 This is an amazing tool August 2, 2008
I'm buying my second set now because after several years using my current set, my yarrow sticks are wearing thin. I would hate to break one and have to go without this powerful tool. I love it. I use it regularly. The wisdom and guidance I receive is profound and specific and always helpful.
Nice gift set! October 31, 2007

The yarrow stalks are said to be a better tool to use the I-Ching than the coins; that was the main reason for buying this set. But I must admit that the book is very well written and helpful for beginners like myself. The instructions for how to use the sticks might seem a bit complicated to understand at first, but they are not as hard to understand as other reviewers expressed.

I REALLY ENJOYED MY GIFT SET. I JUST WISHED THAT IT CAME WITH SOME CHING COINS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO HAVE. BUT IF IT HELPS IF YOU LIKE TO READ THIS IS A GOOD BOOK!
 Unintelligible text for western minds July 8, 2007

In the introduction, the writer attempts to refer to "runes" and instead calls them "ruins" which should have been a tip-off for me to not continue reading, but I did. Later, he goes on to explain how to split up the yarrow sticks after asking a question and the way he explains it is physically impossible! Do not buy this book.
I have since tried to figure out how to divine using yarrow sticks and virtually every explanation I find, I cannot follow for some reason and the answers I get using coins do not make any sense.
I have used runes and tarot and never had a problem. Nor am I the kind of person that cannot figure out systems as I have been working in the field of systems' analysis for many years.
I have therefore come to the conclusion that the I-ching is for those with an "eastern" mind (which I obviously do not have).
Still, if you're interested in the I-ching, I would recommend a different book as this one is really hard to follow.
 Pretty good! July 31, 2006

The box is nice, the book seems to be quite good compared to some other I Ching versions I've seen and the Yarrow Stalks are... well "Yarrow-y"?
It would have been nice if they had included a cloth/bag/blanket to wrap the stalks & book in when not in use and to spread things out on, you certainly don't need it (as I said the box is nice) but it would have been nice.
