ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for successively determining each line of a trigram or hexagram used in consulting the I-Ching. Indistinguishable magnets, preferably bar magnets, are selected at random and brought into proximity, allowing the magnetic poles of the magnets, so juxtaposed, to exhibit attraction or repulsion. States of the lines of the trigram or hexagram as broken or unbroken are assigned to each observed magnetic interaction. The lines so determined are visually displayed as a group to form the I-Ching hexagram.
