Just bear in mind they're all fiction and Castenada was such a liar he denied it for years. None of the practises related in the book are anything to do with actual native tradition - it's all just figments of a white mans imagination.

Thats right, blame it on the WHITE MAN Carlos Casteneda. The factuality of the books dont matter, what matters is what you take from the books, they are a great tool if trying to learn about yourself/tripping. The first book is The Teachings of Don Juan.

Yeah, the books are enjoyable enough, even if they aren't entirely factual. Well the first few anyways 
Good luck

I am very glad that I learned about this I was taking Castaneda very seriously. Sad thing is I don't have the urge to even finish this damn book anymore.
