«Il dono dell'aquila» is the spiritual account by Carlos Castaneda, published by BUR Biblioteca Univ. Rizzoli in paperback (318 pages, in Italian).
In Mexico, Carlos Castaneda becomes an apprentice of don Juan, a Yaqui shaman and expert in 'power plants'. In desert landscapes and ancient ruins, visionary experiences culminate in the eagle's gift: freedom from all conditioning and transformation into a nagual, pure cosmic energy.
It is part of the series The Teachings of Don Juan, of which it is the sixth volume; the original title is The Eagle's Gift (1981), translated by Francesca Bandel Dragone.
For readers interested in shamanism, spirituality, anthropology, and the work of Carlos Castaneda.
Carlos Castaneda was a Peruvian-American writer, trained as an anthropologist. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe alleged training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named Don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the character of Don Juan and the training he described is now generally considered to be fabricated and to have little relation to the actual cultural practices of the Yaqui. Castaneda's early writings featuring Don Juan were bestsellers with the general public, and are considered to be a significant influence on neoshamanism and the New Age movement more broadly.
