First published in 1978, Don Juan, Mescalito and Modern Magic
begins with an analysis of the Castaneda material from the
viewpoint of its inherently magical content. The author examines
the symbiotic gestures, the magical actions and the mind-altering
techniques employed by the brujo Don Juan, and then goes on to draw
comparisons with two other schools of thought: the psychedelic
development of the 1960s and the Western Magical Tradition. The
essential aim throughout is to show that there is a basically
Western shamanism which uses Western symbols and is easily
accessible. The shamanistic practices of the Hermetic Order of the
Golden Dawn are examined in this context. Considerable emphasis is
also placed on mythological aspects associated with out-of-the-body
experiences and their relevance to both the Don Juan Mescalito
imagery and the Qabalistic and Tarot symbols found in Western
Magic. This book will be of interest to students of religion,
history and literature.
