{"product_id":"don-juan-mescalito-and-modern-magic","title":"Don Juan, Mescalito and Modern Magic","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1978, \u003ci\u003eDon Juan, Mescalito and Modern Magic \u003c\/i\u003ebegins with an analysis of the Castaneda material from the viewpoint of its inherently magical content. The author examines the symbiotic gestures, the magical actions and the mind-altering techniques employed by the \u003ci\u003ebrujo \u003c\/i\u003eDon Juan, and then goes on to draw comparisons with two other schools of thought: the psychedelic development of the 1960s and the Western Magical Tradition. The essential aim throughout is to show that there is a basically Western shamanism which uses Western symbols and is easily accessible. The shamanistic practices of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn are examined in this context. Considerable emphasis is also placed on mythological aspects associated with out-of-the-body experiences and their relevance to both the Don Juan \u003ci\u003eMescalito \u003c\/i\u003eimagery and the Qabalistic and Tarot symbols found in Western Magic. This book will be of interest to students of religion, history and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46693308530926,"sku":"9781032520377","price":53.09,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/don-juan-mescalito-and-modern-magic","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
