Yes I was somewhat of a fan, and read his books way back in the seventies. Fascinating stuff, he is gone now, RIP.

Yes, I read his first 4, broadly called: The teachings of Don Juan, A Yaqui Way of Knowledge." We disussed it it religion class, and my Grandmother gave me the books for Christmas. Fleetwood Mac addressed this in one of their songs. IIRC, he later admitted it was all bullshit.

Yeah, from Fleetwood Mac's song Miles Away (recorded before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham ever joined the group):

"Don Juan goes up in a cloud of smoke, and all those Hare Krishnas turned out to be a joke..."

imo Only the first book was any good.
