I think the direction(s) I'm heading are definitely influenced by the I Ching - that was the divination method I had the most experience with prior to trying and failing to connect with Ogham. Early on in this in-the-works system I toyed with whether it revealed transitions (i.e. changes or yi/I of Yijing/I Ching), but that didn't "ping" too strongly.

Right now I mostly have a lot more questions than answers about what I'm doing, but maybe I'll start posting a bit about it so as to tickle the hive-mind and learn from all the experienced members of the wider ecosophia community.

Thanks for that list, by the way - I can see already where the elements have different connotations in the two systems, but too, there are similarities worth considering.

And yes, you're correct that fire+water (aka Fire of Water) is different from water+fire (Water of Fire).

Speaking of the I Ching, I find I'm really jealous of the beauty of the hexagram system - and the way you lay out the geomantic figures above reminded me of that. I don't have anything nearly so ... concise (AND evocative of meaning) for what I'm working on, but it's early days yet, so you never know. :)
