- | {{Template}} | + | {{Template}}'''Carlos Castaneda''' ([[December 25]], [[1925]] – [[April 27]], [[1998]]) was a [[Peru]]vian-born [[United States|American]] author. He wrote a series of books that purport to describe his training in traditional [[Mesoamerica]]n [[shamanism]], which he referred to as a form of [[magic (paranormal)|sorcery]]. The books and Castaneda, who rarely spoke in public about his work, have been controversial for many years. Supporters claim the books are either true or at least valuable works of philosophy and descriptions of practices which enable an increased awareness. Critics claim the books are shams, works of fiction, and not empirically verifiable works of [[anthropology]] as claimed. |
