Not exactly calling to them for help, but reminding them that she's aware of how her situation eventually resolves. Years later, she joined Lennon, McCartney, Jimi Hendrix and others in writing a tribute to "Rose Dover." As an aside, I think of the Family in terms of the Mystical Rose in the PARADISO. And I don't figure Tori herself as a Magdalene so much as a Beatrice, a private Gnosis. The best portrait of Tori Amos, in my opinion is William Blake's BEATRICE ON THE CAR, which is set in the Earthly Paradise and features Tori riding on what is analogous to the Markabah (God's Chariot-throne/Sophia's vehicle of Inspiration that Ezekiel witnessed abandoning the first Temple after King Josiah and the Deuteronomists purged the Ashtereh aspect of the Royal Cult), drawn by the four beasts/living creatures (Zoas, in Greek). This is how Blake threaded together EZEKIEL, the four Gospels, the PURGATORIO, and his own modernisation of Revelation in THE FOUR ZOAS. In my own experientially-based understandings, Blake also includes in his sewing-together of Spiritual History Ms. Tori Amos.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002008064470390082noreply@blogger.com
