Authored by artists and designers Linnea Gits and Peter Dunham, this guidebook serves as a mediation on the concepts and cards in the Materia Prima Deck.

"What if we thought of the elements – all the matter of this world – as one of us? Cavorting hybrids – part human and part granular, atomic expression – that captures our mind and body as well as our heart. What if we looked at all matter using our souls. Could we still speak with straight forward authority about it? Would science listen? We think it would not only listen but tell us frankly, it is time."
