Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela

[Priscillian]

If anyone is interested, here is the link to a recent radio interview concerning my camino and my recent book. It´s posted on my website. There will also be a TV interview which featured a lot of really great footage of the Camino and I will be adding it on my website sometime this week, possibly You Tube too if I can figure out how! Pilgrimage to Heresy is also under review with no less than 5 Spanish publishers so with luck, a translation within the year. ("Ojala"!)

Congratulations on your success Tracy! All your hard work is paying off. I hope Priscilano is dancing in the aisles of his heavenly church at the news!
Hugs.

A number of people have asked me to post the links to a recent television programme about Priscillian and Priscillianism. I was asked to be a guest speaker on this three part series.
Here are the links for anyone interested:

Priscillian, as you may know, was an advocate of the vegetarian lifestyle, which is why I was asked to be a part of this interview. I am not a member of the Supreme Master Ching Hai´s group of followers, but I am intrigued nevertheless by the simplicity espoused in their beliefs.

In addition, for Spanish members in particular, Pilgrimage to Heresy has been optioned by the Spanish publisher Algaida, a division of the prestigious Anaya group for a large initial print run in anticipation of the Holy Year of 2010. When all is finalised, I´ll let you all have more details.
In the meantime, thank you all for your gracious and enthusiastic response to this rather different approach to the Compostela Pilgrimage.

this rather different approach to the Compostela Pilgrimage

Congratulations, Tracy, with the promising news about your success in different fields!
Your beautiful style of writing (and giving interviews) surely deserves a broader public!

It´s official! Pilgrimage to Heresy is to be published by Editoriales Algaida a division of the very prestigeous ANAYA group here in Spain. They are going to work on the translation and I have had loads of input from the Spanish Peregrinos who in general say (in Spanish!): "Yeah. Priscillian. In Compostela. We know that." Odd that the rest of us should find it such a surprise. But the "book" is not closed: there are always other possibilities and I am looking into them. That's what makes this topic so intriguing! In the meantime am working on book two and Diego Pelaez the bishop who came before Diego Gelmirez the one we usually credit with the building of the cathedral. Lots of intrigue there I can tell you!
Thank you all for your PMs and info and encouragement.

P.S. When I was in Santiago in April, I spied, from the "back" of the cathedral (the sort of "pointy bit" and through the railings, more or less opposite the door which is only opened in Holy Years - wish I could draw a map!) a marble sarcophagus, pink in colour, illuminated by a small light and just visible through the railings. I asked and asked but no-one could tell me what it was and it isn´t shown on any of the drawings of the cathedral, except as a sacristy or dressing room(it´s too open: I can't see this myself), but nobody knew/wanted to talk of this casket, as it was obvious that this was what it was.
If anyone in Compostela can get any more information as to what this is, I would be very grateful indeed. It may have no real significance but to me it adds to the mystery of St. James.
Buen Camino to all,
"Priscillian"

Well done! It must be Soooo... exciting and gratifying for you for all your hard work to pay off.
Why not email the pilgrim's office about the casket you saw?
