Résumé

Pilgrimage attracts the seekers. Those with a question to answer, a problem to solve, a sin to atone for, an illness to be cured, a prayer to be answered. Pilgrims walk with a desire to make a change, to mark a boundary from one life to another, to heal, to escape. I needed all of these, and more. Perhaps you do, too. In mid-October 2020, I walked the Pilgrims' Way from Southwark Cathedral in London to Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, England.
The following year, in October 2021, as I recovered from COVID-19, I walked the St Cuthbert's Way from Melrose in Scotland to Lindisfarne, Holy Island, on the north-east coast of England. In September 2022, I walked the Camino de Santiago along the coastal route from Porto, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. These three solo pilgrimages helped me through a 'dark wood' in my life and changed how I see the way ahead.
In this book, I share my lessons learned and insights from walking these ancient ways, as well as historical, religious and cultural aspects, and plenty of tips. There are also questions for you to consider around your own journey. Part 1 goes into practical and spiritual preparation before pilgrimage, including how to make decisions about the route and whether to walk solo, as well as what to take with you, and how to face the fears that might hold you back. Part 2 covers the journey itself with the practicalities of the pilgrim's day, as well as how walking the path of history and facing the challenge of the way can give you much-needed perspective on life - and perhaps even a glimpse of the divine. Part 3 addresses the arrival at your destination, and how to leave room for the gifts of pilgrimage to emerge after your return home, as well as how my three walks impacted my experience of mid-life. At the end, you'll find appendices with practical tips for each of the three ways, as well as a gear list and bibliography for further reading.
I hope you find this book useful if you feel a call to pilgrimage, or a need for change in your life. These three walks have certainly been pivotal for me.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de J.F. Penn

Oxford educated, British born J. F. Penn has traveled the world in her study of religion and psychology. She brings these obsessions as well as a love for thrillers and an interest in the supernatural to her writing. Her fast-paced thrillers weave together historical artifacts, secret societies, global locations, violence, a kick-ass protagonist and a hint of the supernatural.- See more at: http://jfpenn.com/#sthash.4kXn567K.dpuf
