I also hope you have stood and wondered at the tiny bed on a life-green patch of delicate carpet...in a home that protects it from all thta could harm it. The Field Trip in the Labyrinth is also another main path to take - in life and in the cornfield maze. The Field of Sun is a field that reminds you of warmth, energy, love, friendship, respect and anything else that makes you smile. The Field of Vision represents spiritual awakening, an active third eye, wisdom and anything that positively broadens your mind and reinvents you . And then...there is also the Strawberry Field...forever. ASTROLOGY The other treasures that you have found or sensed in the Labyrinth, all of you can care for in you memory of O.Z.O.R.A. 2012. The cornfield and its creatures and the people who helped it come The Sun in Leo, the Moon in Gemini, the Moon still connected to Jupiter, the planet to life will all keep you in a warm place in their hearts and minds, for having been here, for caring of luck, genersoity, prosperity and blessing. and sharing.

We wrote that Kangaroo was the first Hungarian shopper in 1999 here at the festival, but we Psybaba didn’t mention that Jirzij Gyuri was there to help him. Since then he has also created his own shop ’Psybaba’ in 2005 and if you look for him, and it’s a must, you can find him in the same place he first created his shop ever since. He says his musical profession basically started all the way back in elementary school, and he has been a DJ since 1996. The Hungarian psychedelic scene holds him to be another of the founding fathers. Under’Psybaba’ he has had a shop of Eastern delicacies and a record store for many years in the the heart of Budapest. You should remember him. He and the man with the name Garcy are also the well-known ‘Irgumburgum’ formation. 4
