Editorial Review:
A YAQUI WAY OF KNOWLEDGE
The teachings of don Juan is the story of a remarkable journey: the first awesome steps on the road to becoming a "man of knowledge" -- the road that continues with A Separate Reality and Journey to Ixtlan.
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel, looking, looking, breathlessly." -- Don Juan

Rating:  - personal fav
These books are just classics! Takes you on a journey of your own I first starting reading the series when I was 16...now 34 but I often get the urge to pick them back up I get something new out of it every time. Inspires me to see things in a new light.
Rating: - Merely A First Step Towards Being a Man of Knowledge
I first read this book a few months ago before reading the rest of the series, and it was a mind-blowing read.
"Teachings of Don Juan" is the first of many books by anthropologist Carlos Castaneda to which he revealed his teacher-student relationship and experiences with Yaqui Sorcerer by the name of Don Juan. The dialogues and experiences lay within this book are rather insightful read.

Rating: - Great reading, but Castaneda is not what he claimed to be!
Great reading, no doubt. I read the first 4 of his books and loved them all. However, this is 20 years ago and i have studied many more paths of mysticism in the meantime.

There is also serious doubt that he ever actually experienced some/much of what he claims to have done.
Furthermore, Carlos turned ... Read More
Rating:  - An excuse for a drug trip
Carlos Castaneda creates an interesting scenario and has appealing characters in this, his first book, yet the title is deceptive. Castaneda meets Don Juan, a Yaqui sorceror, and is in some mysterious way drawn to him. Don Juan agrees to allow Castaneda to be his apprentice, and learn the ancient ways to become "A Man of Knowledge." Oddly, the way that Don Juan sees the path to becoming "a man of Knowledge" is through hallucinogenic drugs including Peyote, Datura and Mushrooms. Castaneda uses these ... Read More
Rating: - What is Defined as Fact or Fiction?
My intent here is not to add to the many reviews that have been already written. I've read most of them, and every opinion, has been subjectively given.
I will simply say, that having studied these books, back when I was in college, literally transfixed me, as they did to many other thousands of readers!
Countless books, throughout history, have been cloaked in the form of fiction, for the author's own reasons, either to do with their safety, or attempting to avoid controversy! ... Read More
