 QUEEN "BLOODY" MARY I
Born in 1516 to England's King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, Mary lived quiet life as a royal princess until about 1527 when the king began to seek annulment of his marriage to her mother.

 Essence: what you never knew about mary - Mary J. Blige - Interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Mary: When a person tells you they could murder you, when they're beating on you for no reason, when you're getting chased with straight-up weapons, those are major signs.
Mary: Even after that relationship it still took a number of situations for me to say "Lord, I need you." But in a nutshell it was Jesus Christ who helped Mary J. Blige.
Mary: I just don't believe I went through the hell I went through for nothing--hating myself, knowing that the answer to all my suffering lay in me and that there was something wrong with these people but that there had to be a deficiency within me spiritually.

 Mary, Mary
Missing Mary's most eloquentchapters are the two in which Spretnak shows how deposing Mary is just one aspect of the Church's historic "Goddess Problem," and here she does not mince words.
Had they not insisted on increasingly seeing in Mary the Goddess-like powers of efficacious compassion that complement, yet do not overshadow, the spiritual authority of the male Savior, it is likely that "the Jewsus cult" would not have survived much longer than Mithraism.
Indeed, "in Mary the extremely ancient female expression of the sacred has been kept alive in the West." (175) Spretnak goes on to explore Mary's roots in the goddesses which preceded her.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Devotion To the Heart of Mary
The consideration of Mary's interior life and the beauties of her soul, without any thought of her physical heart, does not constitute our devotion; still less does it consist in the consideration of the Heart of Mary merely as a part of her virginal body.
The history of the devotion to the Heart of Mary is connected on many points with that to the Heart of Jesus; nevertheless, it has its own history which, although very simple, is not devoid of interest.
Little by little, in consequence of the application of the Canticle of the loving relations between God and the Blessed Virgin, the Heart of Mary came to be for the Christian Church the Heart of the Spouse of the Canticles as well as the Heart of the Virgin Mother.

 Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary Review
While Ben is away, Mary offers a fisherman some drugged coffee; he struggles, knocking her hairpin from her hand, but she manages to stab him to death with a knife, then drinks his blood.
Mary (rather improbably nearby) recognizes the man in fl as her father, whose face is horribly disfigured.
Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary is often referred to as a "vampire film without vampires." The exact malady that she and her father suffer from is never clearly explained: Carradine's speech about his "veins" and his brain being crushed is hardly enlightening.

 MARY SINGS THE PRAISES OF GOD
This song is the Virgin's response to the mystery of the Annunciation: the angel had invited her to rejoice and Mary now expresses the exultation of her spirit in God her Saviour.
In the presence of the powerful and merciful Lord, Mary expresses her own sense of lowliness: "My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden" (Lk 1:47-48).
With a similar expression, Mary makes known her situation of poverty and her awareness of being little before God, who by a free decision looked upon her, a humble girl from Nazareth and called her to become the Mother of the Messiah.

 Bloody Mary, Mary Worth and other variants of a modern legend - MythologyWeb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Of course, "Bloody Mary" is more of a description than a name, so it's possible that the term could have been chanted in the ritual to summon the ghost while believing her real name to be something else.
Interestingly, in three of the stories in which the spirit's name was Bloody Mary she was specifically described as being a close relative of Satan (wife, sister or daughter), which might indicate an overlapping of the two different traditions.
When I asked her if this was some part of the legend or why she thought this would be the case, she said it was probably just that the party she was at when she was told this had been held on a Friday.

To this law the difficulties of Mary Ward were mainly due, when on the propagation of her institute in Flanders, Bavaria, Austria, and Italy, she applied to the Holy See for formal approbation.

Susan Hitchcock begins "Mad Mary Lamb" with what she calls "The Dreadful Scene Imagined": One Thursday afternoon in 1796, while preparing roast mutton and turnips, Mary Lamb killed her mother with a carving knife as she sat in her favorite chair.
In the aftermath of her gory crime, Mary became a pioneer of literature, a solace to her brother, a woman famous for her generosity and good sense.
It was a life of "double singleness," a relationship with all the fondness and reciprocity of marriage, but shorn of hierarchy, "a balancing act of mutual care and alternating excesses," writes Hitchcock.

This devotion to the core mission of their startling songcraft is what makes Mary Mary's music and personal presence so continually refreshing, a devotion sometimes lacking in the sounds and lifestyles of other artists.
