“Jess offers us a fierce, wild, brave, delicious, and loving insight into the goddesses and into ourselves."
—Winslow Eliot, PhD, metaphysician, and author of Be Still.
Goddess Alpha: Directions Home is a textile compendium of embroidered images and stories about goddesses, beginning with Artemis, the virginal hunter, and progressing to the ostentatious Eos, the goddess of dawn, and Hecate, the healer. It concludes with Xihe, the mother of ten Suns (sons) who take turns bringing light to Earth, and the Zorya sisters, who are responsible for watching over the beast in the sky to prevent it from devouring the universe. Each of the 26 goddesses provides guidance on homing in on our direction in life, as well as on how to creatively undertake tasks of invention and inspiration. Furthermore, the stories of these goddesses lead to insights that help us discover our own soulful nature and the profound truths residing within our innermost being.
Jessica Theroux is an artist and educator acclaimed for her ability to blend personal joys and freedoms with her creative endeavours, historical studies, and a profound spiritual bond with the feminine divine. Through her mastery of needlework, lineart drawings, and poetic expression, she shines a light on the power that resides within us all.
Accompanying this book is a live and video workshop series,
"Beyond the Pattern: Originality in Needlework Art." (coming soon)
