Description
Inspiration from Carlos Casteneda's book "Don Juan: Teachings of a Yaqui Medicine Man."
Did you ever read a book published in the 70's, "Don Juan: Teachings of a Yaqui Medicine Man"?
Written by some Anthropology USC grad student; who, later published a sequel..."Further Teachings of Don Juan."
Both books discussed cultural use of psychoactive drugs such as jinsom weed, marijuana, mescaline, peyote, psilocybin mushrooms, etc., for 'spiritual enhancement'...

Not too long ago, I found out the whole thing was a hoax. The guy never attended USC a day in his life & Don Juan, Medicine Man never existed lol.
The pic here is my tongue-in-cheek homage to the whole sordid affair ;-)

Excellent image! interesting narrative! I did not know that about the author!

wonderful image and concept! So cool reflections! Castaneda wrote a truckload of books, of very controversial contents.Perhaps too controversial and molesting for well stablished "straight" anthropologists and science in general..? I confess to have never read those books, only met the hippies that read them and loved them. maybe is time for me to do so?
