"Condor, Sacred Places, Circe" is a set of poems and stories about a magical world standing within or behind the sense world. "Condor" is a fictional set of storypoems that begins with the winter solstice initiation of a Condor shaman, continuing with his later encounter with Juan Cabrillo (the explorer who claimed California for the Spanish), and concluding on the Mystery of Death known to the Condor. "Sacred Places" is a set of poems touching the magic in nature. And "Circe" tells of an afterlife meeting between Ulysses (Odysseus) with Circe (the witch of Homer's Odyssey), wherein Circe revives Ulysses after his death and plans a sightseeing tour through Tennyson's poetry--the point being that poetic thought becomes manifest in the after-life. As a set, "Condor, Sacred Places, Circe" variously lifts the veil separating outer "seeming" and the life within. The booklet would likely appeal to more mature readers, but is not inappropriate for younger readers with shamanic, other-worldly, or philosophical interests.

Eventually working together, their findings lead them to shed light on a 45-year-old mystery.
