Two I Ching Coins from Leonard Cohen's Montreal Apartment - A Glimpse into His Mystical World

Own a piece of Leonard Cohen's history! Up for auction are two I Ching coins given by Leonard Cohen to Aviva Layton in his Montreal apartment in 1967, following her first LSD experience (provided by Cohen). This intimate moment offers a unique window into Cohen's fascination with the I Ching, a practice that deeply influenced his life and work.

As Aviva Layton recounts, Cohen lovingly guided her through her first acid trip, a testament to their close relationship. Afterwards, he gifted her these two I Ching coins, which they later used together with his guidance. This story, combined with the coins themselves, speaks volumes about Cohen's spiritual explorations during this era.

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text and philosophy that became a recurring motif in Cohen's life. Its influence can be seen subtly woven into his music, poetry, and personal philosophy. From notebook entries to documented readings with friends (as seen in the 1965 documentary "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen"), the I Ching was a constant companion on his creative and spiritual journey.

These coins are more than just objects; they are tangible links to a pivotal moment in Cohen's life and offer a glimpse into the mystical world that shaped his art.

This incredible item is part of our "Celebrating Leonard Cohen: The Collections of Aviva Layton, Anjani Thomas, & More” auction on February 28th at 10 AM at Julien's Studios and LIVE online.
