+# I Ching
+
+The IRC folks at tilde.town have a bot that does tarot readings in the #town channel. I dig it, even if it's just pulling a random card. I have a special love of divination and wanted to contribute something.
+
+The yarrow stalk method of the I Ching is a favorite of mine. I have my sticks over there in a little bag, in fact. There's something wonderfully meditative about the practice, and the fact that this method takes me about 30 minutes to complete means I don't waste my efforts with it frivolously.
+
+In the past I've written about the method on gopher [1] but wanted to go further this time and actually build an app for it. I chose to do it as a shell script (which is hopefully portable).

+
+I knew I wanted to make it accessible to IRC bots which meant I need some method to run it without interaction. After adding that feature I realized I could also make it work on Gemini. This is my first Gemini cgi, and it was quite easy to do thanks to Jetforce.

+I've written more thoughts on divination and its applicability to digital tools in a note at the end of that page. Enjoy!
