Discover my photographs in a new light with this Yi Jing of Animals, inspired by the ancient Chinese book. This method of divination draws on the wisdom of totem animals to offer guidance and answers to your spiritual and existential questions. It also extends my earlier test designed to help you uncover your own totem animal.
Just as the Book of Changes (Yi) uses hexagrams as a divinatory art, this oracle associates figures based on totem animals with symbolic and spiritual responses. By taking inspiration from the draw to query the I Ching and by adapting the binary calculation associated with Yin (even numbers) and Yang (odd numbers) to contemporary coding, my esoteric algorithm offers a modern and intuitive way to access wisdom ancient of this oracle.
“Performing a magical act provides the individual a sense of security that can be conducive to making a decision.” – C. G. Jung
The psychologist Carl Gustav Jung drew on the I Ching, linking its hexagrams to archetypes and relating the practice of consulting them to his concept of synchronicity. In a similar spirit, my own approach associates the hexagrams with totem animals, illustrated through my photographs, as a way of building a bridge between the ancient wisdom of the “Book of Changes” and the rich symbolism of the animal world.
Just as each hexagram is formed through the interplay of Yin and Yang, animals too have traditionally been connected to these two forces: Yin (lunar, cool, receptive, flexible, feminine…) or Yang (solar, warm, active, structured, masculine…). Some embody both at once, like the magpie, which represents the perfect balance of Yin and Yang.
In fact, the original I Ching itself often conveys its spiritual guidance through animal imagery. By engaging both with the hexagram and the Asian symbolic tradition of animals, this oracle opens up unique perspectives for exploring personal questions and gaining spiritual clarity. It is an invitation to reflection and contemplation through the wisdom of animals.
At the same time, it is important to remember that the oracle does not dictate your path: your free will remains essential. The future is something you create, day by day.
