| Sarah McLachlan – Mary Lyrics | 20 years ago |

As I'm currently on a Mary Magdalene kick, I relate it more to how no one really appreciated Magdalene... Jesus taught some things only to her, and the male apostles felt threatened that Jesus would choose a woman over them... "unselfish in her suffering she could not understand that no one seemed to have the time to cherish what was given" I dunno, just my interpretation. |

| Tori Amos – Past The Mission Lyrics | 20 years ago |

An interesting point: some pagan groups believe that Jesus and Mary Magdalene represent the balance of male and female, yin-yang, ect. There are also Gospels that were not included in the Bible, due to conspiracy within the Church, the which I will not delve into because my controversialtopic!senses are tingling. But, yeah... from another point of view, it could be Tori talking about trying to achieve a spiritual connection with the sacred feminine. Also, "roses" are commonly linked as a symbol for Mary Magdalene. ("I smell the roses...") I suppose "past the mission" (mission being where people are being taught christianity) and "she said she knew what my books did not, i thought she knew what's up" could mean that she was going outside the teachings of the Book to go into the story of Mary and Jesus that is so widely disputed, hearing the voice of Mary telling her "some things only she knows." Then again, I just finished reading The Da Vinci Code. So don't mind me. |
