...all pilgrims have their own view. Mine has a lot to do with the twin aspect in mythology that Ms King writes about. To me it works like a mirror." *
In that mirror I saw myself. It gave me some answers about what I was doing there and what Santiago did to me.
The message is so clear that...
Today the view count of The Santiago Enigma passed 11.000 and still nobody confirmed what I saw back in ‘83. *

So let’s have lunch there soon so we can discuss what these facial similarities in the...
Splendid! Now we're getting somewhere. I thought about a template at first and that's what I've been told before, but... somewhere [I'll try to find it back] I read that Mateo selected local characters for the faces of his lesser gods. So, the question remains: why a template for the main...
Hi Terry,
Thank you for your reaction! If I remember correctly we already PM'd about this back in 2008.
At the time I was also asked the same [I remember the word misery], but others pleaded 'not to make it too easy'.
Anyway, this is not about what the message of the Pórtico means to me but...
Let's please stick to the topic here...
Maybe, but The Santiago Enigma contains a serious question on reading a stone bible and interpreting an iconographic programm. This is not about mysteries or illusions but about seeing what you are looking at. Anyone? [Please PM me on the other also...
Thank you for your intriguing reaction, Rebekah! But, what are you trying to say actually? I do share some of the feelings you are pointing at. It was a once in a lifetime event and it changed my view at art. The beauty was its simplicity; anyone can see it in an instance. I do wish we could...
Santiago Enigma - Pórtico - facial similarities- message
Yesterday the count did pass 10.000 and nobody has confirmed the message.
In July the pavillion were I spent so many happy hours watching the waves burnt down [picture below], but I was told it will rise from its ashes like a Phoenix next...
Re: Santiago Enigma > last post > last tabu?
Dear Michael,
Thank you very much for your warm reaction, but -with all due respect- these aspects are -as I already said above- not my goal. I'm especially interested in the historical aspects which I discuss a lot with my friends overhere and we got...
The other day on another popular santiagoforum it said that Jewish-born fisherman, James the elder, became a Christian in his lifetime and that touches precisely the core of the matter in the final question in the last post in topic 6491 on this forum. I can't discuss or argue that quote because...
My pilgrim friend Jeroen Gooskens mailed (and gave permission to post) this reaction that (knowing him) is very special and precious to me:

Re: The Santigo Enigma - the last post
Dear Tracy,
I'm so glad that you apparently arrived in Santiago in good health (apart from the usual aches and pains that will soon disappear) and high spirits and I'm very honoured to get a reaction so quickly after your arrival!
I do hope that we can...
Found some nice sites:
Pórtico de la Gloria - http://peregrinos.wordpress.com/info/mo ... la-gloria/

Is this on topic? The story goes that Saint James's message travelled from the Holy Land to Galicia not only by boat but also over land along the African shore of the Mediterranean. Ethiopia was an important station with an large Christian community. Another story tells about the Arc of the...
...advice to be careful with explaining facial similarities in the Gloria. That's right but with all due respect it is also a little beside my point. * This is not about my interpretation of Master Mateo's (or his commissioners) intentions and masterwork but about my initial experience:

...We all agreed on giving more pilgrims a fair chance of making their own discoveries in the Gloria and letting them enjoy their moments of Glory. *

Who was the true Jacob (Jacobus, James) of Santiago deCompostela?
* This further exploration of who exactly the historical Jacobus (Jacob, James) of Santiago de Compostela (Sint-Jacob = Sant-Iago = San Tiago) was, fits the broader framework of the discussion of the classic The Way of Saint...
I'm not, Gareth, so don't worry! It's not my cup of tea but still I'm fascinated by the mystics and mechanisms. What struck me was how exciting our times are and how history repeats ifself. Perhaps in some years the pilgrims of that era will wonder how this James/Peter/Paul sequel developed and...
While Wahrheit und Dichting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichtung_und_Wahrheit ) around the translation of St James to Santiago have faded into the mists of time, we're witnessing now an interesting new chapter as in Rome the tomb of St Paul has been and perhaps will be examined further...
