LADY GAGA: Why YOU should hate her too.

This is just a silly little post, I will probably move onto more serious topics later.
Sorry about lack of posts-- two days ago was my birthday, and yesterday I drove for 5 hours straight, up to Virginia. I had little time to do any remarkable research, thus, I cannot THINK of a serious blog topic.

So, let's get moving -- Lady Gaga. I have to admit, her new song "Applause" is catchy, I have deeper reasons to hate all her songs. It started when she released her new song called "Judas". Just the name alone raised my eyebrow. I decided one bored afternoon of mine to watch the music video... How bad can it be, right? RED FLAG. In the music video, Lady Gaga portrays herself as Mary Magdalene, with a modern-day Jesus and Jerusalem. Here, watch the video with me, and I'll point out all of the things NOT historically correct. Video link:    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wagn8Wrmzuc

So as it starts off, don't you just love it? (Sarcastic). All of the 12 apostles are there, and Gaga is on the back of Rick Gonzalez, who is playing Jesus, as they ride into the sunset in a goddamn motorcycle. (Judas then picks his wedgie, so forth and so forth.)
For some reason, John is portrayed with a muscular black man, which is obviously quite wrong, because from my observation, John is fem and pale.

OK-- Now she's singing. I could go on for years about the hideousness of this frame, but there is one thing I found VERY disrespectful -- The "Bejeweled" crown of thorns. Seriously? (Oh, and of course, name drop.)

So then she says, "Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain"... Jesus? "Even after three times he betrays me". Just for future reference, PETER lied three times, but JUDAS betrayed Jesus. Everyone knows that.

So, let's move on to those red undies with 2 HUGE crosses glued to the nipples. No. Just No. Do you know just HOW horrible you're being? Woman back then could not even let down their HAIR -- HAIR. No boobs, legs, arms, NOTHING. *Takes deep breath* Woo. 
 
"Bring him down, down -- a king with no crown." Just, no.

Skipping a little, LIPSTICK GUN. WHAT. ON. EARTH.

Now, we skip to a scene were Gaga is... rubbing her "under boobs" while she anoints "Jesus'" feet. I think I will go barf now. For a while. My only comment: Boyy would things have been interesting if this really happened at Parisee's house. Remember kids: "What happens at Pharisee's house, STAYS at Pharisee's house."
 Off that sick note, let's move along.

Now, final comment: What is this song even ABOUT? If Mary was married to Jesus or not, she defiantly would NOT two-time men! Honestly! Holy bride, control yourself! (Sorry). I was showing this to a friend, and she laughed and yelled, "She's 'minajing' JESUS!" That cracked me up.

Alllll right, let's stop now. So turn off your Gaga, and listen to less "sinful" music. 

Thanks for reading! Sorry for the silly post... I'll promise a better one next time. Kay?

Magdalene's life - part 4

Hello everyone, sorry I didn't post yesterday. Ah, I'm not very busy anymore -- I'm sitting in my hotel room and I am more than ready to write! I loved writing about non-canonical gospels such as I did two posts before. I think I might do that again...

Never mind! My brain is not very organized right now, I think I need a coffee. Relatively speaking of coffee, Starbucks to be correct, did anyone know that in fact a mermaid is a often symbolism for Mary Magdalene? This sparked another question of mine -- remember last post I mentioned that artists portray Mary as a redhead, representing sinfulness?

 

 No, this isn't coincidental AT ALL. 

A. Redheaded. Mermaid. Named Ariel. 

  As a little girl, I never liked princess' or Disney, for that matter. It's true. But, my gosh, this stopped me in my tracks when I was into mystical creatures. (Such as mermaids, fairies, elves and what not.) First of all, the name "Ariel" means this:   "Means 'lion of God' in Hebrew. In the Old Testament it is used as another name for the city of Jerusalem." 

It gos' further -- Ariel is a mermaid, constant symbolism for Magdalene. Now, I never watched "The Little Mermaid", but I did read this:  "In the film, the little mermaid does not carry a book and a mirror by accident. These are icons readily identified in Medieval art. The mirror is not just a symbol for feminine vanity but represents the role of the material world (Mater, mother, matter) to manifest the Divine in "the flesh," as the moon mirrors the sun. The book represents all natural and spiritual law -- science and revelation -- and the seeking of wisdom." 

Cool huh? -- Hold on, it's gets weirder. In the movie, In Ariel’s grotto, there is an image of her where she touches a painting, saying the line, “what’s a fire, and why does it, what’s the word… burn?” This painting is by Georges de la Tour and is called Magdalen of the Night Light. What? Coincidence? I don't think so. 

So - officially - Mary is best Disney princess. Let's end this post on a nice GoM (Gospel of Mary) quote, shall we?

   Mary said, “If Christos can appear as a male, then surely Christos can appear as a female. Those who deny holiness in womanhood do not understand holiness in manhood or womanhood but are sorely bound to ignorance. Do not believe the father-of-lies, but believe in the Mother Spirit whose name is the Spirit of Truth and Comforter!” 

"Sorely bond to ignorance"... Tell em', girlfriend. 

Alright, thanks for reading everyone! Let's see if I can find divine feminine in anything else, alright? 'Till next time!
