Knight without Armor: Carlos E. Castañeda is the definitive biography of one of the most honored yet unknown historians of the twentieth century. No other historian of Hispanic descent has matched Castañeda's success, with twelve books and nearly eighty articles published in three decades. He was also one of the most distinguished, having earned prestigious accolades such knighthood in the Vatican's Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem and in Spain's Order of Isabel la Católica as praise for his contributions to the study of Catholicism and the history of the Spanish borderlands in North America.Castañeda personified the ideal of knighthood as he overcame the limitations of financial burdens and ethnic discrimination. Rising out of humble origins in south Texas, he fought to improve school conditions in the barrios of San Antonio, and later served on Franklin D. Roosevelt's Committee on Fair Employment Practices during World War II. In 1939, he realized his dream of becoming a professor and historian. While teaching at the University of Texas, Castañeda specialized in Latin American history and focused on the history of Catholicism as the subject closest to his heart. His eight-volume work Our Catholic Heritage in Texas, 1519–1950 has been called the best work ever written on the Spanish colonial era in Texas.Until his death in 1958, Carlos Castañeda worked to educate others on the history of Hispanic Americans and their culture, and courageously sought equality for his people. Author Félix D. Almaráz, Jr. has compiled numerous writings, interviews and photographs from private collections as well as state and national archives in order to present a worthy tribute of a historian whose praise is long overdue.

Incomplete set of three hardcovers in the Don Juan series by Carlos Castaneda.

“A marvelous book with rich teachings that particularly touch the heart of death -- and, thus, life itself.”--Thom Hartmann, author of The Last Hours of Ancient SunlightCarlos Castaneda comes back from the dead in a true-life spiritual adventure story set in the French Pyrenees, Machu Picchu, the Peruvian Amazon, and the American Southwest.Four months after his death, the world-renowned writer, anthropologist, and mystic Carlos Castaneda turns up in the French Pyrenees. He meets with writer Martin Goodman. His purpose? To lead Martin beyond the fear of death and the confusions of mortality, and to offer a clearer understanding of the ultimate wisdom -- the wisdom to live the rest of our days in full and conscious harmony with the living earth.Martin Goodman is a gifted storyteller who has infused I Was Carlos Castaneda with literary verve and humor. When, at their first encounter, an incredulous Goodman confronts Castaneda with reports of his recent death, Castaneda replies wryly, “Details. . . mere details.” And so the story begins.

Carlos Castaneda burst onto the academic and cultural scene in 1968 when he published the first of four books detailing his supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer named Don Juan. While academic critics contend Castaneda invented Don Juan, believers say the fog surrounding his existence express the very ideals that Castaneda attributed to his apprenticeship.Little is known of the Peruvian claiming to be Don Juan's apprentice, but in addition to leading a generation into a mystical otherworld, Carlos Castaneda was also a man. Married to him for thirteen years was Margaret Runyan Castaneda.A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda reads partly like a love story, partly like a tell-all account of a celebrity writer. Margaret Castaneda concentrates on the years leading up to her marriage in 1960. It was then Margaret and Carlos explored many of the ideas -- from controlling dreams to using hallucinogenic mushrooms -- that he claims to have learned from Don Juan.Nevertheless, Margaret Castenada believes her husband was indeed a sorcerer, and she still loves him. She insists Castaneda's academic critics miss the point. "I'm willing to accept Don Juan as a spiritual teacher, and it really doesn't matter if he's not real." But the role she claims -- in developing the ideas Carlos purports to be Don Juan's -- ought to be recognized, she says, so she wrote this book.

La tercera atencion se alcanza cuando el resplandor de la conciencia se convierte en el fuego interno. El logro supremo de los seres humanos es alcanzar ese nivel de atencion y, al mismo tiempo, retener la fuerza de la vida.

En esta sexta obra, Carlos Castaneda prosigue relatando sus encuentros con los restantes nueve aprendices de don Juan y don Genaro, así como con su grupo de guerreros. A lo largo de estos encuentros se le revela la regla del nagual y es instruido en los principios y prácticas del arte de ensoñar y del arte del acecho. «Al poder que gobierna el destino de todos los seres se le llama el Águila, no porque sea un águila o porque tenga algo que ver con las águilas, sino porque los videntes se les aparece como una incomensurable y negrísima águila, de altura infinita, empinada como se empinan las águilas». «El Águila ha concedido un regalo a cada uno de todos los seres. A su propio modo y por su propio derecho, cualquiera de ellos, si así lo desea, tiene el poder de conservar la llama de la conciencia, el poder de desobedecer, el emplazamiento para morir y ser consumido. A cada cosa viviente se le ha concedido el poder, si así lo desea, de buscar una apertura hacia la libertad y de pasar por ella». LA REGLA DEL NAGUAL

En sus páginas, el autor narra experiencias que tuvieron lugar en estados de conciencia acrecentada y que nos introducen en la maestría de estar conscientes de Ser.

Three Decades of Engendering History collects ten of Antonia I. Castañeda’s best articles, including the widely circulated article “Engendering the History of Alta California, 1769–1848,” in which Castañeda took a direct and honest look at sex and gender relations in colonial California, exposing stories of violence against women as well as stories of survival and resistance. Other articles included are the prize-winning “Women of Color and the Rewriting of Western History,” and two recent articles, “Lullabies y Canciones de Cuna” and “La Despedida.” The latter two represent Castañeda’s most recent work excavating, mapping, and bringing forth the long and strong post-WWII history of Tejanas. Finally, the volume includes three interviews with Antonia Castañeda that contribute the important narrative of her lived experience―the “theory in the flesh” and politics of necessity that fueled her commitment to transformative scholarship that highlights gender and Chicanas as a legitimate line of inquiry.

Amy Wallace's memoir of her complex relationship with Carlos Castaneda plunges readers deep into the reality of the Castaneda cult and the psychological terrors it perpetrated. With the skill of a master storyteller, Wallace recounts early meetings with Castaneda, shares previously unpublished material straight from the Nagual, and explores the aftermath of Castaneda's death and the long term effects of his legacy. Insightful and unwaveringly honest, Sorcerer's Apprentice is simultaneously a love story, a cautionary tale about the dangers of giving one's power to another, and a joyous account of healing and self-affirmation.

The story of the author's quest to become a man of knowledge and spirituality, in which he is apprenticed to a Yaqui shaman and spiritual warrior named Don Juan, features a wholly new introduction by the author. Reissue.
