The second ring of power is the fifth work by Carlos Castaneda, which continues the narration of the cycle of the teachings of Don Juan. After a leap into an abyss, Castaneda finds himself submerged in a sea of contradictions, considering that this leap marks the supposed disappearance of Don Juan and Don Genaro. This book explores themes of shamanism, metaphysics, esotericism, occultism, and spirituality.
Carlos Castaneda was a Peruvian-American writer, trained as an anthropologist. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe alleged training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named Don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the character of Don Juan and the training he described is now generally considered to be fabricated and to have little relation to the actual cultural practices of the Yaqui. Castaneda's early writings featuring Don Juan were bestsellers with the general public, and are considered to be a significant influence on neoshamanism and the New Age movement more broadly.
