Foreword


I have written extensive descriptive accounts of my
apprentice relationship with a Mexican Indian sor-
cerer, don Juan Matus. Due to the foreignness of the
concepts and practices don Juan wanted me to under-
stand and internalize, I have had no other choice but
to render his teachings in the form of a narrative, a
narrative of what happened, as it happened.

The organization of don Juan's instruction was
predicated on the idea that man has two types of
awareness. He labeled them the right side and the left
side. He described the first as the state of normal
awareness necessary for everyday life. The second,
he said, was the mysterious side of man, the state of
awareness needed to function as sorcerer and seer.
Don Juan divided his instruction, accordingly, into
teachings for the right side and teachings for the left
side.

He conducted his teachings for the right side when
I was in my state of normal awareness, and I have
described those teachings in all my accounts. In my
state of normal awareness don Juan told me that he
was a sorcerer. He even introduced me to another
sorcerer, don Genaro Flores, and because of the na-
ture of our association, I logically concluded that they
had taken me as their apprentice.
