Camino

When long-time trekker, writer, and anthropologist Beebe Bahrami made her first full 500-mile hike on the Camino de Santiago, via the Way of Saint James, across southern France and northern Spain, she met French and Spanish pilgrims who told her that the Camino was more than a Christian pilgrimage. They explained that it was also a great leyline, a path of earth energy that could transform one by walking. They added that under the 1,200-year-old Christian pilgrimage road, a more ancient, preChristian initiatory path could take one deeper into spiritual experience and consciousness. A person engaged it by looking for signs along the way. Signs? Many, she learned, but that the most potent were those associated with the goose.
