There are several ways to produce a hexagram, from the traditional to pragmatic.
|
||||
|
||||
Casting coins has been used for centuries as a way of consulting the I Ching and often favoured for it’s simplicity and ease. In contrast, the yarrow stalk method is widely considered more traditional, requiring dedication, time and careful elaboration of process. The coins may produce a result more quickly and directly (yang) while the yarrow stalks yield to time and can create contemplative focus (yin).

Quickest of all (thus far) is the general purpose computer, which can produce a hexagram seemingly instantaneously.

The =quantum= and =atmospheric= sources of randomness both use public APIs and can make hundred of calls (specifically 121, 125, 129 or 133 for the =yarrow-stalk= method) which can take seconds, or minutes depending on the service which may be rate limited. This can be used as a time for reflection. If you prefer to have a quicker casting, you can register an API key or use the local =pseudo= random source.
