Dear Mystic Family Circus,
I had the unique privilege to witness your wonderful work twice in the past five days - first at the "Not in Our Name" rally in Berkeley on Thursday and then again on Saturday at the Health and Harmony Festival. I want to really thank you for the peace messages you send out with your activism and presence through play, theater, prayer, and song. I am from Minnesota and used to feel similarly awed by a group called the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater in Minneapolis. I've been here in CA for four years now and your group is of very high caliber because your message is so authentic - you live your art and your art lives in you. I hope to see you around the Bay area more often - especially at more of the rally's and demonstrations. We need visionaries, playful and powerful progressive men and women of our global community to come out in full strength at this time in our history/herstory.
Adelante.With much respect and warmth to you all, Chris Curran

Greetings to All!
I'm new to N. Cal. and had the extreme pleasure of seeing you for the first time at Health and Harmony. You captivated me holding me spellbound throughout your performances, I even had to come back on Sunday just to see you all again. You all are one of the most creative and talented groups I've ever seen. I look forward to seeing you again soon, at the Pagan Pride fundraiser. May you all enjoy continued success in all your endeavors, and peace and happiness in your daily lives. Brightest Blessings Kevin

I was a mystic virgin
Then you took me
Again and again
To the edge of ancient fires
Where my soul was set free
There are no words
Flying through the ether
That can hold any meaning
Clear enough to know or see
The images that keep streaming
Through the crystal visions
Of my forever changed mind
You are my people
You are my deepest passion
You are my kind....
Of souls and warriors
Carrying peace as a fashion
But holding it longer than time
I lay my heart at your endless shores
And let your water wash me
I cry out in the dark of night
And know we are free
Together, in spirit so sublime
Blessings and thanks to you all
For being the vessel
For hearing the call
Of wolves and warriors
And the goddess herself
She will have stories to tell
Of mystic family circus legends
For future worlds
And unborn, kindred spirits
Will find strength in this
Your love freely given
Your dreams given life
And your lives lived in bliss
The smoke from my fire
Fills your night time sleep
I pray for the ancient ones
To fill your needs
To fill your bowls
And be the master of your keep
And I pray for your days
To be the dreams
You live while you sleep
So mark these words
And mark this day
Our paths will cross in another way
The way of love
Is all we need
And from this life I have been freed
Thank you more than words can say
And remember me when you pray
