Overview

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.
