* Two other authors, [[Taisha Abelar]] (born Maryann Simko) and [[Florinda Donner|Florinda Donner-Grau]] (born Regine Thal), wrote books in which they claimed to be from don Juan Matus' party of Toltec warriors. Both Abelar and Donner-Grau were endorsed by Castaneda as being legitimate students of don Juan Matus, whereas he dismissed all other writers as pretenders. The two women were part of Castaneda's inner circle, which he referred to as "The Brujas", and both assumed different names as part of their dedication to their new beliefs. They were originally both graduate students in anthropology at UCLA.<ref name=Salon2007>[http://www.salon.com/books/feature/2007/04/12/castaneda/ ''The dark legacy of Carlos Castaneda''], ''[[Salon magazine]]'', April 12, 2007</ref>
