The Pilgrimage (, "Diary of a Magus") is a 1987 novel by novelist Paulo Coelho. It is a recollection of Paulo's experiences as he made his way across northern Spain on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. The novel serves as part adventure story, part guide to self-discovery. It was adapted into the 1997 adventure game , also written by Paulo Coelho.
He begins his journey with a guide, also a member of RAM, who goes by the Pseudonym Petrus. During the journey Petrus shows him meditation exercises and introduces him to some of the more down-to-earth elements of Western world mysticism thought and philosophy, and teaches him about love and its forms: agape, philia and eros.
However, the disciple considered those useless challenges as triumphs. As they neared the end of the Camino, the guru left his disciple, who began hearing voices. Nevertheless, he reached the next chapel, where the guru awaited him as a surprise with a ritual sword as a reward. The disciple knew he must wield the sword frequently, though its practical use remained unclear.
