Santiago Traveller Douglas John McPhillips

This is a story of physical endurance, spiritual aspiration, historic myth and the startling truth that beam a guiding light to the struggles of modern man. It is the story of myth, legends and folklore that the writer uncovers as he walks his third Camino de Santiago, looking back on his first and second pilgrimages.

The way of pilgrimage uncovers outward signs and symbols that lead through the myths of the finite world to infinite completeness. The lessons herein set a template for living that to a great degree is lacking in our modern hedonistic lifestyle.

The story uncovers myths of the Camino, lessons of romantic lust, false belief in medical treatment for mental abnormalities and a desire to fulfil symbolic needs that can only be satisfied through the language of the heart.

Whilst tramping his happy path of destiny, the writer happens upon critical clues and evidence that help solve a present-day murder and discovers the third secret of Fatima which proves to be a catalyst to saving the world from a 21st Century Armageddon.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a vision for the future, inward spiritual guidance and healing. It is also an engaging read for "Atlas eaters" wishing to learn more about the Camino Way. Bookworms will enjoy this journey as a "good yarn."
