About this book
The first English translation of Taoist occultist Matgioi’s seminal work. Shares a deep understanding of the I Ching’s cosmological foundation. Offers the meanings of the straight and broken lines of the 64 hexagrams. Explains how the symbol of the yin-yang represents the individual’s destiny, including his emanation from, and reintegration into, Perfection First published in French in 1905, and now translated into English for the first time, Matgioi’s book became the metaphysical core of the Traditionalist movement established by French occultist René Guénon, Julius Evola, and Ananda Coomaraswamy. Translator Joscelyn Godwin tells how Matgioi was initiated into a Taoist secret society and was given rare access to the perennial wisdom of that tradition. His work reveals the great antiquity of Emperor Fohi, who set down the cosmogonic principles upon which the I Ching is based and lived more than 2,000 years before Moses.
