Book description
A pilgrimage-turned-adventure story in pursuit of a pagan mystery on the Camino de Santiago across France and Spain"In Beebe Bahrami's The Way of the Wild Goose, a mystery, the wild feminine, and trail magic come together on the Camino de Santiago....Bahrami affirms that the Camino is more than a mere road--it's an initiation. With skill and insight, she details the joys, challenges, and human kindness she experienced on this 'great leyline forged from the mix of natural earth energies with the human imagination' that became her road to self-discovery and a heart-centered life." --Foreword Reviews; starred reviewWith three pilgrimages across southern France and northern Spain defining author and anthropologist Beebe Bahrami's single journey on the Camino de Santiago, The Way of the Wild Goose recounts an inner and outer journey full of wild nature, ancient roads and history, quirky pilgrims, wise and humorous locals, and mysterious folklore. It's a compelling tale of quest, initiation, and transformation following the Way of Saint James.The book is also a detective story that reveals an old mystery: Why is the goose associated with the medieval Camino de Santiago, and how did it come to preserve a whole universe of pagan, pre-Christian lore in one innocent symbol? Longtime trekker Bahrami decided to find out, and unknowingly catapulted herself into a true wild goose chase, unearthing a magnetically alive and meaningful long walk on the ancient roads in France and Spain--and a journey into the Self.
