Cohen's Charge (via Buffy)

Always worthwhile reminder from Leonard Cohen and Buffy Ste. Marie.

Is this where "God[dess] is alive, magic is afoot" first originates? (This first was a passage in a Cohen novel, c. 1966, Beautiful Losers)

Cohen identifies as Buddhist, and I've heard him interviewed discussing alchemy, Transcendentalism and Judaic prophethood (maybe with Terri Gross, in which case it would be archived at npr.org under Fresh Air.  I think I've heard him call himself "mystic".

Buffy, too, is a wholy, wholy woman.


 

thanks to [info]ivyluna for today's happy Cohen prompt

(Do "happy" and Cohen material go together?  Yes!) 

Here's the fiercer modern Buffy:

I edited to add the "fiercer, modern" Wounded Knee video.

I listened to this on vinyl until I wore the record out. :)
