Carlos Castaneda's The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge and A Separate Reality are foundational works in modern spiritual and anthropological literature, chronicling the author's apprenticeship under the Yaqui shaman don Juan Matus. These compelling narratives blend personal experience, indigenous wisdom, and altered states of consciousness, offering readers a window into non-ordinary reality and the ancient practice of sorcery through powerful first-person accounts. Castaneda's exploration of shamanic rituals, peyote visions, and philosophical insights laid the groundwork for decades of interest in mystical and alternative spiritual paths. This listing includes both early mass-market paperbacks that together represent the beginnings of Castaneda’s influential legacy in the realm of consciousness and perception. A must-have for collectors of shamanic journey Castaneda books and seekers of esoteric knowledge.
