Sus partidarios afirman que sus libros son veraces en su contenido, o que al menos constituyen obras de valor literario y antropológico. Sus críticos señalan por el contrario que sus libros son una farsa, trabajos de ficción, y que no son verificables como obras de antropología, al contrario de lo que el autor afirmaba. Harris, De Mille y otros fundamentan errores en cuanto a las tradiciones yaquis, y De Mille demuestra que en varias ocasiones las fechas en que los libros de Castañeda afirman que estuvo con Don Juan en México, estaba en la UCLA. Dicho antropólogo y escritor aseguraba haberse convertido en un chamán Nagual tolteca tras un intenso entrenamiento de modificación de la conciencia y su percepción, que incluía el uso ritual de enteógenos. Sus libros, que tienen un carácter sincrético ya que son mezcla de autobiografía, alucinógenos, rituales toltecas, misticismo y religión, han tenido un tremendo éxito de ventas, tanto que hoy en día son traducidos a los más variados idiomas del mundo.

From the Publisher:
Castaneda at his best.
From the Inside Flap:
Carlos CastaÒeda is an anthropologist who has dedicated thirty years of his life to studying the world of shamans who lived in Mexico in ancient times. He has written ten books on this subject, during and after his apprenticeship with don Juan Matus, a Yagui Indian shaman from Mexico.
This book is a collection of quotes derived from those books. The quotations, by themselves, show a strand of continuity, which was not dictated by the teacher, don Juan Matus, nor by the student, Carlos CastaÒeda. It seems to be an independent trend set in motion by the shamans of old Mexico themselves.
Accompanying the quotations, Carlos CastaÒeda has written his personal commentaries. Together, the quotations and commentaries create a counterpoint of ideas that will be of great interest to the reader.
