Favorite Movies These ~favorite~ questions are too broad to answer with any depth so I'll list a few relatively recent films I liked that relate the the Qadishtu Path: "Angel-A" (2005), "Dangerous Beauty" (1997), "Fur"(2006), "Love In the Time of Cholera" (2007), "Perfume" (2006) and the great documentary about gender and identity "Red Without Blue" (2007).
Favorite Music The blues, R&B, and almost anything by the Velvet Underground. Some of the VU's later imitators (like The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Raveonettes) were pretty good too. The Velvet's song "Some Kinda Love" would be an appropriate anthem for the modern Q Movement: "no kinds of love are better than others ..."
Favorite Books "To Kill a Mockingbird" is my all-time favorite book, but I consider myself a voracious and eclectic reader who will enjoy almost anything that might teach me something. One of my favorite Qadishtu-related books is Daniel Odier's "Tantric Quest An Encounter With Absolute Love" and I think Feuerstein's "Sacred Sexuality" is a very good overview book on historical Q antecedants.
