But there may be a more personal connection linked to the goal. religions and new-age philosophy. Part one describes the cultural and historical background to pilgrimage, and takes the reader through each stage. Drawing from particular examples, it offers practical advice for self-preparation, the journey, the arrival and the return home. how to get there and what to take. The book aims to encourage readers to experience being a pilgrim.
