The “Double Ba Gua” is the Later Heaven Ba Gua circling the Early Heaven Ba Gua, with the yin yang symbol at the enter. My book The Tao of Craftexplains the different uses, purposes, and distinctions between Early Heaven and Later Heaven. Then you’ve got the “ Early Heaven Ba Gua” and “ Later Heaven Ba Gua” divination mats. So the sigil energies of this mat is keyed into that particular attunement.


The file “ Ba Gua (Witch-Shaman)” features the oracle bone script for “witch” (wu) but it can also be translated as “shaman.” This might resonate more with those who identify as a witch, witch doctor, magician, sorcerer, or shaman.

This might resonate more with those who identify as a psychic or a medium, who specialize primarily in connections that qualify as psychic or as mediumship, or that’s what you’re aspiring to do. The file “Ba Gua (Lao Tzu Psychic Amplifier)” features the Seal of Lao Tzu, a Fu talisman used in Taoist magic, mostly by psychics and mediums as a talisman to amplify their clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance. The file labeled “Ba Gua (Divinity)” depicts the holy trinity up top with the three-star constellation to the left is the Chinese character for moon to the right is the character for sun and below it the whole character is the Chinese oracle bone script for “Divinity.” This would be the optimal one to use for communion with a pantheistic or monotheistic sense of the Divine, for connecting to “Spirit” or “the Universe.” I Ching Divination MatsĪ quick explanation of the various mat options.

It was supposed to come out printed black, but my home printer is running out of ink, so it’s gray. It’d be preferable if you used nice, thicker cardstock, but if you can’t, that’s fine. This will be a simple one you print out from the templates I provide. Next we’re going to be making a Ba Gua divination mat. Yes, you can skip this step with the holy water and oil if it’s overwhelming you. Alternatively, anoint, or rub, a little bit of essential oil on both sides of each coin. Then submerge each coin one by one in the tablespoon of holy water. What I like to do, because it’s easy, is scoop out a tablespoon of holy water from my container and set the filled tablespoon on the counter. Holy oil is, like, frankincense essential oil, myrrh, sandalwood, or cedar wood essential oil that’s been through, you know, stuff. For me, holy water is just collected rain water that’s then been filtered and gone through, you know, stuff. On the morning of a new moon (or whenever), consecrate the three coins with either holy water or holy oil. Just skip the moon stuff and do this as you will. If you’re asking yourself, “how would I know about the moon and what’s with caring about moon phases?” then don’t worry about it.

If you’re fancy, then do this on the eve of a full moon and wait until the morning of the new moon to proceed with the subsequent steps (about two weeks later, give or take). Oh by the way there is the more old school methodology of doing this with rice consecrated before an ancestral altar, rather than just table salt, but hey. Make sure the coins are buried beneath the salt. You can use sea salt or just regular table salt. Here I’m using disinfectant soap and water. Dry them thoroughly. Go find three pennies, or three nickels, or three quarters–whatever pleases you. Any three coins of the same value in your change purse will do.
