Carlos Castaneda, dříve Castañeda, byl autor kontroverzních knih, které popisují jeho učednictví u tradičního amerického čaroděje z tradice Toltéckých zřeců z kmene Yaqui.

Castaneda tvrdí, že se v roce 1960, kdy byl studentem antropologie, seznámil s čarodějem kmene Yaqui, kterého nazýval Don Juan Matus. Castanedův původní zájem studia halucinogenních rostlin v oblasti Sonorské pouště se během setkávání s čarodějem změnil v jeho učednictví. Aniž to sám zprvu tušil, začal se učit čarodějnému popisu světa, aby posléze od dona Juana zdědil pozici naguala, tedy vůdce skupiny zřeců. Tento termín používá Castaneda pro šamana či čaroděje, který dokáže proměnit svůj tvar nebo se proměnit ve zvíře.

Castanedova tvorba obsahuje mnoho popisů paranormálních a magických zážitků, psychologické techniky, toltécké magické rituály, experimenty s psychotropními rostlinami . Z jeho učení vychází také cvičení tzv. „magických gest“ – tensegrita.

Prodalo se více než 8 milionů výtisků jeho díla v 17 jazycích včetně češtiny.[zdroj?] Wikipedia
