"Sacred Journeys" is an indispensable guide to the rich experience of the pilgrimage. Beautifully illustrated throughout with full-color photographs, part one walks the reader through the twelve stages that are common to all pilgrimages. Part two is a concise guide to the essential routes, sites, temples, landscapes, and shrines around the world from Mt. Kailas in Tibet, Santiago de Compostela in Spain, the Ganges River in India, Croagh Patrick in Ireland, and Angkor Wat in Cambodia, to some of the smaller sites, festivals, and natural phenomena, such as the pillar of ice in Armanath Cave in Kashmir or the Hopi farewell dance to the Kachina spirits in Arizona's Painted Desert. Quotations, meditations, and writings drawn from the great world literature of spiritual journeys enhance the text.
