I Ching of the Goddess

Barbara Walker's second deck in this catalog leaves tarot's structure for the I Ching's: sixty-four cards for the sixty-four hexagrams, the Chinese classic reread through her goddess scholarship, feminine spirituality restored to a text whose commentarial tradition ran patriarchal for millennia. It is the same revisionist method her Secrets of the Tarot deck applies, pointed at a different canon, and Walker's mythographic depth keeps the revision argued rather than asserted. Card-form I Ching is itself a useful translation, hexagram-drawing without coins or stalks, and Walker's goddess frame gives each hexagram a mythological portrait alongside its counsel. Fairwinds's edition keeps the set in circulation. It suits Walker's readership following her across canons, I Ching students curious about feminist commentary, goddess-tradition readers who want the Chinese classic accessible, and comparative-divination collectors bridging the catalog's shelves. The Wilhelm-faithful have their yarrow stalks; Walker, as usual, has questions for the commentators.
