Product Description
"We had many saints, many heroes, both female and male, but I want to speak here of the saints and heroes of the gay tribes. For this is a period of human history that has been lost through time, whose return is vitally needed. For you know the heroes of the other tribes. But of this small, sacred tribe, whose history has been obscured, you remember nothing."

So tells acclaimed author Andrew Ramer in Two Flutes Playing. Within these pages can be found insight and wisdom. Ramer serves as a mythologist for gay men, providing evidence to the harmony of gender, love and sex. A new introduction by the author reveals why this book's timeless message has once more returned to print as the inaugural title in the White Crane Spirituality Series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Flutes...Amazing!, September 16, 2005

By	Thomas Lloyd Sanders "Spirit freak" (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Two Flutes Playing: A Spiritual Journeybook for Gay Men (Paperback)

I picked this up on a business trip; I haven't been able to put it down. I've spent my life looking at the journey of a gay man. This book is amazing. My partner and I have practiced some of the healing techniques from this book, and they work! I have reconnected to the "gay" ancestors because of this book. The amazing thing is, while the author was writing this book, many of us were receiving the same message. Men Loving Men have something vital to give to humankind, and it's time we start living like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "MUST HAVE" FOR MALE INTIMACY, June 12, 2001

By	Michael Bails (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Two Flutes Playing: A Spiritual Journeybook for Gay Men (Paperback)

I was recommended this book after having taken a Body Electric workshop a few weeks before. From the first page I began to re-live the entire bonding rituals that we had experienced over that weekend. How to connect, how to communicate, and how to intimately bond on a higher plane! Although some of the prose is repetitive, it helps instill a spiritual base on which the reader can pull from. A definite "must have" book for the gay tribe who would like to interact spiritually and emotionally!

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and Deeply Moving, September 4, 2000

By	"hungfob" (Boston) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Two Flutes Playing: A Spiritual Journeybook for Gay Men (Paperback)

Tonight, my partner and I read sections of Andrew Ramer's Two Flute Playing together. It was a moving experience for both of us to read a loud to ourselves, a chapter tittle A Ritual for Male Lovers. This chapters, like other chapters of this book, gives very poetic as well as practical ways of understanding, experiencing, and living a life of Gay Love.
