I having just recently explored the older posts on teh forums have made the discovery that Loreena appeared briefly in the film "Heaven and Earth" I saw the clip from youtube and thought she was quite good. Also I've been watching the mists of avalon, and am thinking that Loreena would be a wonderful Lady of the Lake, or a priestess in general... okay so I'm babbling a bit but it was just a thought that came to mind...

I will check the movie out and see if the Lady of Quinlan Road is actually on it, but I don't if it's really Loreena McKennitt. It doesn't look like the Loreena we know.

Remember that the movie is old. People changes in their looks, so also Loreena. Just look at the "The visit" videos at Youtube (the interview, Mask and Mirror put up the link on the message board).
I am sure that's Loreena in "Heaven on earth".

Hey, Malin:
I did see "Heaven on Earth" over Christmas break and it was very sad movie, but the music was beautiful and of course, it was written by Loreena herself. She did appear in the movie actually...I say approximately eighty-five minutes into the film and ninety-five minutes.
I remember her saying in the film when she was travelling with another man after a boy asked them a favor for another small handicapped boy: "It's not much to ask, Herbert. Deaf and dumb. Think of it if it were you."

She reminds me of the leanan sidhe, the dark muse. She just has to be a faery of some sort or other.

Loreena, you seem to be a lot of things...

Funny this topic comes up when I am writing a story in which the queen of the elves is also the highest priestess of their order. Her discription sort of mirrrors Loreena. She was my inspiration for the woman. Her name is Idrill Súrion.

This discussion of Ms. Loreena McKennitt being a goddess makes me uneasy

I do humble apologize for not making this clear: I see the same personality traits in Loreena in Corn Mother and Kwan Yin, not to say she IS Corn Mother or Kwan Yin, those rolls are already filled.
I haven't seen any violent tendencies in her that would cause her to fight big battles such as Joan of Arc did.
Is this a better way of saying it? Loreena is a perfect example of a living Corn Morther, Kwan Yin, Demeter, Hecate, Iktoma, Nana, Bridgit (or Brigit or Brigid), and Amaterasu.
I hope that clears things up. We can only strive towards being better humans and the goddesses help me on my journey (never-ending it seems), and I see them in Loreena too.
Which goddess is close to you?
Bright Blessings,
Gina

I see her as a rare woman that share these gifts with us to reflect those gifts with family, friends, and anyone we meet.

I know exactly what you are referring too Gina. I feel Loreena is a woman with great motherly qualities, I know that on my journey to paganism Loreena has "walked" with me much of the way. She also has fed my interest in the religions and culures of the world, and I blame her for my tons of books on greek, mesopotamiam, celtic, and roman history.

Blessed Be

Why not if she could play St. Joan of Arc (even though she will have to say "Pardon my French" when she can't speak French)or perhaps even better--the legendary Lady Godiva? Other ideas I have are Queen Guenevere, "the Lady of Shallott", Lady Macbeth (if you are looking to reflect Loreena's dark side), a fairy, a fairy tale character, a scullary maid or a beautiful red-haired princess who falls in love with a brave knight.

I am sorry Loreenya but I am curious why such a discussion would make a person uneasy. Oh well, certain things bother some people no harm done.

Blessed Be

Thank you for correcting me Loreenya I did not realize I had gotten the title wrong. I agree Loreena would be a wonderful angel(she is one anyway) I also think she would be able to portray a goddess beautifully as well.

Uh, pardon me, LoreeanMcKennittFan, but the politically correct title is "Heaven on Earth", not "Heaven and Earth". Moreover, I would say that Ms. McKennitt would look stupendous in a movie now. I would prefer her to see her play as one of the main roles. What I have mind is an angel, sent by God to sing for weary souls, because to us, she is an angel! May our merciful God bless His beautiful child, Loreena.

THANKS for telling me about the video on youtube!! That was great (and what clothes! Looks great). Her soft voice fits so perfect into that scene! I've gotta see the whole movie

I agree with you about your last words, she would fit perfectly into roles like that
