Image and Pilgrimage Post 2

Turner describes how, " for the majority, pilgrimage was the great liminal experience of the religious life" and this is because one's own self discovery can occur. Pilgrimage offers something in return to the Pilgrim, but only when the journey is truly and deeply affecting on the person taking it. For example, " Pilgrimage, then, offers liberation from profane social structures that are symbiotic with a specific religion system" and thus this liberation comes from the liminal experience. So Pilgrimage awakens a liberation from the way of life in the hopes of improving the spiritual life of people.
