“The Key of the Plumed Serpent”, the next book of the elusive author and healer Armando Torres follows his bestseller “Encounters with the Nagual”, where he describes his friendship with Carlos Castaneda, the controversial writer of twelve best-selling books recounting Castaneda’s apprenticeship with don Juan Matus, a Yaqui sorcerer and custodian of ancestral knowledge which has flourished for a large number of years in what’s now Mexico and elements of Central America. His basic, functional narrative opens a fantastic vista of top secret ceremonies, solemn incantations and magical beings roaming the otherworld, but also of relentless self-discipline and of unquenchable interest for absolute independence his teachers the healers inherited from their ancestors, the Toltecs: masterful sorcerers, artists and guys of knowledge focused on discovering the trick of existence. Right here, eight years later (the initial Spanish edition was released this year 2010), Torres proceeds his account of his encounters on the road of sorcerer-healer, the accounts he began and abruptly broke off within the last chapter of the “Encounters with the Nagual”. As Torres works his method towards the ultimate revelation, terror and question mingle with occasions of earthy humor, deliciously seasoned with the irony, wit and useful jokes of his friend and mentor Carlos. It’s the magic formula of Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent, the gateway to infinity. Someplace in the anonymity of Mexican countryside, Armando’s search for independence and impeccability continues.
