Corrections policy
Tao Arcana works with two traditions, the Western Tarot and the Chinese I Ching, across languages and centuries of commentary. That leaves real room for error, and we take getting it right seriously. This page explains what we aim for, how to tell us when we slip, and how we record the fix.
What we aim for
We try to present each tradition faithfully and to be clear about which is which. That means card meanings that reflect the Rider-Waite-Smith body of interpretation, hexagram texts and trigram correspondences in line with the Wilhelm/Baynes lineage, and Chinese characters that match the meanings we attach to them. Where we draw a bridge between a card and a hexagram, we treat it as our own interpretation, not as settled fact, and we try to say so.
How to report an error
If you find something wrong, please email hi@taoarcana.com. It helps us most if you include:
- The page or web address where you saw it.
- What is wrong, for example a card description, a hexagram number, a mistranslation, or a character that does not fit.
- If you have one, a source or reference we can check it against.
Typos and small fixes are welcome too. You do not need to be an expert to flag something that looks off, and we are grateful for every report.
How we handle corrections
We read every correction that comes in and check it for ourselves. When something is genuinely wrong, we fix it. For small changes like a typo or a clearer phrasing, we simply update the page. For a material correction, one that changes the meaning of a card, a hexagram, or a translation, we note that the page was corrected and date the change, so the record is honest about what shifted and when.
We will not pretend a page was always right when it was not. If we got something important wrong, we would rather say so plainly and move on with it fixed.
