Yarrow was traditionally used for casting oracles with the help of the I Ching, otherwise known as the Book of Changes. 50 stalks are used, one is put aside and the rest are counted and sorted six times, building up the hexagram. Yarrow has been connected with spirituality and receptivity for thousands of years in many traditions.

The yarrow stalks contained in these handmade oracle pouches grew wild in the Catskills of New York. They were harvested with respect and care not to deplete the environment, as a result I have a limited supply each year.

The pouches containing the stalks are handmade from material from thrift shops.

The pouches are about 7" long and 2" wide.

Instructions on how to count the yarrow stalks are posted at www.helladelicious.com.

Note: The I Ching (Book of Changes) is not included.

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:

I have been using the I Ching since 1999 with by using the coin method and have always wanted to try to figure out how to use the traditional yarrow stalks. I finally had the opportunity to do this when living in the wilds of upstate New York, it is a wonderful way to read the oracle and I would just like to share this opportunity with anyone who would like to follow the traditional method of divination.
