Sempre tive aquela vontade lá no fundo do coração de fazer o Caminho de Santiago. Viajei com você pelos meandros dos caminhos de pedra, entre as árvores, visitei através das suas páginas os templos, participei dos rituais. Foi lindo.
Después de viajar a Santiago en julio, volví a leer este libro.
Por curiosidad, ¿Hiciste alguna vez el Camino de Roma? (Me suena que se comenta algo al respecto en “Brida” pero no sé si estoy equivocada…)
Besos desde Barcelona,
Miriam

After my short trip to Santiago in July, I(re)read this book.
Out of curiosity, Did you ever the Way of Rome?
Kisses from Barcelona,

I have read the Pilgrimage a couple of times, once in Spanish and twice in English. I must admit that I’ve read it at moments when I was supposed to read it. I found different points each time I have read it. I was given signs through it and I think this will continue to be the case. Life is so magic and we must continue carrying the magic within.
I love this book and I love our dearest Paulo
Love and light
Monica
Olá
escrevo esta mensagem porque me sinto feliz nesta preparação que faço para finalmente realizar o caminho a pé a Santiago de Compostela…li o Diário de um Mago hà 15 anos atrás, transporto em mim a caminhada mágica do peregrino, sou professora de música de crianças na idade pré-escolar e aplico o exercicio da semente, junto com uma canção relacionada, no fim de cada aula…as crianças interiorizam de tal modo este momento que não o dispensam por nada…é muito bonito e gratificante..e mágico também!
Pois passados 15 anos desta semente ter sido lançada na minha alma,deixando 2 filhotes aos cuidados dos avós -OBRIGADA – cá vou junto com a minha alma gémea e pai dos meus filhos começar esta jornada espiritual…FINALMENTE!!!
Só espero que tudo corra bem!!!!
He de reconocer que la primera vez que leí el libro, lo hice pues tengo la promesa hecha al Apóstol de realizar esa peregrinación, por lo menos una vez en la vida, y eso promesa que reconozco aun no he cumplido, en parte por flojera, y en parte por cobardía,sobre todo por que al leer el libro, no tardas en identificarte con alguno de los personajes, principalmente con el camino.
La parte de la cobardía viene dada por el hecho que el camino te enfrenta a tus demonios internos, miedo, ira, frustración, autocompasión, dejar para después, o cualquier otro pensamiento o sentimiento limitante, que en definitiva no son más que alteregos que nosotros mismos hemos creado, y he de reconocer mi estimado paulo, que no se si este listo para enfrentarme a estos, quizás sea por eso que la gente que lo ha logrado hacer el camino, dice que este hay que hacerlo con fe, o con cierta fe.
I loved the book! It reminded me of how to live, and actually how easy it is ??? Encountering ones evil, in the light of this book, helps us to see that its good to find the dark side of onself… gives confidence to go on… and to see, that only by finding the “dirt” you can clean it… win it… Obrigada Paolo!
Coelho, sir, I am baptized, I received the Eucharist, holy confirmation, however, not considered to be Christian, I do not believe in the Almighty … whether that means that can not follow the way to Santiago di Compostela? Can despite penetrate the deeper meaning of all the exercises described in the book …? I do not belong to any religion
I loved the book. It helped me understand myself better…Thank you Paulo.
can any body explain me what does paulo’s guide i.e petrus means when he tells him that when u do not know your personal devil he usually manifests itself in th nearest person? plz…..
pg 62 of pilgrimage.
la verdad es la primera vez que escribo en este blog, no tengo pensamientos profundos para compartir sin embargo creo que la peregrinacion la realizamos todos a lo largo de nuestra vida alli debemos tomar decisiones buenas o malas las cuales nos haran alcanzar llegar ala felicidad o no . Claro espero que me ayuden a corregir si me equivoco, por cierto felicito al autor por sus excelentes libros.
Hye,
I’ve been reading “the pilgrimage” recently, and got a lil bit confused. I wanna know if Paulo made his way across northen Spain in the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela twice. I mean, how come that he failed the first time … and tha he was not allowed to get his sword …
Please, I can make any headway with the book !
Hello Hye! I don’t want to spoil the amazing things you will read in The Pilgrimage. But sometimes, when I am a bit ‘stuck’, it helps to go back to the beginning, and start again, slowly. Maybe this will help you become unstuck, too. Happy reading Hye!
Much Love, Jane : )
Yes Fi, that makes sense :-) The real pilgrimage begins when we return to real life, that is so true!
Karin, I loved what you said about acceptance of differences…I think it really is the only way forward.
The world would be very dull of we were all the same!!
But tolerance and in fact, celebration of differences takes all the power away from the demon!
In relation to the theme of pilgrimage:
My own experience of pilgrimage is life and the Camino de Santiago.
The Camino de Santiago distils life down to walking, sleeping, eating….and in that filtration, it’s easier to open yourself and heart to your truth, your right path, your instinct, your ’sword’.
The voice of your inner child is no longer drowned out by the voices of fear, duty, pride, habit, race, religion, politics etc. etc. When all you have time and energy for is walking, sleeping and eating for 4-5 weeks, then your instinct and inner child can be heard very clearly.
The real challenge is to remember what they sound like, so that when you return to ‘real life’ and all of the pride, stress, fear, duty etc. kicks back in….that you can still differentiate and stay connected to the simplicity of instinct and truth.
That is when the real camino starts…
Am I making any sense?!?
Well, it’s just my opinion, anyway!
Dear Fi and Karin, I agree that listening to the heart becomes of primary importance as the result of the pilgrimage, and then, nurturing, strengthening, and maintaining the connection no matter what!
As well, there are battles sometimes when using my hands to make art. While working with stone at one point, I came across a fault line in the rock. It had taken several months for the figure (a buffalo) to emerge and then at a crucial point, came face to face with an unexpected fault line, straight across a weight bearing leg! Now, I could have stopped right there to begin another project but after so much work, felt strongly to accept the challenge to persevere, to see what might happen. So, patience was rewarded. The rock showed me another valuable lesson; to work with, not against the fault. Sure enough, the buffalo was freed fully intact and the fault is visible. A characteristic, adding interest and although imperfect, would not seem quite as beautiful any other way.
Interesting point Fi -
” The voice of your inner child is no longer drowned out by the voices ”
Also applying this to feeling liberated while using my hands while doing work of any kind, striving for the love to be freely, truthfully and sincerely expressed – rather than be a prisoner of myself, of reason, or reputation, or a certain style, or of success. Trying to keep instinct fresh as nature!
So the Pilgrimage itself has many interesting roads, and for me at least, still seeing different things, differently.
Thank You, Much Love to All, Jane : ) xo
its a long time that I read this book… it impressed me much, especially the inner and outer fights with the “damon” and the idea, that you can work with it, instead of fighting against it.
it led me through my life, especially this book. I read all, only the last one only in parts online. it is not published in german yet as I know.
I learned to work with my guardians from both sides and integrate them in my life. life is not black or white… it is just motion… my sense of justice or equalation judge it and make it bad or good, but that is just an opinion. as long as we not think as one, good and bad will exist. but for that, we have to expand our sights and insights all over the world and I think, it will need a while.. hope, it will be possible one day.
do not missunderstand: it is not necessary to think or act as one.. this would break the creation of life down. only acceptance of the difference and no fight against the “damons”, just place for all and sometimes a clear NO, not in my space….
life itself is the pilgrimage… and what we will find at the end, is the dome inside ourselves… long journey, and it was ever there… :-)
thanks and blessings!
