About the author
Jim Edward Lucier is the author of two divination kits published by Redfeather, The I Ching Oracle Wheel and The Tarot Wheel. The I Ching Oracle Wheel adapts the roughly 3,000-year-old Chinese Book of Changes, built on the 64 hexagrams formed from combinations of yin and yang lines, into a spinning wheel format with an accompanying guidebook. The Tarot Wheel applies a similar mechanical approach to tarot reading, based on Rider-Waite deck principles, using interconnected spinning wheels to let readers generate a reading quickly rather than through traditional card-laying methods. Both kits are pitched as fast, accessible entry points to their respective divination systems, aimed at readers who want a simplified format rather than extended study. Lucier's contribution across both titles is this wheel-based mechanism itself, applied to two distinct and much older divinatory traditions.
