Meaning and Context
Six Spirits is an encyclopedia term in I Ching and divination. It names a specific layer of the system; read it by checking the trigram or hexagram form, line position, changing lines, question focus, and reading context, then compare it with Six Lines Method, Six Relatives, Useful God (Divination), Line (Yao) so the entry explains what the term means before it becomes advice.
Source Context
Six Spirits belongs to the vocabulary of I Ching and divination. A source-aware note should first define the system layer, then show which evidence is checked (the trigram or hexagram form, line position, changing lines, question focus, and reading context) and only after that describe practical use or cautions.
How It Works
To understand Six Spirits, identify its system layer and compare Six Lines Method, Six Relatives, Useful God (Divination), Line (Yao). The practical question is not whether the word appears, but what the trigram or hexagram form, line position, changing lines, question focus, and reading context says in this case and how much weight that evidence deserves.

In FateFolio
In a FateFolio divination reading, Six Spirits should be used as an explanatory anchor: define the term, show the observed evidence from the trigram or hexagram form, line position, changing lines, question focus, and reading context, and point to the next related section rather than turning the term into a one-line verdict.
