Yarrow Stalk Method

The yarrow stalk method is the older, more contemplative ritual. It uses 49 stalks and forms each of the six lines through three successive changes — 18 steps in total.

The structure

• Begin with 49 stalks; set one aside as the observer.
• Split the remainder, take one from the right, and count both heaps by fours.
• Repeat the change three times to determine a single line.
• Each line resolves to 6, 7, 8, or 9; six lines complete the hexagram.

You confirm each change before continuing — there is no pre-recorded animation standing in for the ritual. The server records every step so a refresh restores your exact progress.
