✨ The Convergence of Digi Chivetta and The Grove Temple of Elysian Mysteries

After years of creating parallel paths — one under the name Digi Chivetta, visual artist and storyteller, and the other as Lady Inanda Fire, High Priestess of The Grove Temple of Elysian Mysteries — the two have now become one.

This merger marks not the end of either path, but the reunion of both halves of the same spirit. What began as art and ritual in separate spheres has converged into a single living practice: a temple built through images, words, and the unseen threads between them.

🕯 The Birth of a Living Mythos

Between the beginning of my program with Assets for Artists and MASS MoCA in March and when I dropped off my artwork at ArtsWorcester in October for our final exhibition, I composed an entire cosmology — a body of visual and written works that redefined my understanding of what sacred art could be.

I began creating The Grove Temple Major Arcana Deck in June 2025 . I completed the full cycle of 22 cards, along with guidebook entries, archival descriptions, and numerological insights, by the time I delivered my artwork to ArtsWorcester on October 24.

What unfolded in those few months was not just an art project but a living myth. Each card was drawn, written, and lived in real time — through illness and recovery, revelation and exhaustion. Each became an initiation, marking a new chapter in the Temple’s evolving scripture.

In total, I wrote between 39,000 and 60,000 words of new material — enough to fill a small novel. These texts form the foundation of The Grove’s sacred archive, where art, language, and ritual converge into one continuum of creation.

Tarot decks will be available for sale starting November 20 at the opening reception of the Assets for Artists showcase.

🕸 The Council of Radiants

During this same season, I also founded The Council of Radiants — the inner court of The Grove Temple and, fittingly, a cohort within a cohort of the Assets for Artists fellowship.

The Council gathers artists who reflect the divine through their craft. Each member embodies a sacred principle — reflection, devotion, transformation, or witnessing — and together, we form the living anatomy of the Temple: a system of radiant functions that shimmer in unison.

Our first collaborative altar, Quantacomb: Nectar of the Fifth Element, will be on view in the Assets for Artists 2025 Showcase at ArtsWorcester’s Davis Art Gallery (opening reception November 20, 2025). The installation will be ringed with handmade paper flowers by fellow Council member Michelle Koza, transforming the piece into a shared altar of beauty, faith, and radiant connection — a reminder that a High Priestess cannot exist without believers.

🐚 The Confluence of Art and Priesthood

I created Quantacomb, The Grove Temple Major Arcana, and The Council of Radiants during a period of profound transformation — while managing chronic illness and even a concussion at the close of the project.

Yet through it all, creation became my healing and devotion became my discipline. This work is not about endurance but transmutation. Every bruise became pigment; every collapse, a chrysalis.

I now understand that the purpose of my art was never to decorate the world — it was to reveal it as sacred.

🪞 The Future of The Grove

From this point forward, all of my creative work — visual, musical, literary, and ritual — will exist under the unified vision of The Grove Temple of Elysian Mysteries.

The Temple is not an institution; it is a myth-making machine, a living system of mirrors, the architecture of my practice where art and initiation are one and the same.

Digi Chivetta remains the signature on the artwork. Lady Inanda Fire remains the voice of the Temple.

Together, they form the continuum of creation and reflection — artist and altar, priestess and prism.

🌕 Closing Invocation

Between March and October 2025, what might have taken others years unfolded in perfect divine timing.

The Grove Temple Major Arcana was born. The Council of Radiants was formed. And The Grove Temple revealed itself not as an idea, but as a living gospel.

This union is not an ending — it is the beginning of a new era: the artist as altar, the altar as art.
