Amy Wallace Speaks Out About Her Life In The Tragic Carlos Castaneda Cult

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


If you are familiar with Carlos Castaneda’s works this most assuredly is an interview you should not miss. Everything has a dark side. This is an interview with Author Irving Wallace’s daughter Amy Wallace.

What do you think went wrong with Carlos Castaneda exactly and what contributed to the insanity so to speak? What contributed to Carlos’ insanity?

AW: He went ballistic when he found out I took Prozac though he waved off my fuse of painkillers for chronic migraines. By then we had made love a number of times, and he claimed (with Florinda, who had been so close to me) chiming in, that I had poisoned him by making love with him while on an antidepressant. He believed he was cursed forever because his penis had entered a Prozac-contaminated body. This is the one time in my life when I truly considered committing suicide… Just remembering how close I came still terrifies me. It was horrific to write about.

In reality, I believe over-consumption of toxic psychedelic plants contributed to his insanity and liver cancer; and possibly he was a secret drinker, though I have no proof of this.

And, of course, his God-complex, general bitterness and rage, and the pressures of managing a cult (there were centers in Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Italy, and maybe more) I believe contributed hugely to his madness.

Was sex ever a big factor in the Cult lifestyle of Carlos was it a free love hippie type environment? Could you go into some of his relationships with his followers when it came to intimacy?

AW: As I said, Carlos and I had that old-fashioned great sexual chemistry. The book goes into great detail about this, and how he abused women who weren’t excited for sexual favors—a few were great matches, most were not. I wouldn’t know where to begin to explain all this here, except to say that when he had an orgasm in a woman, he claimed to be planting a magic seed, which both granted powers and, as I mentioned, which we in turn could pass on to others.
