Summary
Carlos Castaneda takes the listener into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is “natural” and “logical”.
His landscape is full of terrors and mysterious forces, as sharply etched as a flash of lightning on the deserts and mountains where don Juan takes him to pursue the sorcerer’s knowledge - the knowledge that it is the Eagle that gives us, at our births, a spark of awareness, that it expects to reclaim at the end of our lives and which the sorcerer, through his discipline, fights to retain.
Castaneda describes how don Juan and his party left this world - “the warriors of don Juan’s party had caught me for an eternal instant, before they vanished into the total light, before the Eagle let them go through” - and how he, himself, upon witnessing such a sight, jumped into the abyss.

The Eagle’s Gift
An extraordinary story, beautifully read by Luis Moreno. It was always one of my favourite Carlos Castaneda books, and I’m very happy to finally have a wonderful audio version to listen to.

Loved this book from start to finish!
I love Carlos Castaneda's work. I had read them many years ago and I'm enjoying listening to them this time around. I also have found that this book and The Art of Dreaming encourage dream recall and understanding ❤️

DON'T GET THIS TIL YOU'VE READ THE TWO BEFORE IT!
This book is probably the most amazing of the Castaneda narratives, I have read it in book form several times. It is Book 6 of the narrative series, i.e. of those originally published in paperback by Penguin.
However, it only makes sense if you've read the two books before it, which as yet are not available as audiobooks. The first three are available though, which is extremely odd. It means you can listen to Books 1, 2, and 3 - then you have to jump to Book 6. It would be like reading a novella where the publisher has omitted chapters 4 and 5.
So if you've got as far as 'Journey To Ixtlan' (Book 3), then stop. Beg borrow or buy Book 4 ('Tales Of Power') and Book 5 ('The Second Ring Of Power'), read them, then listen to this. It will then make sense. If you don't do that, you will wonder things like "Who is La Gorda? Why is she in LA with Castaneda? Who are the other apprentices, where do they fit in? What happened to Don Juan and Don Genaro?" Having listened to 'Journey To Ixtlan', the conceptual leap necessary to understand this book will be too great.
Otherwise I would rate this 5 stars. As it is, my low score is simply due to the weird editorial decision to omit Books 4 and 5.
