Synopsis:

From “one of the most profound and influential thinkers of the century” (Deepak Chopra) comes the first groundbreaking book in the series that introduces don Juan Matus—a Yaqui Indian sorcerer whose teachings transcend the boundaries of conventional knowledge.

The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge is a captivating work of anthropology and spiritual exploration, first published in 1968. Presented as a first-person account of Castaneda's apprenticeship with a Yaqui shaman named don Juan Matus whom he meets in the deserts of Mexico, it blends mysticism and personal narrative, chronicling Castaneda's journey into the world of shamanism and his experiences with altered states of consciousness.

Through powerful rituals, psychoactive plants, and profound teachings, Castaneda begins to unravel the mysteries of perception, existence, and the nature of true knowledge. With every page, you’ll be drawn deeper into his quest to become a "man of knowledge"—someone who lives with unshakable purpose, clarity, and attunement to life’s hidden forces.

Perfect for seekers of spirituality, explorers of consciousness, or anyone curious about ancient traditions, this book is a touchstone of countercultural thought and a portal to a world of alternate realities. Whether you’re navigating your own spiritual path or just looking to lose yourself in a mind-expanding adventure, The Teachings of Don Juan is a timeless invitation to see the world through new eyes.
