The Tiger and Dragon I Ching

by Rowena Pattee Kryder, M.F.A., Ph.D.

This book is easy to use. The first part gives many methods of the anceint Chinese Oracle, including how to ask questions, ways of finding the appropriate hexagram and methods of interpretation.

Part Two gives the sixty-four hexagrams with a specific reading different for a woman than for a man, from interpretations of the reversed hexagrams associated with the subtle energy channels up the back and down the front of the body. The book is illustrated with vivid black and white drawings of the Tiger and Dragon and elemental energies in relation to human states of being. Each hexagram hasan Image, Judgement, Moon cycle, Readings for a Man and Woman and specific lines of the hexagram.

Part Three consists of the author's Commentaries on how the "Golden Hexagrams" are derived, and how the system relates to moon cycles, binary codes and the circulation of ch'i (subtle energy) in men and women. In the Appendix is a lengthy article on the "Mapping of Leptons and Quarks on the I Ching."

"Next to the Wilhelm classic version of the I Ching, Rowena Kryder's book stands as an articulate and creative interpretation of the role of the hexagrams and the functions of the Tiger and Dragon metaphors in how to move through changes and transitions in a conscious way."

Angeles Arrien, cultural anthropologist and author of Fourfold Way, The Signs of Life, and Nine Muses.

 "As coherently scientific as it is originally artistic, for the thoughtful student of the I Ching Rowena Pattee Kryder's presentation will undaoubtedly become a well-worn reference. Tiger and Dragon I Ching is nothing less than a valuable guidebook for becoming the kind of complete person this planet requires in order to attain its fullness in the Golden Light of a present that has always been.

"Beginning with her presentations of the Golden Hexagrams and their derivations, Rowena weaves and amplifies upon a tapestry so rich in information and so penetrating in its application, that one can only come away from it realizing that here, indeed, is a distillation of the most genuine contemplative life experience."
