WORLD-RENOWNED BESTSELLING AUTHOR CARLOS CASTANEDA’S SELECTION OF his WRITINGS ON THE SHAMANS OF ANCIENT MEXICO
Near the end of his life, Carlos Castaneda gathered together and reviewed his seminal works on his training as a shaman initiate, recorded in a literary career that spans over thirty years.
The result is this groundbreaking collection of quotations — the essence of Carlos Castaneda, drawn from his landmark volumes including The Teachings of Don Juan, Journey to Ixtlan, A Separate Reality, and Tales of Power.
Enhanced with an introduction and original commentary by the author, this powerful work illuminates the shaman’s life as never before.
Castaneda’s words explore how the ancient shamans could literally touch and direct the wheel of time — a profound yet pragmatic tradition that can be felt even in our day.

Description

Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda soon immersed himself in the sorcerer’s magical world entirely.
Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along–that these plants are merely a means to understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one’s own.
In “Journey to Ixtlan,” Carlos Castaneda introduces readers to this new approach for the first time and explores, as he comes to experience it himself, his own final voyage into the teachings of don Juan, sharing with us what it is like to truly “stop the world” and perceive reality on his own terms.
