Pilgrim Journeys by Sally Welch



Although the chapters in this book are linked to different pilgrim routes the link is very loose and instead they focus on a theme associated with some aspect of pilgrimage.

This is not really a travelogue or a guide book but a meditation on the emotional and spiritual experience of walking pilgrimages rather than the physical or practice consideration.

It probably serves as a useful introduction before making a pilgrimage for the first time, or as a tool to help organise and understand the experience for a new walker – maybe on the road, maybe after returning home to ease the post-pilgrimage blues when you find yourself back in so-called reality.
