The Second Ring of Power. The Gift of the Eagle

Jumping off a cliff into the abyss, Carlos survived. He returns to Mexico to find out if this incredible leap was real. Unexpectedly, he encounters a group of women sorceresses, also students of Don Juan, and in order not to perish in a confrontation with them, he discovers within himself the magical ability to exit his body as a powerful double. He learns that all the attacks against him were planned by Don Juan himself to help him unlock his power and recognize himself as the new Nagual. As a result of his interaction with the impeccable woman-warrior La Gorda, Carlos takes on the responsibility of leading a new group of Naguals. The author attempts to lead a new squad of sorcerers. So far, he is not doing well. All the students periodically experience strange memories of events that did not happen and could not have happened in the world of ordinary perception. Conflicts between Castaneda and the other students are intensifying.
