Am I Completing a Long Walk? Maybe It’s a Pilgrimage?

The Camino is an opportunity to work on the inner journey. (Not limited to the Camino.) Many believe the Camino has special powers. ~ It maybe that we are hyper alert and notice things that pass us by in the ordinary world. The Celts would say the Camino is an example of a “thin place,” It is said there are telluric presences, ley lines, and spiritual energy most noticeably at historic religious sites. People experience synchronicities, coincidences etc.

I find it useful to think in terms of a framework. Then I can ensure each section of my pilgrimage; separation, transformation, reintegration, receives the attention it requires. In this way I can make the most of journeying through the “special world.”
While on Camino we have the opportunity to cross the threshold and enter a liminal space for around 5 weeks. This involves leaving the ordinary world and entering the special world. It also includes the return to ordinary life.
