This summer has been a season of deep immersion, reflection, and creation. With the completion of the Archive of Light, I’ve gathered together the pieces of a cycle that has carried me through waters both vast and mysterious. Each work became a record of the inner tides — visions, songs, symbols, and stories that rose and carried me toward new thresholds. The Archive stands now as a completed lantern, a vessel holding the glow of what has been.

The Archive of Light marked the end of my summer cycle, a cycle that demanded both surrender and resilience. There were days when the waves felt overwhelming, but always, light revealed itself again — in dreams, in song, in creation.

🌑 Turning Toward a New Season: The Alchemist’s Harvest 🌑

Now the wheel turns. The season of harvest begins. Autumn calls forth not only gathering and gratitude, but also transformation — the alchemy of turning what has grown into what can endure.

My new cycle is named: The Alchemist’s Harvest.This theme will anchor the next chapter of my work — blending the theatrical, the symbolic, and the handmade. I will be stepping fully into my seasonal role as The Alchemist, a character and artist weaving enchantment into both costume and craft. My apothecary-styled stage room will be filled with bottles, baubles, books, and ornaments — each one created to carry a story, a spell, or a spark.

Alongside this, new collections of ornaments and gift sets will emerge, as well as music and imagery that speak to the mystery and magic of the harvest season.

🌕 Looking Ahead 🌕

Through the Looking Sphere: The Grotto of Reflections — the latest chapter of AnnaBella’s journey is now complete, with new illustrated pages available to explore.
The Alchemist’s Harvest Collection — a seasonal line of baubles, potions, and ornaments, each designed as part of my apothecary vision.
Haunt Season Role — I will be embodying The Alchemist in a live theatrical setting, bringing the apothecary to life as a room of wonders.
Music & Storytelling — the continuation of albums and song cycles, weaving ancestral rhythms, dream-visions, and spoken word into a seasonal soundtrack.

🍂 In Closing 🍂

As I close the Archive of Light, I do so with gratitude for all it revealed. As I step into The Alchemist’s Harvest, I do so with anticipation for all that is yet to grow.

This is the work of seasons, cycles, and thresholds — each one building upon the last, each one preparing the way for the next.

The lantern is set down. The harvest torch is lifted. A new season begins.
