That's what I thought of too. Just finishing reading Sorcerer's Apprentice - a kind of slog of a read written by one of the insiders of the Castaneda cult. I wonder if he "borrowed" the name...
Is the guy really a cult leader tho? Hahaha, this thread is totally not about this guy but OK: I guess he’s got a cult on your mind if you keep thinking of him while this is actually about something else. Wouldn’t that be your problem tho, not about this guy?
