I Ching: Walking your path, creating your future (paperback), Oct 15 2010

This review is from: I Ching: Walking Your Path, Creating Your Future (Paperback)
Let me begin by saying that I have known Hilary Barrett for going on eight years now, and this review will be slightly prejudiced in her favor; Not because I know she'll read the review but because her reputation precedes her publication. The book itself is an excellent quality book and gives the I Ching (Yijing) student a wonderful insight into the machinations of this ancient oracle.What impressed me, was Hilary's ability to put into everyday English what Scholars from Ancient China and throughout time all over the world have debated and published and re-published for most of the History of Mankind. The 'Yi' is considered by most to be one of the oldest written 'anything' in the world. Surviving massive book burnings, political upheavals and just time itself, Ms. Barrett, like the original, has kept it short and to the point without compromising philosophical integrity, or mystical insight. In this day and age of mass media and marketing it's a pleasure to know that some still have the ability to convey to the reader the beauty of the work. I am sure the (In)spiration for much of her work was none other that the message of the work itself "talking to her' and for this I am grateful that one more generation may have the ability to understand that magical world of Oracles and the I Ching that have guided ordinary people and Emperors alike throughout the ages.

Practical mysticism, Mar 5 2012
By bookreviewer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: I Ching: Walking Your Path, Creating Your Future (Paperback)
Hilary's interpretations are eloquent and quietly written, as though the author must have gathered the words together on cold winter nights by a fire. The I Ching can be obscure but with her wisdom and, no doubt, rich experience, this book turns the mystical into the practical. The most helpful feature for me when casting my own readings is the two or three questions she has put in reference to each section. A great book for everyone and a must have for I Ching enthusiasts.

I Ching- For Any Level of Practitioner, Oct 27 2011

This review is from: I Ching: Walking Your Path, Creating Your Future (Paperback)
Not being a writer, it will be difficult to do this book proper justice; but here goes...."I Ching; Walking Your Path, Creating Your Future" is easy to use and is full of wisdom, virtue and insight. If one is a beginner to the Oracle, you need this book. If you have already spent a few years communing with the I Ching, you really need this book to round out your understanding.
This book is well organized and both sensible and comprehensible (something that can't be said about many of the interpretations of "I Ching"). The Introduction starts with "What Is the I Ching"; showing the basic structure and definitions of lines, trigrams and hexagrams and then continues with a straightforward approach to consulting the Oracle. Each Hexagram (chapter) is introduced with perceptive "Key Questions", In the "Oracle", classic imagery is followed by lucid commentary. The chapter continues with "Image"; a kind of contemplative impression of the Hexagram, followed by "Sequence" which shows the connection to the preceding Hexagram and its place in the procession of Hexagrams. Finally comes the "Changing Lines" with a wonderfully clear discussion on the "heart" of each Line. If this seems confusing to the Beginner, it won't be when you open the book.
All this talk of "lucid" and "clear" and "insight" reminds me that the author, Hilary Barrett, has an I Ching website, "www.onlineclarity.co.uk", that is more than worth the time to check out. I've been an inspired follower of this website and Hilary Barrett for several years and have been eagerly awaiting this book. It's been well worth the wait.
