iChing · Visconti–Sforza tarot
Two oracles,
one question.
A bronze-age king casts stalks on silk; a page in gilded plate turns painted cards under a gothic arch. Each will answer — and once both have spoken, they walk out to meet in a single hall.
Consult
Tang of Shang
king of the bronze age · keeper of the yarrow
Yarrow stalks or bronze coins, six lines rising on the silk scroll. Tang reads the hexagram and every changing line aloud, in his own voice.
