It sounds as if they had more than one double being available to attempt making into a nagual, like it's hit or miss, and apparently there is
risk involved. What I was alluding to in my earlier post was the death defier method of guiding a lineage. There is only one nagual that can inherit a
lineage that is guided by a death defier, and that is the death defier's choice, not anybody else's. I get the feeling that death defiers don't
hit or miss either.
It's like there are two stories in Castaneda's books, the way things were with the death defier's influence and the way things would have been
without it.
