The Master Therion I-Ching

Hexagram # 2

Hexagram 2. K'un The receptive KHWAN

Great, originating, right and fair,
Piercing and helpful, firm as the mare.
(If the true man should move, his feet will stray;
For him to follow is his proper way.)

Hoar-frost! The strong one cometh by and by.
Straight, square and great, advantage springs to aye.
Maintain, but boast not virtue's majesty.
Here is a sack made safe by skilful tie.
Behold the yellow skirt; ill fortune fly.
Dragons at war: Gold, blood and porphyry.

(Correct and firm the conduct, thou shalt spy
Good fortune from the sky.)
