The Secret of the Plumed Serpent: Further Conversations with Carlos Castaneda

â€œThe Secret of the Plumed Serpentâ€, the second book of the elusive author and healer Armando Torres follows his bestseller â€œEncounters with the Nagualâ€, where he describes his friendship with Carlos Castaneda, the controversial author of twelve best-selling books recounting Castanedaâ€™s apprenticeship with don Juan Matus, a Yaqui sorcerer and custodian of ancestral knowledge that has flourished for thousands of years in what is now Mexico and parts of Central America. Here, eight years later (the original Spanish edition was published in 2010), Torres continues his account of his experiences on the path of sorcerer-healer, the account he began and then abruptly broke off in the last chapter of the â€œEncounters with the Nagualâ€. His simple, functional narrative opens an astounding vista of secret ceremonies, solemn incantations and magical beings roaming the otherworld, but also of relentless discipline and of unquenchable passion for absolute freedom his teachers the healers inherited from their ancestors, the Toltecs: masterful sorcerers, artists and men of knowledge dedicated to discovering the secret of existence. It is the secret of Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent, the gateway to infinity. As Torres works his way towards the final revelation, terror and wonder mingle with moments of earthy comedy, deliciously seasoned with the irony, wit and practical jokes of his friend and mentor Carlos. Somewhere in the anonymity of Mexican countryside, Armandoâ€™s quest for freedom and impeccability continues.
