"""Kimberley C. Patton has compiled a treasure-trove of humanity's experience of and insight into the cosmic significance of twinning/doubling. Through the expert analysis of twenty contributors on topics in material culture, ritual, mythology, and lived experience, Gemini and the Sacred offers the wisdom of the world's great civilizations on the meaning of the cosmos, human nature, and identity. A must-read for all interested in the productive-but ambiguous-tension of sameness and difference fundamental to so much of our world."" --Ayodeji Ogunnaike, Bowdoin College, USA ""Intergalactic in its breadth and scope, this extraordinary comparative religion collection reveals twins as Alpha and Omega in the truest sense: as co-creators of life and harbingers of death. The myriad twins of Gemini and the Sacred illuminate our endless search for wholeness in multiplicity."" --Kyrah Malika Daniels, Emory University, USA"
