This website acts as a digital interface for the Phrygian Solitaire card system. The Phrygian Solitaire cards were originally designed to be a conduit between the querent, and their own subconscious mind. Each of the 538 cards were specifically designed to evoke a range of emotional responses ranging from sublime beauty, to utter repulsiveness. The Phrygian Solitaire cards can be used as a cognitive enhancement tool which allows for the development of EQ (Emotional Intelligence). By paying attention to how any given spread makes you feel, you build a bridge between your conscious and subconscious minds.
The buttons at the bottom of your screen give you access to a 3x3 and a 5x5 grid. There are no defined instructions of how to interpret these grids, so you are encouraged to get creative and invent your own systems of correspondences. Or you may look at the grids as a sort of Gestalt effect. A single impression of the whole grid is bound to induce an emotional response. Pay attention. How you are feeling may be an indication of the proper direction to go in any given situation.
Bear in mind, this website is “A” interface for the Phrygian Solitaire cards. It is not “The” interface, it’s just “A” interface. The cards were originally designed to be interacted with physically. The scope of what you can do with a physical set of these cards is a little mind boggling. I just wanted to create something that would allow me to do complex spreads without physically having to shuffle 538 cards, and so this website was created. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.-Baker
