Who was don Juan


The same stupid (?) questions keeps popping up again and again: '-Who was don Juan?', 'Where is he?'. As far anyone knows, no-one (but the team of sorcerers around Castaneda) have ever seen don Juan. There seem to be no evidence whatsoever of his existance apart from what Castaneda et al tells us. There furthermore seems to be no, or at least almost no references to anyone having seen any of the other sorcerers of either don Juans team, Castanedas old team or Nagual Julians team. (I write almost, because I have seen one german writer who claims to have met Florinda Grau. If pushed I might even try to find out his name and a proper reference... Ken Eagle Feather also claims to have been taught by don Juan and please don't even mention Tunneshende in this context.)

So, nobody have ever seen don Juan Matus for certain. Remains the fact that this mystical system (which I here call 'castanedianism') was not by any means invented by one single person.
