The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge by Carlos Castaneda

adventurous dark medium-paced

2.5

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.
