Camino conspiracy

Hi there - yes you're right. The Camino is an enourmous conspiracy. The descendants of the Knights Templar went on to establish a number of large companies - amongst them the big names of outdoors gear (lowe alpine, deuter, scarpa...gore tex etc). The families have therefore perpetuated the Camino, selling it as a religious pilgrimage in order to make enourmous amounts of money from the thousands of pilgrims travelling each year. Indeed - I do believe they seed the clouds over northern spain in order to make the weather a bit wetter (waterproofs are obviously more expensive than dry weather clothes.)

This is all backed up by a collusion with the Freemasons....well known for their involvement in the manafacture of Compeed (the design of which was given to them by aliens landing at Avebury along the clearly delineated ley lines).

It is predominantly supposed to be a catholic pilgrimage but other christian faiths are allowed to go as they tend to be the easiest to part from their money.

Of course....you could always do a little research yourself but if I was you I would just take my word for it all, get yourself some monstourously expensive outdoors gear and start walking. I get the impression there are many many answers on the Camino - perhaps even yours?

Hope you find what you're looking for.

don't forget Mary Magdalene. She's in charge of the publishing side of things, making sure millions of people buy poorly researched books full of half-baked theories

Ah - many a true word spoken in jest!

The conspiracy theory leads back to about 389 AD when an avant-garde priest by the name of Prisciliano was executed - for being a heretic - wanting to grow his hair long and dance at mass, the abolition of slavery and the promotion of the equality between men and women (hippy long before his time!) He was then buried in Galicia. His followers were really miffed when he was snuffed so they started trekking to his tomb in ever increasing numbers until a whole legend built up around him. Old King Teodomiro decided he'd had a guts full of this so he invented the story about finding James the Greater's bones in the tomb and the rest is history (legend? Conspiracy?) You decide!
