- There was a garden
In the beginning
Before the fall
Before Genesis
There was a tree there
A tree of knowledge
Sophia would insist
You must eat of this
Original sin?
No, I don't think so
Original sinsuality
Original sin?
No, it should be
Original sinsuality
Original sin?
No, I don't think so
Original sinsuality
Yaldaboath
Saklas
I'm calling you
Samael
You are not alone
I say
You are not alone
In your darkness
You are not alone
Baby
You are not alone
- – Tori Amos, The Beekeeper: Original Sinsuality
The Denver Post reports; "Tori Amos writes in her memoirs Tori Amos: Piece by Piece about the importance of Gnosticism to her personal growth."
Amos' pal Neil Gaiman (he moved into a house owned by Amos and her husband to write American Gods) has long been suspected of being a closet-Gnostic, and there may be a third degree due to the acquaintance (I read they were friends) of Gaiman with the Gnostic V for Vendetta and Promethea author Alan Moore.
Tori Amos' music has accompanied some very pivotal times of my life; one adopts such artists and their mediated sympathies as old friends. And she's not Tom Cruise, which is a definite plus.
Now on to the inevitable conversion of Scarlett Johansson, and my plan will be complete.

Don't think she was all that much in the closet, even.
Amen! Brother. ;)

I am so right by your side. And then onto Keira Knightley right? Please?
now you've sparked my interest in tori amos. I've been needing some new music
There's an interesting moment in a concert where she sings: You are not my mother you are not Sophia. This was in response to the god's laws that men inforce upon us.
I am a huge Toriphile and I instinctually listen to Tori Amos every time I read this blog
