Description
Carlos Castenada, under the tutelage of don Juan, takes us through that moment of twilight, through that crack in the universe between daylight and dark into a world not merely other than our own, but of an entirely different order of reality. To reach it he had the aid of mescalito, yerba del diablo, and humito – peyote, datura and mushrooms. But this is no mere recounting of hallucinatory experiences, for don Juan?s subtle manipulations have guided the traveller while his interpretations give meaning to the events that we, through the sorcerer?s apprentice, have the opportunity to experience.
?This is a true magic book. I was unable to read beyond the first chapter when I tried to use it as a textbook on hallucinogenics. Almost 10 years later I read it as a book on shamanism. It was a much better trip!? – David.
