Each of the 78 cards has its own unique symbol that was designed to represent an intention of a particular question. Each symbol is a unique illustration, a visual expression of the question. Each illustration is based on Sacred Geometry.

The roots of sacred geometry go all the way back to ancient times. For centuries it has been the bridge between spiritual and material, seen and unseen, finite and infinite. Our bodies, nature surrounding us, animals, planets and galaxies are composed of continually repeating geometric patterns. Each pattern begins with a circle and from there on it evolves into more complex shapes. If we are observant we will notice that some of those shapes associated with sacred geometry surround us in our everyday life: the composition of a beehive, a lily flower, a snowflake, a seashell, the structure of laser waves or the movement of planets around their orbits.

The idea to incorporate elements of sacred geometry in our cards came to us during a walk in the park, while contemplating the world around us. We felt those illustrations will serve as the best depiction of the questions without distracting the observer.

1. There are no wrong answers and everyone may interpret the questions or respond to them in their own way. Furthermore, the same question may sound completely different another time.

2. Each day brings new answers. Even when you think you already know all the questions by heart, give yourself a chance to update the image you have of yourself. Check with yourself and ask if you continue to think in the same way or something has changed since your last answer.

3. The only person who can speak is the one holding the card. Listen to that person with care, empathy and give them your full attention.

4. Meetings should remain confidential. Whatever you say in a session should stay there and should not leave the room. Following this rule ensures that everyone can feel safe.

5. Always speak for yourself, about your own experience and feelings. Don’t relate to other people’s answers directly, if you are not asked. Don’t give advice and don’t judge. Each voice is equal and of the same importance.

6. Sometimes silence is the right answer.

Book some time together and choose a place where you feel comfortable. A place where you can sit down and all see each other well. If you’re in a bigger group it’s best to sit around a big table or in a circle on the floor. If you’re in a pair, sit across from each other.

The person leading the game may ask the group what their intention for the round is. If there is such a desire within the group, one by one everyone can share where they are at right now and what their guiding thought for the round is. After this introduction the person leading the session shuffles the cards and places them face down on the floor or table. You can scramble the cards or arrange them in a circle or semicircle.

The leader is the first to choose a card from the deck. They can read the question out loud immediately or give themselves a moment. The silence after the question is read, makes a good moment for the rest of the group to reflect. So there is no need to hurry with your response. When the person who drew the card is ready, they can share with the rest of the group what came to them in response to their question. When they feel they’ve said everything that was important for them in this moment, they place the card aside. There are times when silence is the best answer. Sometimes the answer from within comes to us a bit later, maybe when listening to someone else. At the end of the round the person, who previously chose silence may share what has come to them in the meantime. The questions drawn in the following rounds may relate to those from the previous ones creating an interesting path for our thoughts. It’s worth taking a closer look.

After putting away their card, the person who has just finished makes space for the next person to draw a card. You may decide that a round will mean each person has their own question or you will all answer one question. That means each of you responds to the same one. Each following round brings you into a deeper level of mindfulness.

You decide what the course of the session will look like, as well as when it’s best to finish. At the end of the meeting it’s a good idea to share your thoughts and how you feel in order to bring the whole process to a close.

We are friends, partners, a photographer and an illustrator fascinated with spirituality and living life to the fullest. During our trip to New York in 2018, we discovered a bookshop in Chelsea Market. It was full of beautiful designer books, comic strips and albums. We wandered through the shop inspired. That was when our desire to create these cards was born. For the next two years we collected questions we found important and created the illustrations that would accompany them.

Sacred Enquiry is an extension of how we perceive the world that surrounds us. We like to ask a lot of questions, to question reality. to express ourselves nonverbally and put our ideas on paper. The idea to create these cards arose from the desire to communicate in an honest and courageous manner, to develop close relationships and a longing for meaningful, open and sincere conversations. We both believe that it is important to constantly renew the perception we have of ourselves and revise our path in life.
