Carlos César Salvador Aranha Castaneda, a renowned American author, held a doctoral degree in anthropology, a testament to his academic prowess. His literary career began with the publication of "The Teachings of Don Juan" in 1968, marking the start of a remarkable series of books that chronicled his apprenticeship in the realm of shamanism. This distinctive body of work focused on his experiences with a lineage group that drew inspiration from the ancient Toltecs. The narrative, presented in the first person, vividly recounts his time spent under the guidance of a wise and enigmatic Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named don Juan Matus.
