The Pilgrimage

I started reading Paulo Caulo’s books few months ago after recommendation by a friend. First book that I started with was ‘Brida’ and it has left a great impact on me and in two days I finished and read it again & again… It was simply ultimate…. A master piece.


‘Brida’ forced me to read all books of the author each an ultimate gift in itself. I finished Pilgrimage few hours ago and it had, like ‘The Alchemist’, ‘The Valkyrines’ ,‘Veronica decides to die’……. left a very profound effect on my spiritual life.

I connected with experiences written in the book... its exercises…shadow approach for decision making… the fear of failure….the cruelty exercise....the legion…the messenger... the omens. My favorite ‘The Burial exercise’ was really breathtaking…. I felt Goosebumps because of the amazing experience, the description of the scene was simply awesome. Though sword and magic were secondary things for people like me. But the entire journey of ‘The Road of Santigo’ by ‘the common man’ had lots of teaching to offer.

It’s a great feeling to experience teaching with imagination…. It feels amazing when a book reveals its secrets in front of you as if things are just happening right there. I imagine myself singing, getting into trance & walking the path to discover my sword. When I read ‘The Pilgrimage’ it filled me with the feeling of joy, consciousness, courage and hopes to follow my heart.

I feel incredibly enriched and renewed after each read. It stirs my soul and my mind up. It’s indeed a source of inspiration and illumination. Really lovely.

Just want to say thanks to author for this encouraging, outstanding, enriching experience... of 'The Pilgrimage'... like The Pilgrim!

Inspired :)
