The Casteneda story rises above so many mystery inquiries into fascinating but distant questions like “Was this guy a British spy in 1778?” or “Why does that star wobble?” or even “Whodunnit?”
It has all the elements of other mysteries, rich What happened? and Whodunnit? questions. The grating questions of the missing women, the bones in the desert alone are compelling. A lot happened on a lot of levels to those who walked into the seductive, complex web of Carlos Casteneda.
But we consider it a mystery apart because Carlos’s writings, themselves, became a part of so many young readers in his era, and still today.
For so many, Casteneda represents more than a story of intrigue apart from us, he is us, part of our life, our growth.
Thus this section is devoted to memories of “Don Juan,” on all levels.

Can you share how your journey of engaging life might have intersected with his works?
