first, I think it's hilarious that this guy earned his MA with these stories. perhaps it's a precedent thesis. after this, no more fiction please! I think it'd do well rebranded (and perhaps enjoyed more) as a psychological thriller in which a deeply lonely man is manipulated into letting himself be spiritually tortured by strangers for four years.
that being said, I didn't love don Juan. every time he spoke I thought, "just answer the question, okay? please don't play with me right now..." I'd like to (baselessly) theorize that Castaneda really did do all of those drugs and don Juan was the result of a bad trip.

Juan Castaneda describe minuciosamente el viaje de aprendizaje que “sin intención” emprendió junto a uno de los brujos más experimentados en el uso y manejo de aliados psicotrópicos.
No deja de ser complejo, principalmente para quien no se ha aventurado en ello, pero comparte todo sobre su experiencia… leer cada una de sus vivencias, las enseñanzas de don Juan y cómo lo fueron transformando… te transporta, te lleva en su viaje y te mantiene en curiosidad sin soltar la intención de realmente estudiarlo a seriedad.
Un tema reservado para los originarios que cada vez está más de vuelta y abierto nuevamente a exploración.

love reading about psy plants.
This one covers a lot about peyote and datura. The way don juan described them , the procedure to plant and pluck them, the experiences when one takes them for the first time was jarring

The Teachings of Don Juan is an interesting exploration of Mexican Shamanism and the psychological impacts and experience of consuming and familiarizing with three hallucinogenics - Datura, Mushrooms and Peyote. Interwoven with themes of growth, self knowledge and apprenticeship, this book would be informative for anyone seeking to understand the master/student relationship through narrative form.
