CarlosCastaneda
My strange day began several years ago while receiving a massage by a Reiki master. The massage was an HR perk offered by the Arizona Republic newspaper to stressed out journalists such as myself. Halfway through the massage, the red-headed masseuse told me I was going to meet Carlos Castaneda. A year later two unusually large, human-like ravens showed up at my house in the desert. They looked me over as if trying to make a decision. Within the month, I was having lunch in Los Angeles with the world’s most famous literary sorcerer, Carlos Castaneda. For the next several years, Castaneda’s non-ordinary energy spilled over into my world. In my opinion Castaneda was the real deal (despite the criticism). This is why I wrote these three blogs about Castaneda and his family. Read them in order and then you decide. –Thomas Ropp
