For Moon Witch
The middens are groups of dancers today retain tradition of the generations of witches in Mexico, which adopted this system to hide their knowledge of tradition in the eyes of the English conquerors, through folklore. The name comes because they play an instrument like a small guitar made of armadillo shell. The highest rank in them is to be captain.
Doña Soledad Ruiz is a Mexican lady, professor of theater at the University of Mexico and actress who made her drama studies in Prague, and he traveled throughout Europe before returning to settle in Mexico City is also heir to the tradition conchera , captain of middens, of an ancient lineage. But inside she works as a healing shamanism.
I was pleased to meet up just a couple of months at home. She was accompanied by two friends, one of them was that was our introducer. Women
petite, looking alive and soft-spoken, patient answered questions we did. We talked
d. Juan whom she met at her teacher. She had already read the first book before I met Carlos Castaneda. The day the teacher introduced him Dona Magdalena Soledad was with other students and asked them both not to say or comment anything about the people who were known to talk to her the next day.
Doña Soledad and her partner had to "guess" who was d. Juan among the group of people who were in the house of the teacher to tell the next day. But she said neither had doubts. The two knew who was d. Juan without any doubt, only to compare the data and describe each of them described it with different clothes. She saw him with simple clothes, while his partner was wearing a suit (with jacket, she said)
The second time I saw was also at his teacher. When Dona Soledad came were talking Don Juan and his teacher. In a moment they were alone, his teacher told him "that Don Juan is a Catholic man as nothing more than that boy meets good for nothing Carlitos"
He added that it did much to get close to d. Juan because it was difficult "these witches are so large that if they want to get you do not get"
also told us about his friendship with Carlos Castaneda. He told us that when he went to Mexico, formerly known as finishing what he had to do, just at home talking until the wee hours of the morning. At midnight, interrupted the conversation to go to the kitchen to get something to eat yogurt, cookies and stuff, she bought because I knew he liked "could kill him with a cake or flan" So I would say Carlos "Soledad" you realize that I'm in your kitchen? " such was the confidence that both had, that she considered him like a brother.
then told us of the great love of Charles for women, and how they tried to conquer them all up to her, but she said: "Carlos, what do you think? It would be incest. "
His eyes shone with every memory and his eyes looked beyond time and space, covering the corners of the room:" That's where you sit is where you sit Carlos ", told me of the time . And he told us about the great eloquence and was threatened that his talk, the stories so unbelievable that it happened and that he talked with confidence.
"If I had listened and been dedicated to healing rather than writing books today ... "I thought and changed the end of the phrase" well, would have lived much longer. He had a lot of energy and just kept it, without using "
And he turned to make the silence filled with memories for her and expectation for us. Broke the silence, as she looked beautiful with those big eyes and sharp, to say "I know where Carlos is now," he paused none dared to stop and said, "is looking for more power. That's what he does now. "
And that's all you told us about d. Juan and Carlos Castaneda, rest said with silence, smiles, looks lost, or tellers, including cigarette and cigar.
