[Hig98] Charlie Higgins
The Mathematics of Alchemy and the I Ching An excellent site with some very interesting material linking the structures of the Yi with western Alchemical ideas. His web site is now defunct, but used to be at http://www.mension.com.

[Lof] Chris Lofting
I Ching Plus A large and rambling site at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~ddiamond/index1.html. There are a couple of elementary translation errors revolving around a misunderstanding of the difference in meaning for the term "chi" in the phrases "wu chi" and "tai chi", but the pages do contain an interesting collection of ideas.
