About the author
Amy Wallace is a journalist and author best known in this catalogue for "Sorcerer's Apprentice: My Life with Carlos Castaneda," a memoir recounting her relationship with the anthropologist-turned-writer whose books on the Yaqui teacher don Juan made him a bestselling and controversial figure from the late 1960s onward. The book traces their first meeting and her years within Castaneda's circle, offering a firsthand account of his rise and the community that formed around him. Wallace is also credited, with Bill Henkin, as co-author of "The Psychic Healing Book," a foundational text on psychic and energy-based healing covering grounding, aura reading, astral body theory, and basic psychic readings, reissued as a classic with a new introduction. Together the two titles place Wallace on both sides of the esoteric shelf, as a chronicler of one of its most famous figures and as a practitioner-author in her own right.
