Carlos Castaneda was an American author best known for his The Teaching of Don Juan book that lead to a series of books about his own training in shamanism. His twelve books tell of his tutelage of a man that Castaneda claimed was a Yaqui “Man of Knowledge” named don Juan Matus. He is considered one of the defining forces of the 1960s and a big part of the New Age movement that took place around that time.
