NEW: Esoterica 2026 ❂ Illustrated Sidereal & Lunar Tree Calendar

Esoterica 2026 is a hand illustrated sidereal & lunar tree artisan calendar designed from the ground up to operate on True Star sidereal calculations, using the actual astronomical positions of the constellations rather than the fixed-date Geo-Solar model. Each zodiacal transition is charted precisely as it occurs in the sky, providing an authentic, constellation-based view of the year. A rare hand-illustrated, sidereal-aligned tool for anyone seeking to
deepen their relationship with the stars, the lunar cycles, and the hidden patterns of Nature.​

After careful consideration, I have chosen to transition Esoterica 2026 away from the crowdfunding model and instead make it directly available through my online studio shop. More info is available at Esoterica.EricTecce.com

Alongside Esoterica 2026, I have also released a full 2026 Artisan Calendar Collection,
which features multiple editions built upon the same true sidereal zodiac and lunar Celtic tree system. In addition, a new calendar titled Astro Logos: Zodiac Edition is now available. This edition presents my illustrated zodiac collection paired with original sky photography, offering an alternate visual expression of the same astronomical framework.

All editions are now available through my studio shop and will continue to be refined and expanded as part of an ongoing series of artisan calendar works.

 World’s First Illustrated Sidereal & Lunar Tree Calendar

For years, my solo studio has brought unique, hand-illustrated artisan collections to life & Esoterica 2026 is truly special. 

Exploring the Celtic Trees in the Sacred Druid collection brought about a way in understanding a fractal system, grounded by Nature, to describe cycles of Light. ​These insights lead to the development assigning each cycle of the moon to a particular Celtic Tree.
Each tree has an attribute relative in Nature, such as Birch being the first tree to sprout after a forest fire. These characteristics gives credence to why we are experiencing each season of Light as we do.

This philosophy may also be witnessed through the Vedic & Sidereal practice of True Star Astrology – which honors the Light present by using the true position of each constellation forming the Zodiacal horizon.

Through studying the Celtic Trees and practicing True Star Astrology, the inspiration to create a natural calendar system merging both cycles of the natural philosophic Lunar Trees & the astronomical accurate Sidereal Zodiac developed a brand new way to authentically present the complex Nature of Light through a Gregorian lens.

Letting the constellations themselves define time restores a lineage that predates modern astrology and returns a sense of honesty to the practice.Expanding upon the Celtic traditions explored in my Sacred Druid collection, Esoterica 2026is the first calendar to dynamically assign Lunar Celtic Trees to each lunar cycle. Instead of fixed associations, each moon-th is paired with its corresponding seasonal tree. The system reflects nature’s feminine rhythm, allowing each cycle to express itself authentically—creating a calendar that breathes with the sky & earth.
Most modern calendar systems—esoteric or otherwise—rely on fixed dates, tropical approximations, or symbolic allocations. Yet the shapes and borders of the zodiac were not invented; they were observed. My goal with was to develop a calendar system that faithfully reflects what the sky reveals in real time.

Operating on True Star sidereal calculations, Esoterica 2026 utilizes the actual astronomical positions of the constellations rather than the fixed-date Geo-Solar lens. Each zodiacal transition is charted precisely as it occurs in the sky, providing an authentic, constellation-based view of the year.

To express this fractal wisdom in a whole new Light, the information has been presented within my hand illustrated 2026 Artisan Calendars, a functional object that is equally an artistic work honoring true Nature.

Every component of Esoteric 2026 was crafted by hand. Each month features a full-page pen-and-ink illustration composed of occult diagrams and esoteric imagery drawn from over a decade of my artistic development.

From the intricate artwork and custom typography – all hand-drawn in pen & ink by artist Eric Tecce. The artisan calendar features a custom handwritten font, alongside inked artwork from my Astro Logos and Sacred Druidcollections.

Esoterica 2026 includes planetary weekdays, lunar phase symbols, zodiac & lunar tree entries, and marked holidays. A True Star Zodiacal Wheel anchors the system according to constellation-based boundaries. Lunar phases are mapped and paired with seasonal Lunar Trees derived from Celtic tradition, and planetary weekdays are expressed through hand-drawn glyphs.

Finally, all text, dates, and structural labels employ my handwritten script developed from the Sacred Druid runic collection, giving the entire calendar a cohesive, unified hand-illustrated presentation.

To properly display the artwork, I chose a large 14″ × 11.5″ format. Esoterica 2026 exists as both a functional tool and a fine art print, and the scale allows its intricate detail to be fully appreciated.

More than a calendar, Esoterica 2026 is a functional occult manuscript of the year ahead—a hand-illustrated, sidereal-aligned tool for anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with the stars, the lunar cycles, and the hidden patterns of Nature.

Hello, I am Eric Tecce—Polymath & Founder of several visionary studios—including Nu-Common Sense, The Deep Forest, and Waking Canvas—developing a diverse body of art expanding into illustrative collections, sculptural earthcrafts, divination decks, and astrological charts. Through the visual arts, lectures, and educational offerings weave together Esoteric Symbolism, Natural Philosophy, and Fractal Insights, a gift that keeps on giving.

My previous crowdfund experience includes three illustrated esoteric collections of “𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬” screen-prints under the studio name of “ռʊ-ƈơɱɱօռ ʂɛռʂɛ” between 2013 & 2015. The following year, my earthcraft studio “𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝔻𝔼𝔼ℙ 𝔽𝕆ℝ𝔼𝕊𝕋” expanded my creations to vendor in person at local events.

Thereafter, my first two Tarot Decks, 𝔖𝔥𝔞𝔬𝔡𝔴 𝔏𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱 𝔗𝔞𝔯𝔬𝔱 & 𝔚𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯 𝔏𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱 𝔗𝔞𝔯𝔬𝔱, were completed, crowdfunded, and printed in 2018 through my “ωαкιηg ¢αηναѕ” studio. afterwards, follow up decks, 𝒜𝒮𝒯𝑅☉ 𝐿𝐼𝒢𝐻𝒯 ⊕𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐋𝐄& 𝐿𝒰𝒞𝐼𝒟 𝐿𝐼𝒢𝐻𝒯 𝒯𝒜𝑅𝒪𝒯were explored up until unforeseen health circumstances became the forefront of focus.

Soon after, a deep dive into medicinal plants inspired a renewed traditional approach to hand illustrate a trilogy of decks, titled the 𝒜𝒮𝒯𝑅☉ 𝐻𝐸𝑅𝐵𝒜𝐿 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍, released in the Spring of 2024.

In 2025, deconstructing the design of Latin Alphabetic symbols produced an additional educational deck & lead to my first published book on the Art of Symbolism, titled Alphabetica. This book explores the Feminine Nature of Language uncovering the Tartaric Root via Natural Sciences & Philosophy. Two follow up decks were completed since then, including my last campaign’s Sacred Druid Artisan Runic Collection, and my upcoming Astro Logos.

Sacred Druid was recently successfully crowdfunded to print on Kickstarter, unlocking an additional book & calendar. Followed there after by the funding of my Shadow Light collection. Having launched a number of crowdfund campaigns, starting from Nu-Common Sense, it has been a long road to culminate the professional approach I uphold to providing art a pathway into the world through community–an essential to our human & spiritual growth.Allworks are hand-illustrated and self-published by my one-man self-named studio. If you wish to show support to allow future creations’ handcrafted culmination, I invite you to discover my Studio’s Patreon. If my creations inspire you, consider joining my Patreon family to help keep the fine arts alive.

The 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐎𝐒 Artisan Collection features 70 cards of hand-drawn illustrations & typography exploring the natural sciences of Light through the Zodiac, Planets, Asteroids, Elements, Relations, & Charts. In addition to an educational artisan deck, 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐎𝐒 is capable of creating custom natal charts & oracles.
