I purchased it, in hopes it would be simualar to Carlos Castanedas work. It wasnt. It was very different from the work of Castaneda. It takes you to a whole different world and way of viewing the world. I did enjoy the book but thought it was very unspecified i n making the points clear. It left me with a feeling of going nowhere. Thats just my personal opinion though.Was this review helpful to you? 7 of 15 people found the following review helpf´ul:Absolutely WONDERFUL, July 16, 1999Reviewer:A readerfrom MexicoA collection of wonderful stories woven in a beautifully written narrative.

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!Was this review helpful to you? 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful:Deep, October 11, 1998Reviewer:A readerfrom New Orleans, LAEach chapter of this book takes you to one of the "lessons" Florinda was exposed to under the witchs tutelage. Its amazing that some of those lessons were just stories, not actual experiences lived by Florinda but by somebody else who tells her the story. In that sense, just reading it is like having the same input she had, taking the same lesson up to some extent, and that reading put me into deep philosophical and meditational mood. Really interesting and really deep for me.Was this review helpful to you? 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful:A welcome addition to the works of Castanedas party, July 21, 1998Reviewer:A readerfrom North Bay, Ontario, CanadaDonner-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 natur´e 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.Was this review helpful to you?
