..the tradition of the moon, tradition of the sun,”soul mates”, aura, all the energy, i can’t belive you are one of those few lucky people that have the chance to follow their path that leads to THEIR GIFT!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful experiences with us, for making me understand that the world the i have kept isolated in my mind for a long time, (afraid to except it, because i couldn’t undertand it), it really DOES EXIST!
All those unexplained strange feelings,belong to a world that is real, even more real that the one we live every day…
I find myself in every book of yours, each and every word has a meaning for me, and the more i read the more i feel attached to that energy around me, i feel closer and closer to the universe, feel that i am part of something greater and more powerful (as much as mysterius ) than anything in this planet….
You are an inspiration to me..
May all the Universe be with you while you continue following your path, with a free spirit and a loving heart, and a bright mind…
I met my soulmate but circumstances and our immense passion for each other rent us asunder. We knew that we were one half of each other from the moment our worlds collided. The energy field that surrounded us was so powerful that other people had to move away from us at times as it effected them. But we parted under extremely painful circumstances.
We still recognise the incredible connection we have but our lives have changed and other people have come into our lives.
I am so confused. I need to ask Paulo some questions but I don’t know how to access him.
Can anyone help ?
Quando li Brida por primeira vez… era uma adolescente com todas suas guerras interiores…. me senti identificada, e este livro foi meu cumplice… e tambem meu aliado. A semana passada, passando por um momento de aprendizado em minha vida, onde fui de encontro ao meu Zahir em Madrid (coincidencia ou nao é verdade), quando volto ao aeroporto de Barajaz, li Brida otra vez…. dessa vez como mulher, e o interessante depois de leer-lo é que me sentia feliz… era justo o que precisava leer… Fui capaz por um momento de reconectar com minha energia femenina, com minha ¨adolescente¨ interior…. E voltei de madrid com a impressao de que havia finalizado o meu aprensizado, e que Brida me ajudou a recordar que nada passa por acaso… MUITO OBRIGADO!
I just love it. I finished it too fast. I love the lines: “That you will never be mine, and that is why I will never lose you”.. It made me easier to let go no matter how painful it is.
Thanks Sir Paulo.
Brida is one of the most stunning books written by Coelho.I’ve read it twice and the second time it was even better.It influenced my mood and thoughts a lot.It is easy to read, but at the same time its simplicity makes you think a lot. This book like some other books of Coelho combines reality and literature in a wonderful way.
Language,pictures,dialogs are flowing without making you get bored or stucking at anything.It draws you attention from the beginning till the end.I had a complete movie going on in my head while reading it.For me, this characteristics make a book successful,new thoughts and images.
I especially admire the courage that it takes to write, in the 21st century of materialism ,themes such as magic, which are considerd as outmoded and that only the unschooled get involed with such matters nowdays. He takes the risk of getting negative critics, beacouse of the subject of the story and dares to speak openly about magic ,by flicking away any cemplex that somenone might feel towards superstition coming upon him.And there’s plenty of it ,as you all know.
He gives another strong meaning to the word “Magic”.Meanings that are left behind , meanings that are considered as quaint.
I really admire this.
I salute you Mr. Coelho.

Un palcer leerlo , uno de los mas bellos. Era el primer en mi opinion hasta leer el Aleph. Dos años despues de leerlo, encontré un amor (que ya se fue, pero en mi no se acabó)y mas que el brillo en sus ojos, he visto el punto de luz arriba de su hombro. Brigada , Sr. Paulo desde Brida, comecei a acreditar no amor. E quando o buscamos ele sempre nos encontra. Espero viver outro amor tão intenso, aun que sea lejos como el primer …
bueno lo que mas me gusto sobre esta narrativa fue el valor que tuvo brida en dejar su vida normal para empezar otra como hechicera y luego apredio a como encontrar a su otra mitad y entendio que la otra parte de si, siempre se encuentra con nosotros pero estmos tan pendientes de otras cosas que no le prestamos atencion pero con la tradicion de la luna y la tradicion del sol ella intuye quien es su otra mitad aprendio a tomar decisiones claras sin importar klos resultados a luchar por sus sueños , que era en convertirce en una gran hechicera
the book that I like most about Paulo coelho went to the river around and cry I sat stone is a wonderful book I recommend it
By the river Piedra I sat down and wept.
Hi
Actually I stayed away from that book for a long time as the subject seemed to me ‘too much popular’… as soulmate is one of the most fascinated and therefore used subject among ‘new world’ writers too…
However I bought the book anyway as I also knew that I would not be dissappointed:)
I just finished the book; and loved so much, may be one of the best I read within Paulo’ s books
the reason of loving so much is supporting ideas around soulmate; the way Brida goes to realise herself. I have still long way to discover mine… But book helped me to show the a possible path which starts with more awarness of Gift we have and be aware that ‘ feeling are like wild horses’ but we need to find a way not be destructed as Magus did managed at the end…
I have a few words also about ‘ soulmate’ . I do not know if our soul is divided into two or more:)
Real joy of life to find someone who really complete you, sleep like child together for years, trust him/her on his/ her ways, care and respect, to love more and more over years….
I am now 36 and I have mine for 17 years, wish everybody to find him/herself…
I want to thank to Mr Coelho for all books he wrote as;
.there is always ‘hope’
.shows releasing personal entireness in different ways
. there is always ‘LOVE’ in different forms
Vou falar de um modo geral;as tuas obras são sempre inteligentes, linguagem fácil de ser entendida, e principalmente tem um cunho feminino, que faz com as mulheres se indentifiquem e possam se encontrar.Quero dizer que o teu lado feminino é forte nas tuas personagens mulheres.Voce parece conhecer a alma feminina como niguém, talvez tenha sido mulher em algumas vidas.Voce é Ótimo, quase
perfeito!Bjs!
Hi, if there was any book that has touched me more it is this… I am fascinated by the idea of a soul mate and know he is there somewhere… Cohelo please answer this: is it possible that our soul mate be of the same gender? We evolve in each of our births and in the next we cannot ascertain what we will be born as. I have experienced ultimate oneness of thoughts and feelings with someone of my own sex. That feeling is above lust or attraction . I felt divine. Please answer this.
Love the book. Have read it while on holidays in France/ Catalania district at the foot of Pyrenees. Pleasure has been doubled because shared the book reading with my soulmate. Got very inspired and closer to the undrestanding of the Universe and the harmony of the world and us being part of it. Loved my Lord more than ever in your explanation of Him as human being and divine p.214-215 Thank you and please bring us more of your stories and ideas. Loving every moment of my life and wishing everyone the same light ahead when problems are exciting challenge that make us finer and stronger to gain the Wisdom of life and live by it while being profondly grateful to our Creator.
Este libro es Magico! no hay palabras para describirlo, es mi favorito!
Thanks Coleen….I completely agree with you on the last sentence – “connection cannot be broken”….I have felt this connection from the time I have known this soul more closely. But am unsure if the same feeling lies from that end as well. I get hints and signs , or at times my heart talks to me and convinces me that this is meant to be. Am just too scared to trust it.
I would share something I have truly experienced in my life. When I was a teenager I have a wish that someday God will send someone I really wanted to be with for the rest of our lives. I wrote it in my journal specifically everything I want from a man. I also wished that this person already existed no matter what his age will be.I also have visions in dreams the type of guy he will grow up to be(his family background and how we are going to meet).
Three years ago I have met him. He is 9years younger than me. He is almost exactly the same person in my wish and in my dreams,the only thing he doesn’t have is that he is not thoughtful or romantic. The problem is I have fear to take the risk. Believe me or not Ive always received many signs. Its like reminding me not to give up on him every time I tried to.Something that I could not explain it only reveals a reason that this signs will serve us connection. But I did still keep him out of my sight because I have no courage to face my fears,the fear of getting hurt again yet he is still waiting for me until now and keep telling me that no matter how adventurous I am, for him I’m still coward for not committing to him seriously. I think he knows I’m his soul mate too.
The story of Brida is like a mirror of my life. From magic,mystery and adventure seems almost the same from what I’ve been through. It gives me wisdom and courage to face the truth.
I have read the book Brida and instantly loved it….I have refelcted after chapter, but I am left unanswered with one Q – We have recognised our soul mate but what can one do to help your soul mate understand that you are his?
If this person is your soulmate he or she will know it without you saying a word the familiarity will exist almost immediately. It may not be the right timing for the other person and they may come to realize your importance to late……The connection will always be part of the two of you it cannot be broken…..
loved it to have brida with me on my travel. found her by chance. was glad that she wanted to come with me. a PC book works differently then reading it when living the working-life.
good book. was for me a natural continuation after reading the witch of portobello. and was great to simultaneously read it while visiting the little venus of willendorf.
I like to feel the sensation when getting to know our ancestors and the impression I can connect to them. found that the venus and brida both did their work together; real sisters.
I just let the book work on me, not much thinking but just on the level it wants to communicate. it is a rare reading for me, only generally happens when reading poems. thus it is an adventure to do this with your books.
so far, for all the books I read it looks as if there is a “jump” from one PC book to the other” in style, story, narrative structure, content, environment. fascinating.
I read that book much faster than all the others… There’s magic in it. I read once more for my pleasure. The narrative structure is not so complicated… I completely agree with you… this book worked on me as well. Full of pages of pure poems
