BIOGRAPHY
1990-2009
Born in Brooklyn, NY & raised in the Poconos at an early age. Have been blessed to spend most of my life in Nature, free of external man-made frequencies. Developed various creative outlets outside & during public education including illustration, design, photography, sculpture, screen printing, ceramics, coding, guitar, and more. Various artworks have been awarded & featured in juried exhibitions, magazines, and video games. Apprenticed under seasoned college educator. Launched multiple entrepreneurial enterprises including an original screen-printed apparel brand, as well as commissioned coding, design, and artwork for bands during early era of the internet. Upon graduation, toured the east coast selling merch at music venues.
2009-2013
Attended 276-acre woodland Keystone College for a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Participated in various leadership roles on campus as a tour guide, resident assistant, counselor, event planner, ambassador, and board member on student government committee. Held various positions managing art department studios, assistant teaching, gallery assistant, lead designer, modeling, and trip advisor. Additional studies expanded into psychology, film, and occultism. Several Edgar Allen Poe illustrations featured at Senior Gallery in Scranton, PA. Continued to manage online apparel shop in addition to launching various blogs & video channels. During my final semester, various spiritual developments occurred including my very first active lucid dreaming session and an out-of-body visual experience.
2013-2014
Relocated along the mountains of the Appalachian Trail. Managed additional philosophy blogs, online artisan shops, and creative commissions prior to launching my first major studio, Nu-Common Sense, as a dedicated interactive web magazine, original hand-illustration collection, and apparel brand focused on the esoteric arts, astrology, consciousness, and spirituality. Topics include explorations on Edgar Cayce, Walter Russell, Nikola Tesla, and the Yuga cycles. Multiple collections were crowdfunded to print over the course of the studio's lifespan. Expanded creative outlets include Nature Photography & Filmography, Holistic Web & Graphic Design, and prominent Social Networker (prior to censorship due to exposing geo-political atrocities).
2015-2017
Launched second studio, The Deep Forest, dedicated to handmade earthcraft sculptures & spiritual tools using found nature materials such as clay, wood, and crystals. Expanded video channels discussing spiritual tools, lucid dreaming, astrology, the esoteric arts. Continued focus on Nature Photography & Filmography, including dedicated focus on developing 'Earth Altar' installations featuring moss, mushrooms, crystals, and original sculptures. At this time, my social media accounts had garnered over 33k followers & was blessed with various connections to artists & creators. During this period, a vision was experienced in broad daylight leading me to Akashic Record reader & author, Chris Thomas. Eventually, development began on a series of illustrations based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot, fleshing out the composition for what would become my upcoming Tarot collection. Towards the end development, my studio would relocate to a tiny house on a private homestead where I would finalize the Tarot collection for print.
2017-2019
A third studio was launched, titled Waking Canvas, upon the completion of a hand-illustrated reinvented panoramic black & white 'Shadow Light' Tarot deck collection. The deck was crowdfunded & self-published in 2018 with the addition of a travel-sized companion deck, titled Wander Light Tarot, and a completely hand illustrated & written Visual Companion Guidebook. The indie Tarot deck was featured on various websites & the deck's custom packaging inspired various printers to implement magnetic box packaging & custom tarot-sized books with self-published decks. The entire illustration process was recorded and is available to watch on my studio's video channels on various platforms. Upon the decks release, a new collection dedicated on illustrating a map of the constellations were developed with various time-lapse videos also available on my studio's video channels.
Expanded video channels discussed Natural Philosophy, Geo-Political Trends, Webbot & Astrology Analysis, and the rise of Cryptocurrencies, Telegram social network, and Independent media. Various Telegram channels dedicated to news, earth changes, and other developments spawned a dedicated curated news platform titled 'Waking World News' while participating actively across multiple social media platforms. Various commissions were also engaged, including the launch of a local vendor-based business, Taurian Spirits, dedicated to carrying on the earthcraft legacy established from The Deep Forest.
2020-2021
Due to the scope of illustrating a complete constellation map requiring more time than planned, focus shifted on developing a full color follow-up to my previous Tarot Deck. In addition, I began guest appearing on various podcasts and talk shows up until I was nicknamed a 'Young Clif High'. There after, during the major eclipse, my works and social media accounts became more censored after speaking out against the psychological social experiment conducted upon the western world and shifted my pursuit to launch a dedicated non-profit artisan studio focused on educational self-published collections. Various collections were developed to study the Bach Remedies, Medicinal Plants, Trees, Fungi, Minerals, Crystals, Meridians, Astrology, Field Mechanics, Dream Symbolism, Scents, and Wildlife. This renewal helped to merge my creative artistry, media platforms, spiritual advancement, and a desire for sustainable lifestyle in balance with Nature.
Shortly after finalizing these plans, state-law-required smart meter installation began a series of lucid dream encounters and sleep disruptions, leading to local hospitalization upon sharing details publicly. This experience shed light on the corrupted medical system, with various hardware malfunctions and pressure from family leading to an extended period of recovery due to allostatic stress. The following year, I would return to complete the Major Arcana of my full-color 'Lucid Light' tarot deck, but due to censored social network's dwindling support and the early rise of AI, development was temporarily paused as to reevaluate the future of my studio's artistry.
2022-2024
Upon the discovery of tissue masses on my chest & ribs, my passions were revitalized, reinstating the values previously disrupted since hospitalization. Fully aware of the medical system and previous years sharing alternatives for treating such cases, I began diving deep into research into topics of medicinal plants, Hulda Clark, and various other detox remedies. As I began a renewed journey to recover, additional research expanded into latin alphabet symbolism, old world infrastructures, & the medical system's petro-chemical parasite paradigm. Soon after, I experienced harassment from local law & medical institutions.
After enduring weeks of setbacks due to local corruption, a number of months would pass before finalizing my medicinal plant research into a hand-illustrated collection of 126 plants designed to support, nourish, and nurture One's Nature by Nature for Nature. Increased censorship on various platforms resulted in multiple failed attempts to crowdfund the collection to print, with dedicated pre-orders finally offering the artisan deck trilogy, titled Astro Herbal, a limited-edition print-run.
In addition to my the medicinal plant collection, focus would shift back to my earthcraft studio, The Deep Forest, where I developed various collections including miniature mossy light-up hobbit homes and various other earthly creations curated for in-person vendor events. Many of these creations were filmed & shared on my studio's video channels, as well as continued exploration through Nature Filmography and timelapse captures of Nature Illustrations.
2024
Successfully printing my medicinal plant collection, a second video channel would be launched offering daily & moon-thly readings with the artisan decks. After a number of guest appearances on other's podcasts, inspiration sparked a series of audio discussions with Tory Lee of Taurian Spirits, which inadvertently directly influenced Clif High's conclusion of an Ontological paradigm. In-person events continued to offer vendor opportunities, sharing our unique found-nature creations with the local community. Our presentation earned various best-in-show features & helped reconnect locals to the Natural world. In addition, a hand inked collection of the Zodiac made it possible to offer hand illustrated astrological charts to honor One's Birth-Light geometry. A season later, a new trio of artisan decks were developed and were planned for a crowdfund campaign to cover printing costs, including an Oracle deck to accompany my previous 'Shadow Light' collection.
Shortly before launch of these collections, our audio discussions began to explore publicly opening up about my previous experiences. Afterwards, the both of us began encountering a number of strange occurrences on our land from contaminated well water to unexpected loss among our studio homestead's livestock. Raising concerns on these issues & seeking legal support resulted into the abuse from local law & medical institutions including fraudulent medical charge & falsified records. These issues disrupted the release of my previous collection as to focus on in-person vendor opportunities. As the year wrapped up, I had completed a new collection dedicated to the Latin Alphabet's symbolism to developed a practical spelling decoder featuring original glyphs to convey each character's function.
2025
Upon awaiting for prototypes of cards for the spell decoder, I began expressing various aspects of the realm's mechanics in relation to an ontological lens. In addition, explanations expanded into frequencies from modern technology disrupting the soul's presence within One's bio-field, leading to out-of-character emotional reactions and derailment (or loss) of train of thoughts observed on the local populace. Unfortunately these conclusions resulted in pressures from local law & medical institutions. With the help of another who stands true against corruption, I swiftly recovered and shifted focus to release my spell decoder into a universal ontological spelling codex.
The Alphabetica Spelling Codex reveals the Intelligent Design of Language and serves as a simple yet sophisticated reinvented system using Natural Philosophy. The Art of Symbolism developed from a life-long experience of a polymathic artist's creative observation & deconstruction of symbolic design. Conclusions were further refined by correlating letters and phonetic patterns spanning across multiple disciplines and languages from Medicinal Plants to Astrology and Historical documentation. The Alphabetica Spelling Codex was self-published in May of 2025 and is available in both paperback and hardcover editions from Amazon.com
The collection includes a complete Spelling Codex introducing a set of original hand illustrated glyphs to easily visualize the function of each Alphabetic character while revealing each symbol’s True Nature using Natural Philosophy. In addition, The codex includes an expanded appendix of examples for numerals, spectrals, astrologicals, and names. Expanding beyond a written guidebook, a set of hand illustrated educational artisan cards were developed adjacent to the Codex as a practical tool for deconstructing spells and, similar to Runes, may be utilized as a form of divination.
Expanding beyond the Latin Alphabet, development of the Sacred Druid collection explored both Ogham & Elder Furthark runes using the same Art of Symbolism. As the Latin Alphabet emphasizes Energy with the character ‘E’, the Elder Furthark runes utilizes the symbol of ‘M’ to describe this same phenomenon - reflecting the runic system as a vertical magnetic-focused lens. In addition, the collection explores the modern Lunar Celtic Tree system as a zodiacal construct for the cycles of Light & Consciousness.
The collection features a set of hand illustrated artisan cards featuring original inked artwork for each Rune & Celtic Tree—with hand written typography, new translations, and presented with original Nature Photography. In addition, the collection includes an expanded book, titled Sacred Druid: Hidden Wisdom of the Runes & Celtic Trees, to better serve as a runic codex as well as a collection of original essays exploring Druid wisdom deeply rooted in Natural Philosophy. The Sacred Druid collection’s artisan cards received a small self-published limited-print 50-deck run thanks to crowdfunded efforts to cover printing costs.
Shortly after this period, efforts for legal justice against local law & medical institutions lead to continued harassment & abuse by these systems, signaling corruption being more complex than first presumed. Weeks after these incidents, I returned focused to complete what I had set out, a new follow-up book & a reinvented calendar, plus the decision to launch a second edition of my Tarot collection due local corruption disrupting established finances and plans.
Upon completion of the Sacred Druid collection, focus shifted back to the Language of Light via the Astro Logos artisan collection. Featuring 80 original hand-inked illustrations portraying the Zodiac, Planetaries, Asteroids, Relations, and Charts, each depiction includes refined interpretations utilizing the Art of Symbolism. This collection further refined my developed astrological practice, titled True Star Astrology, as an improved unified astrological system honoring the True Light encountered within One’s experience. Currently, the completed artisan deck will be self-published after printing costs are raised and secured via an upcoming crowdfund campaign.
With the Sacred Druid and the Astro Logos collections completed, a reinvented Sidereal & Lunar Tree calendar system was developed to offer the Gregorian structure proper Zodiacal alignments, dynamic Lunar Celtic trees, and Planetary Weekdays aligned with the current Solar year. The entire calendar was designed from the ground up to feature original hand-inked illustrated entries for each Zodiac and Celtic Lunar Tree, calendar wide typography hand-inked from my Sacred Druid collection, along with reinterpreted holidays.
The first in the calendar collection, Esoterica 2026, embodies the reinvented system paired with a curated collection of my 2013's studio's original esoteric art aligned with each month’s relative resonance. In addition, Celtic Tree, Rune, and Zodiac editions have been created & feature monthly artwork of original hand-inked illustrations from both the Sacred Druid and Astro Logos collection presented on original Nature Photography—as well as a special Hobbit Home edition featuring original Shire-inspired photography of my Deep Forest earthcraft studio’s handmade found-nature miniature Hobbit Home sculptures. All calendars are available to purchase exclusively from my studio shop at Shop.EricTecce.com
Lastly, the second edition of my hand illustrated infinite-panoramic Tarot collection, titled Shadow Light, was successfully crowdfunded for a new limited-edition self-published print-run coming soon in spring of 2026. Alongside the artisan deck, a newly revised ‘Shadow Light’ Visual Tarot Guide featuring original illustrated artwork & hand written typography offers day & night interpretations for each of the 22 Paths of the Major Arcana & the four Elemental suites, as well as the inclusion of an expanded appendix of symbols exploring Astrology, Runes, and the Latin Alphabet. The new edition of the self-published ‘Shadow Light’ Visual Tarot Guide is currently available in both paperback and hardcover editions from Amazon.com
