thanks for all of the Taoist history you share. I’m in a graduate program for acupuncture and East Asian medicine and your videos have been invaluable. I would love to see you cover some of the more esoteric aspects of classical Chinese medicine

[@shinobu19]

[@swan6290]

Thank you! For all your work. I have more than enjoyed your insight. As a practicing (and old timey!) Western traditional witch I have found through you connecting information that have been missing from my concepts. As a young white American man that found a home in the esoteric and occult practices, I found in the Tao de Jing - as much as I could understand it - a unifying divine view that I have held to my heart throughout my adult life. Western esotericism followed for decades with coven and personal practice and gnosis, but I don't know Taoism and my environment did not offer good soil. Your work does, though. Thank you. You are more than a little inspiring for me in my craft.

[@BenebellWen]

That means so much to me. Thank you!

[@InternetSumerian-le6rp]

Me too and I'm always learning about esoteric topics and religions. The I ching is the most intelligent thing a person can study in the field of mysticism in my opinion.

[@darrenleong315]

I bought your book: I-Ching The Orale. It's underpriced! The amount of effort you've put into it is amazing!

[@theDaughterOfDawn]

Your book came today!!! Thanks for all your hard work. Love your content.

[@Mr.PauloSica]

love your videos!!!

[@kityac9810]

This was a great presentation. While I can read tarot and runes, I've found that I resonated far more with the I-Ching. The only version of it that I've ever owned (and currently have) is the one by Wilhelm/Baynes. I'm looking forward to your upcoming release! Also, I loved your walkthrough with the yarrow stalks. Although I use coins, I had always wanted to learn that method. But trying to find a clear explanation of it was an unexpected challenge. So, I really appreciated the time and effort you put into making that content as clear as possible.

[@BenebellWen]

Thank you so much! Learning and finally becoming really fluent with runes has been on my bucket list for a long time now. 😂

[@cutefunnypets3164]

definitely the best videos on youtube related to I Ching divination, keep up the good work!💙💓💓 Liked and subscribed immediately:)

[@Beowulf-bd6ne]

I love all of your videos and your book. Thanks

[@anthroposophicalimagination]

Over the last two years I have been cultivating a yarrow plant in my front garden. This summer it finally was big enough for me to harvest and make 61, 8 inch sticks. So I now have 50 sticks for reading and 11 spares. I have a few I Ching English translations but just ordered your book! Thank you for your excellent scholarship and research. I cannot wait to read your book to learn rice grain divination and I might even learn Lunar blocks too!

[@bosstuna8115]

Thanks for the video, I've just started studying!

[@InternetSumerian-le6rp]

You should watch her Luo Shu square videos first as an introduction, that explains Ba Gua, then watch videos about the 8 trigrams. This is difficult to understand because most people don't speak Chinese, but it is better to start with Luo Shu and work your way up.

[@durbo7646]

New here.... glad I made it!

[@user-pw9bh8vw4t]

It is unmistakable that your question relates to your success in this online project here, Benebell. Clearly, growth of your following (Burgeoning) depends on your reciprocal sharing of your knowledge (Inspiring Followers) to attract interest in sales for your book leading to a mutual replication and cycle of prosperity. I wish you great luck in your success and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@harmoncardon]

[@sandy56600]

Thank you so much I am new to your channel and love your teachings. I listen to them while I am at work. I love your voice, you make it easy to listen. I have now purchased 2 of your books. Again thank you so much!

[@fishinginspace]

Very insightful, thank you! I will be checking out more of your work! The hexagrams can be used to read human faces and emotions. Each line corresponds with a feature, the top two lines are the eyebrows, the middle two is the eyes and the bottom two are the mouth. There are four different emotional types to each feature, the combination gives you a hexagram. Meaning the IChing contains all the emotions of the human face, including how it changes. Every facial expression is contained through the logic system of the Iching. You can further interpret what a person’s emotions mean through the characterization of that hexagram. Basically the human face mimics emotions, those emotions can be equated to the logic system in the iching. I didn’t discover this, but I did learn how to use it. Sorry this probably doesn’t make sense and its hard to explain without visuals! Learning the Iching is a lifelong process and I wanted to share what I know since you are sharing what you know, since the better I learn the Iching, the better i can read faces and psychoanalyze people

[@daniyyel1317]

[@pavelrem]

You are amazing, Ms Wen. I listened to one of your videos and went and bought you I Ching book. Can't wait for it to arrive. Now I am sure you already know that you are amazing but let me tell you how by telling you how amazing I am heheh. I studied philosophy in university before I did a Dr. Tcm program and have been practicing martial arts for over 20 years now while studding chi gong and nei gong and reading on buddhism and daoism and collecting ancient texts as a hobby. I have no shortage of books, I can hardly keep up as it is and yet I am afraid this was one of the most comprehensive exposes that I have listened to. it was a different video of yours i watched and i am about to watch this one but thought i'd comment first. Now there has been times when I thought oh now i am really starting to get it but listening to your explanation gave me a new insight I was entirely oblivions to. impossible! - the arrogant side of me is delighted. what a dream it is that there is someone like you out there who is working so hard while maintaining grace and lithe. thank you so much for your contribution. I live in Vancouver. Where do you live? I don't expect you'd answer that. There is quite a few videos you have made im happy like a kid in a candy store and cannot wait to read possibly everything you've published. thank you very much once again (ive never gone and bought someone's book after watching one video i don't think :) there is a first for everything)

[@itwastheegg]

Keep watching. I think runes or tarot cards are nothing special compared to the I ching.

[@unikadas]

@@InternetSumerian-le6rp I've had impressive experiences with tarot and i ching, but nothing special from runes for me yet. Still I try to pay attention to it all; there's just so much!

[@InternetSumerian-le6rp]

​@@unikadasthere are very good videos about confucianism on the Religionforbreakfast KZbin channel. Confucianism is known for archiving I ching. Also 2x2x2=8 trigrams 2x2x2x2x2x2 = 64 something I learned. Always thought 8x8 in a grid was interesting...same layout as a chessboard and is used in programming hence 64 bit programming and Nintendo 64

[@fivesight999]

Hi Benebell, I love your work! You're the first person to explain how to work the He Tu into my studies (my first teachers were Shao Yong fans, and I haven't found anything about the He Tu in the few scant resources I have on his work) - I really appreciate it! This was one of many of your video classes that I keep on tap to rewind and watch again and again.

[@quasimandias]

Fascinating. I am 30 year practioner of the I Ching, self taught through the Wilhelm translation, and the impression I had arrived at was more along the lines as the text was a tool of navigation rather than divination, something one might use as a compass or a barometer- obviously the compass symbolism is strong and mirrors other imagery from other cultures. I find in particularly useful in this context but many of these others seem to really miss the point.

[@stephaniesummerill7117]

I'm trying to pick my jaw up off of the floor. I reckon I shouldn't have started here, at bedtime, without ever really looking at the I Ching before. Hehe. While your level of knowledge on the subject (irregardless of mine) baffles me, I am intrigued and was somehow able to follow along with the visuals and audio..It looked like the answers to everything anyone ever wanted to know. Is this akin to the Akashic Record? I will be following you much more seriously after I've had some rest. I'm so excited to resonate and understand almost immediately with your nurturing supportive guidance. Thank you so much for all of this energy and wisdom that you've shared here. I can't wait to get the book!

I would like to know from the teacher if by reading I Ching as an oracle I can find answers about Spells, Witchcraft, Santeria or Magic works done against me or others. Can I Ching answer about these subjects and point the problem? Here in Brazil that kind of situation (magic work) is common to happen...

Thank you for your work. I've appreciated it for a long time but was pinged last year to finally dig into Chinese spirituality and magic thanks to a student of yours doing a reading for me that pinged towards deepening relationships to Xiwangmu and Jiutian Xuannu. I was sad that your old course was no longer on offer, but this material is now rolling out in parallel with my developing practices, so I want to thank you deeply for making so much of it available for free!

[@BenebellWen]

If one is using the I Ching then active magical practice, perhaps. In the specific case of the video I was just recycling the image slide from the previous video. 😂 And the previous video did talk about the sigil formations. This is just me trying to get extra mileage out of my graphic design assets. 😂😁

[@brunotavares342]

Currently still using Richard Wilhelm translation (will use yours for sure). Previously used the Alfred Huang for some time, but started to lose a bit of interest. Curious to know if you have any takes on each of them. Much love.

[@8polyglot]

I picked up a copy of your book on I Ching today and my husband is Korean from Korea and I asked him about how this is used (or not) and thought of in Korea. He said well we have used that traditionally at times sometimes adopted by Korean shamans, but many young people view it nowadays as “old fashioned” and a philosophical text necessary so not really beneficial for people in modern times. He said his grandfather used I Ching in his work in energy consultation (kind of like feung shui) in Joseon Dynasty Korea. I think younger ppl in Korea have this view of it. It is still used sometimes by “fake” shamans my husband said, so maybe it has that dual off-putting stigma of old fashioned and fakeness?
