I Ching Community membership

This is the heart of the site: welcoming, active forums where you can share I Ching readings, explore hexagram meanings, and discuss anything to do with divination. There are new readings posted and updated every day: you can learn from these, offer insights if you can, and also get help with your own readings. (Questions range from ‘What is synchronicity?’ to ‘What if I buy this new car?’)

The Community was founded in 2001, and its archives are a treasure trove of I Ching experiences and insights. As a member, you can easily search through them all – and make your own contributions.

Also included in your membership:

Members’ voices


Clarity’s the best online I Ching community resource in the world. For the purposes of learning, help and support, and belonging, there’s nothing like it. Thumbs up.”

I like to belong to this forum because I find real stories of people and life, of their entanglements, doubts, events, decisions, that are not so far from what can happen to me. And that makes you connect and feel that you can come back, whenever you need to. This meeting place to understand and learn the oracle is good, it is valuable for me. All the members bring their experiences and ideas so that in the end it is like a big library in which to internalise many good concepts. I think it’s worth to become a member of this forum, even when you think you know everything, new questions are always coming…”

Clarity weaves a grand tapestry of human connections. There’s a lot of experience with the Yi Jing in this remarkable community. It’s a great site for learning about the Book of Changes, because there’s a ton of resources that make this ancient Chinese classic more accessible. And the intimate sincerity of people from all over the world offers a broad array of personal reckonings, urgent reflections, humor and wisdom that can help us find our own humanity among the endless ways in which we are changed by luck, loss, and love.”

I was so grateful and so impressed when I discovered the onlineClarity forum. Truly like finding a well in the desert. For decades my previous encounters with various translations were somewhat dusty and often more puzzling than helpful at the time. The free forum itself was astonishing – with kind and experienced responses to my hexagram questions from Hilary and others. I did join Change Circle as a paid resource – though there is such a generosity in the free resource that it can keep you well nourished indefinitely – dive in!”

I love that in the forum there are so many different voices and real-life examples for the readings and how to unfold them. Clarity has become like a friend, or friends, I have occasional cups of tea with to talk something over. Sometimes it’s difficult situations or new ventures, sometimes it’s musings, and the readings and discussions don’t always tell you what you’d like to hear. That’s what makes Hilary’s book and this website and forum so precious – it’s real, and for me, immensely, sometimes uncannily, helpful.”

Jumpingship


CLARITY…… I can think of many key words like a library, a resource, an ‘Oxford Dictionary’ for the Yi Jing, a modern concept of the Yi Jing representing the Zeitgeist etc. But the best reason for me is to have a place to go when there is nowhere else to go, when questions can no longer be answered through the usual ways. A place where it is safe to ask. A place where the Clarity community takes me to gently understand and interpret the answers the Yi Jing provides. It is simply good to know that the Clarity community is there and that I am not alone in times of a trouble.”
