The point is that there are social naguals that live semi-public lives
around normal people doing web-pages, workshops, interviews, books, etc as a part of a marketing strategy (the list is long) and naguals that are rather strict in their
sorceric approach and deal with social groups scarcely and with great
care, such as the naguals of Don Juan's lineage.
I wouldn't like assholes knocking at my door and I think that most naguals share the sentiment. Castaneda's history, for instance, is filled with cases
of insane wannabes approaching him for countless dull reasons instead
of the only one that matters (freedom of the spirit).
This is what actually killed him more than the rest of his indulgences. Dull people will literally suck the life out of you.
Being a natural friend of naguals I wouldn't like to interfere with their quiet lives. If this nagual wants publicity he will do it on his own accord as a
part of his controlled folly.
At any rate prepared or deserving individuals find naguals without them being advertised anywhere. Sometimes naguals actually find them.
