Absolutely WONDERFUL

A collection of wonderful stories woven in a beautifully written narrative. What mystery underlies the so-called hUMAN cONDITION ?!!!.

wonderfull

i read this book at a turning point in my life and i found it great! It also gave a good idea of what don juan matus teachings are...since i never heard of him before..i found it a saticfying read, well worth the time!

A welcome addition to the works of Castaneda's party

Donner-Grau tells the story of her adventures in Venezuela under the tutelage of a local witch and healer. We follow her blossoming from an uncertain traveler with muddled purpose to a healer in her own right; one who appreciates the magical nature of interpersonal relationships.This book would be highly recommended to anyone with an interest in shamanism, healing or wichcraft. A foreword by Carlos Castaneda cements the book into the matrix of others written by Castaneda himself and by the other members of his party.

A "magic" book that leads you to the magic world.

Florinda Donner, antropologist, delicatly shows us the traditional world of Venezuela magicians. She makes us to be involved; we are not a strangers here, we look at this world through eyes of mediums and witches. That makes the book really great - an outstanding writer's skill of the author. Just concentrate - and you feel like in web of other world.
