Behind Cyclical Roots is Rachael Amber,

The Eco-Mystic Artist

Communing with and creating through our interconnected nature.

About the Interconnected Intuitive

Rachael Amber (they/she) is a queer, neurodivergent, latine artist and intuitive who channels nature-centric art & healing tools to raise awareness and foster connection between all living beings.

Their creative focus comes to life through illustration, design, intuitive arts, writing, social + environmental advocacy, elemental mysticism, decolonization, and mental & menstrual mindfulness. Most of their artwork focuses on depicting the beauty of nature, cyclical living & the energetic interconnection between ourselves, one another & the natural world.

Inspired by an unavoidable intuition, and a deep connection to the complexity of nature , they were guided to follow lunar & seasonal wisdom to find more flow, stability & phasic awareness in both the inner & outer cycles of life.

Now this passion to support others in their healing journeys of embodiment, empowerment, education, self-acceptance & (re-)connection is shared through the annual independent publication of Cycles Journal, the Embodied Ecosystems Tarot & Oracle Deck, and other artistic tools & intuitive offerings.

All of my work is a co-creation with nature. I am the channel, the hands, the heart through which I can speak for the trees, bees and spirits all around... and I'm so in love with this role I play in the wise wild world.

...It’s really important for me to honor my earthly origins and also recognize that I live on unceded Wabankai lands & grew up on Lenape lands. I know I am an humble guest here and simultaneously an integral part of the larger whole - and so I strive to honor my role.

🌎 My family lineages are rooted from Borikén/Puerto Rico, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and in the past various places on the Iberian peninsula, other parts of Europe & around the Mediterranean sea.

🧑‍🎨🌿🌕 My creative focus comes to life through illustration, design, intuitive arts, writing, social + environmental advocacy, ecology and mental & menstrual mindfulness.

♾️💫♻️ Most of my artwork focuses on depicting the energetic interconnection between ourselves, one another & the natural world.

🪐🌲📿✍️ I'm also deeply interested in astrology, divination, spiritual + religious intersections, Earth-based lineages, Eco-Dharma, embodiment / somatics, language, lesser-told histories & much more.

💧🟢 My favorite thing is probably a tie between walking on moss and being in or near a waterbody.

🐱 I'm in love with reading, writing, and creating. Also cats, bees, birds, ferns, pine trees, and the moon.

🏡 I was raised in northern NJ and I now reside in Western Maine/Wabanaki Lands in the lakes & mountains region.

🧑‍🎓 I lived & went to college in Philadelphia at UArts (R.I.P.) for illustration & design with a minor in creative writing, and studies in Zen Buddhism, movement, bookmaking + printmaking.

🤷 I once said I'd never work for myself, but here I am - I couldn't not. (I tried interning at some design places but it didn't feel quite right for me.)

📚 I love words & images combined - I started off making zines before making Cycles Journal.

I create grounding goods & rooted reminders to help sensitive beings find wisdom and support in the ever-changing cycles of life, even when they feel resistance and fear around change.
