I really don't think Joni is a Goddess religionist, but being one myself, I could tell she was aligning herself with the scene at least rhetorically and sympathetically in the song's voice, with such "DITS" lines as the one I cited yesterday: "In flames our prophet witches", among others. "We walked on the moon, you be polite" is another one-- the moon is held sacred in neo-Paganism, and usually envisioned as a goddess. Several months ago, before I got "sidetracked" from frequent participation here by too many professional projects, I posted some thoughts on this song in this list, as some of you may recall... will do so again in greater depth one of these days. >Ron was the only one who said he has a close relationship to God which he >thinks Joni does not - so my comment "How Dare you think you are more >enlightened" was to him. Ah, you mean my Witchy little rant was all for nothing, then?? ;-) Actually, what I wrote yesterday to clarify where I'm coming from was offered "in case", because I wasn't quite sure to whom you were addressing what, but I knew I must be included somehow, since you'd CCd a copy of your post to me. As for Ron's comments: if one envisions and defines "God" as some external personality, a being apart, specifically in the traditional Judeo-Christian mold, one might well observe that Joni doesn't seem to have a close relationship with "him"... of course, relative to that, there's the issue of whether "God" even exists in the form so many nowadays ascribe to "him", which might be one reason Joni (or many others, for that matter) don't relate closely to "him"... I myself believe the Divine is (or should be) within us as well as without us... in my view and experience, it's certainly accessible by humans, and Joni is a prime case of someone who manifests the Divine powerfully. Isn't that what it's all about, really? Not worshipping some external deity figure or great cosmic puppetmaster for his/her/its own sake, but manifesting the Deity Within to make a difference in the world, in our own lives, and in the lives of those we live with and love? In that sense, I'd say Joni has a very, very close relationship with God/dess. One of the closest! >My other comment was about Joni herself - I think people identify or >sympathise a lot with her, that is why many emails will say 'I'm sure Joni >would agree with me'. >Ha, it gives a new perspectiveon 'I see something of myself in everyone'... Ha, indeed... I've always loved that line, BTW... while I usually perform original and traditional material, that's one of Joni's songs I've been known to sing myself on occasion.

I like Joni because she's magical AND I am a Witch who happens to like her music! ;-) I wouldn't say Witches appreciate her music more than non-Witches... it seems to me Joni is appreciated and cherished by people of a number of orientations. But I think that is largely because most people at heart react to what is magical instinctively... the little kid in us still loves the idea of magic (as a quality of manifest divine energy, not mere hocus-pocus stuff) and knows magic when it sees it, no matter how old we get.

I feel that Joni has always been and still is entirely honest about two things: her search for love and her seeking for God. in truth, I think she has written far too much on both subjects to fit within one discussion on either.

After recording Black Crow in the studio, she has always performed the song changing the line "in search of love and music" to "in search of truth and beauty". I think the 'beauty' part was altered to encompass her visual art as well as her musical work. 'Truth' could certainly be construed as a spiritual quest, it certainly was in my case (the search for TRUTH as opposed to GOD). I think she realized early on that her 'great big eeeeeego' was going to forever be in the way of finding love - "I really don't know love at all".

Rolling Stones is reporting that Joni's new album will be released online. http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2006/10/23/joni-mitchell-read ing-rudyard-kipling-working-on-new-material/ They're quoting from these 2 articles. Ottwa Citizen http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=c5551bd3-2dea-4fc5-b5b 8-81115aab7836&k=4978&p=2 Uncut http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/uncut/news/8940 Joni Mitchell has announced that she has come out of self-imposed retirement and is currently recording material for a new album. In an interview with Canadian regional newspaper the Ottawa Citizen, Mitchell said, When the world becomes a massive mess with nobody at the helm, it's time for artists to make their mark. She says she aims to help bring "courage through tough times." The new album is still untitled, and Mitchell has said that she doesn't know when it will be released, but it is likely that the album will be released online. Mitchell is adamant that record companies will not make any money from anything she releases. She told the Ottawa Citizen: "The record labels are criminally insane... ugly, screwed up, crooked, uncreative, selfish. The forthcoming album will feature the same musicians she has been working with since 1972s For The Roses, including drummer Brian Blade, saxophonist Wayne Shorter and possibly pianist Herbie Hancock. Mitchell will play piano, electric and acoustic guitars and synthesizers herself. Lyrics for several songs are still being refined. "There's a lot of back and forth, back and forth," she said. "But it's coming." The new material that is completed, includes a song inspired by If, Rudyard Kipling's poem standing up for personal integrity. Mitchell has altered it slightly to make the message more relevant. She also gets political on new song Holy War, condemning war waged in the name of religion, and although no names are mentioned, it is clearly an open-ended attack on both terrorist groups and U.S. President George W. Bush. Joni Mitchell retired writing songs with social and political commentary after 1998's Taming the Tiger was mauled critically.
