The Toltec I Ching

64 Keys to Inspired Action in the New World

by Martha Ramirez-Oropeza and William Douglas Horden

?Combining the ancient wisdom of the Toltecs and the Chinese is a beautiful way to serve the urgent need for change in our modern world. Many individuals, and thus our entire culture, will respond and benefit from this message . . .?

?Allan Hardman, Toltec Master and author of The Everything Toltec Wisdom Book

Definitely NOT just another I Ching, The Toltec I Ching is genuinely new?specifically developed for our time, our circumstances . . . rather than for emperors who ruled uneducated masses. It?s for millions of highly individualized readers of wisdom books such as The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz or Dan Millman?s Peaceful Warrior books, in addition to I Ching aficionados and people of hope worldwide.

The authors draw upon common sources of both the traditional I Ching and the pre-Hispanic Central American traditions that produced the sacred calendar expiring in 2012. Their lucid, accessible text, greatly enhanced with powerful full-color indigenous images, reunites and synergizes two powerful oracular traditions that developed independently in the east and the west for two millennia. The result is an easy-to-use new resource that distills archetypal lessons of both hemispheres for motivation, hope, and practical guidance in the new One-World of our day.

The mysterious interplay of symbolic indigenous artwork and simple text energizes, harmonizes, and integrates the inquirer?s feminine and masculine natures?providing an accessible, refreshing alternative to the masculine/aristocratic biases of previous I Chings. The work?s intriguing new sequence of hexagrams is specifically designed to help individuals cultivate wise inner responses to circumstances beyond their control.

In these uncertain times, The Toltec I Ching is a helpful tool for people who may need to reinvent themselves or their situations, or who want to help others do one or both?or who simply want better guidance and deeper understanding of how to engage the emerging global perspectives driving widespread change.

About the authors:

Martha Ramirez-Oropeza is a mural painter, a performer in popular theater, and a researcher/lecturer of the Nahuatl pre-Hispanic codices of Mexico. She was vice-director of the Mascarones Theatre Group for 32 years, and designed and co-founded the Nahuatl University pyramid campus in Ocotepec, Morelos, Mexico. She apprenticed under master muralist David A. Siqueiros, Guillermo Monroy in the Fine Arts Institute, and, more recently, under Chicana muralist Judith F. Baca. She conducts international Nahuatl Culture seminars in Mexico and lectures at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is also an artist in residence at the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) in Venice, California, and is a performing and visual arts teacher for children in a Spanish total immersion school in Santa Monica, California.

William Douglas Horden has researched indigenous divinatory systems of ancient China and Mexico with passion and independence since 1969. He is steeped in the shamanic world view from living in the Copper Canyon of Mexico with the Tarahumara Indians and in numerous other indigenous communities over the past few decades. William was initially trained in the I Ching by Master Khigh Alx Dhiegh and has since developed a fresh new approach to the ancient art. He currently lives in Roseburg, Oregon and Coatepec, Mexico.



?Ramirez-Oropeza and Horden present a synthesis of oracular traditions . . . The result is a beautiful pictorial-based guide that advises on intention and action for dealing with present and changing situations. They imbue philosophy with action, and intention with point of view, so you can plot your course and wrestle with your own destiny.? ?Robert L. Spencer, author, The Craft of the Warrior

?The Toltec I Ching is a wedding of two ancient traditions that speaks to the New World view of balance and harmony that all of us are called to embrace. Through its stunning artwork and lucid text, this book inspires us to see more clearly, live more creatively, and love more fully. I highly recommend it to all those seeking to understand the wisdom of the ancients and put it into daily practice.? --?Ray Dodd, author, The Power of Belief
