CARLOS CASTANEDA AND SUPERNATURAL

The books of Carlos Castenada, american writer of peruvian origins, in particular the four first ones, touched a large public since his death in 1998.

The Teachings of Don Juan (1968)
A separate Reality (1971)
The travel to Ixtlan (1972)
Stories of Power (1974)

They speak about Shamans extraordinary capacities, magic operations, substances hallucinogens as peyotl and psilocybes.

In some words a complete way of life in harmony with the mysterious sides of nature.

These works present a romantic transfiguration of the tribal life beyond any Western civilization and rational though.

They also promise that this alternative way of life did not sink in the lapse of memory and that it is still accessible today.
