Are you reffering to Don Juan the legendary lover or Don Juan the mystical native American of the Carlos Castenada books such as Journey to Ixtlan?

Don Juan is a legendary fictional libertine, whose story has been told many times by different authors. The name is sometimes used figuratively, as a synonym for "seducer". The story ends dramatically, with Don Juan's descent to Hell.

Most agree that Don Juan is based on a legendary 17th century Spanish nobleman Don Juan Tenorio.

The legends say that Don Juan seduced a young girl of noble family and killed her father. Later, he came across a statue of the father in a cemetery and impiously invited it home to dine with him. The ghost of the father arrived for dinner as the harbinger of Don Juan's death and dragged him to hell.

Most authorities agree that the first recorded tale of Don Juan is "El Burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra" by Tirso de Molina. Dates vary for the first publication of this, from 1620 to 1635, depending on the source, although it appeared in Spain as early as 1615.

I've read quite a few of the books, and found them a good read. To be honest I read the first couple because I was interested in his trips, and tripping in general. They were good reads as books, and some of the fundamental teachings are quite interesting, although I never really had an urge to take any of them up. By "The Art of Dreaming" I had lost a bit of interest (I read it out of sequence) and haven't really gone back to them since

Well I certainly enjoyed the books, with a large pinch of salt.

I like Castaneda, very similar to taoism, just added are the various psychedelic substances.
