Black Snake Moan is an American industrial rock band formed in 1997 in the San Francisco Bay Area by singer, songwriter Paige Lawrence.
 Named after the blues song, “That Black Snake Moan” by country blues artist Blind Lemon Jefferson the band began its career playing blues-influenced industrial music.
 Lawrence's lyrics, influenced heavily by authors Carlos Castaneda, Anne Rice, and Frank Herbert, focus on introspection, indigenous spirituality, unexplainable phenomenon and personal development.
 Lawrence, the only permanent member of the group has recruited completely new musicians to play live for each of the two Black Snake Moan albums, Rattle In The Sand (1999) and Tension (2005).
 The majority of the band's live performances have been held in the San Francisco bay area, where they have a strong local following.

Recapitulation is a term first used by Carlos Castaneda in his book, "The Eagle’s Gift", published in 1982.
 In "The Eagle's Gift", Florinda, one of don Juan's party of warriors, teaches Castaneda about the process and purpose of recapitulation.
 She explained that recapitulation consisted of "recollecting one's life down to the most insignificant detail" and that when a woman's recapitulation was complete she "no longer abided by the limitations of her person."
 She further explained that in the process of recapitulation one recounts all the feelings they invested in whatever memory they were reviewing.

Don Juan Matus is the name used by anthropologist and author Carlos Castaneda to describe a Yaqui Mexican spiritual guide (teacher) in his series of books on Nagualism (although Castaneda repeatedly indicates that "Juan Matus" is pseudonym chosen by the author to protect the bearer's true identity).
 He is described as a Native American of Yaqui/Yuma parentage.
 Castaneda writes that he first met Matus at a bus depot in Nogales, Arizona, in the early 1960s.
 He is described by Castaneda as a 'Man of Knowledge' from a Toltec lineage of seers, who imparts much of his wisdom and clarity through his 'connection' with Castaneda.
 The knowledge is described as being passed on to Castaneda by means of actual experiences, simple exercises, talks, and much patience on the part of both, which ends in transforming Castaneda's view of the world.
 There is extensive scholarly debate whether Matus was a real person, an allegorical figure, or an invention by Castaneda.
