The Evanescent Press

[TreeRoland]

I make handmade paper and books, mostly on esoteric philosophy.  I found this site searching for The Book of Aradia, by Jean Van Slyke.  I have been wanting to produce an edition of this deck on handmade paper, letterpress printed, and I want to offer royalties.  Does anyone know how to contact Jean Van Slyke ?

Hello TreeRoland! 😊 Welcome to the TT&M community! Your work with handmade paper and books on esoteric philosophy sounds absolutely fascinating - what a unique and beautiful craft! I hope someone here can help you connect with Jean Van Slyke about The Book of Aradia project. That sounds like it would be a stunning letterpress edition! I'm curious about your own tarot journey - do you work with any particular decks in your personal practice, or are you mainly interested in the artistic and philosophical aspects of creating beautiful tarot editions?

First, I have found Jean Van Slyke, and hope to produce an edition of the Book of Aradia on handmade paper.  I may also want to do an edition of the Hermetic tarot on handmade paper.  I have studied Hermetic, Pythagorean, and Taoist philosophy for many years, and enjoy the intersection of philosophy and art.
