«Le don de l'aigle» is the philosophical essay by Carlos Castaneda, published by Gallimard in paperback (292 pages, in French).
The anthropologist Carlos Castaneda revisits his apprenticeship with the Yaqui shaman don Juan Matus as one who is already a master. Don Juan appears as a link in a chain of naguals, chosen to guard an ancestral tradition and transmit the rule: the gift of the Eagle. The work reflects on perception, reality, and shamanic knowledge.
Sixth installment of the series «Las enseñanzas de don Juan»; originally published in 1981 as «The Eagle's Gift».
For readers interested in anthropology, spirituality, and philosophy, as well as for those who follow 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.
