Publisher's Summary

For over 40 years, Carlos Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan has inspired audiences to expand their world view beyond traditional Western forms. Originally published as Castaneda’s master’s thesis in anthropology, Teachings documents Castaneda’s supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Juan Matus. Dividing the work into two sections, Castaneda begins by describing don Juan’s philosophies, then continues with his own reflections.

Critic Reviews

"It's impossible to view the world in quite the same way after reading him.... If Castaneda is correct, there is another world, a sometimes beautiful and sometimes frightening world, right before our eyes at this moment - if only we could see." ( Chicago Tribune)

wordy and robotic.

The story was fascinating and a very beautiful way to look at plant wisdom and magic. however this book was wordy and dry, I liked the book quiet a bit until I picked up on the strong of subtle sexism throughout and one blatant sexist point of view... For me that spoiled the book

Fascinating. Enchanting.

Fascinating. Enchanting.
A whisp upon a dream of knowing something deep inside that is like an echo or a memory of once upon a time.

question everything change everything

well written excellent field notes I have read it through twice because of the information available within the covers I perceived more out of it the second time. and I feel even now I have only scratched the surface.
