Carlos Castaneda (1925–1998) was an American author and anthropologist best known for his controversial and influential series of books centered around his experiences with the Yaqui Indian shaman, Don Juan Matus. Born in Peru, Castaneda moved to the United States in the early 1950s to study anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
In the 1960s and 1970s, Castaneda published a series of books, starting with “The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge” in 1968. These books described his alleged apprenticeship with Don Juan, during which he claimed to have learned about traditional indigenous shamanism, spirituality, and the use of psychotropic plants.
Castaneda’s writings sparked widespread interest in shamanism, altered states of consciousness, and spirituality, but they also drew criticism and controversy. Many anthropologists questioned the authenticity of his accounts, and some accused him of fabricating his experiences.
Despite the controversy, Castaneda’s books gained a devoted following and continue to be influential in the realms of spirituality, New Age philosophy, and the exploration of human consciousness. He continued writing and teaching until his death in 1998, leaving behind a complex and enigmatic legacy.
