Fascinating and engaging read! Unfortunately, I found out after reading it that he probably made up the whole story. :(

El autor narra sus vivencias al internarse en el adiestramiento del hombre sabio.
Interesante, psicodélico y caótico. La narración ha sido difícil de seguir, no es un libro al uso, son transcripciones de vivencias e impresiones, yo esperaba más detalle sobre la visión del mundo desde la perspectiva de otra cultura y menos describe impresiones personales.

If you’re looking for an in-depth analogy for Jedi teachings, this is your book: it very clearly informs the core philosophy of that corner of the original Star Wars. In a more objective way, though, it’s just kind of hippie nonsense. I give it a dating somewhere in the middle. ⭐️⭐️ 1/2

Saw this title and picked it up thinking it was an analysis of Byron. Yeah uh it wasn't. But it was an entertaining read with several nuggets of wisdom

I'm not even sure what I read but might continue the series nonetheless.

Charlatan or no, Castaneda's stories seize me like a riptide into the depths of magical realism. Think Harry Potter on peyote.

I still wonder why do I even read his books, because, will, they are full of teachings of other worlds. This one, for example, exposes knowledge about three hallucinogenic plants, one, the peyote, which leads the one who takes it to a teacher, 1CMescalito 1D. The other two take the brujo/diablero to an ally, whether he takes the Datura (whose power is feminine) or the little smoke (prepared from a certain mushroom, whose power is masculine).
