Wu Xing, Bagua and Kabbalah
Using 5 element theory for hexagram interpretation.by D.H.Van den Berghe
In the previous post we've focused on the I Ching at the Sixiang level, that is, reading the hexagrams as groups of 3 digrams; here we'll focus on the Bagua level, and we'll read every hexagram as a group of 2 trigrams.What D.H. Vand den Berghe lists as "create, join, control, insult, weaken" I translate, in this order, as "木, 火, 土, 金, 水" in the tables below.
Notice that I'm not using "木, 火, 土, 金, 水" as symbols for the Wu Xing elements. Rather, I'm using these ideograms as symbols for the arrows between the Wu Xing elements.
