In the past, pilgrims walking El Camino greeted each other in Latin with the salutation: Ultreia, meaning, ‘keep going, go beyond.’ The reply in Latin was Et Suseia, meaning, go higher…. This is our path forward... Ultreia, Et Suseia... Gate Gate Para Gate Para Sam Gate Bodhi Svaha! Gate Gate Para Gate Para Sam Gate Bodhi Svaha!

​"​THE BEAST OF GEVAUDAN" Saint-James Way - Camino de Santiago - Saint-Jacques de Compostelle Via Podiensis & Camino Francés Day ​4 - Saugues to Le Sauvage (19.5km) The Beast of Gevaudan is the man-eating gray wolf, dog or wolfdog that terrorized the former province of Gévaudan (modern-day département of Lozère and part of Haute-Loire), in the Margeride Mountains which I am crossing on this photo, between 1764 and 1767. The attacks, which covered an area stretching 90 by 80 kilometres (56 by 50 mi), were said to have been committed by a beast or beasts that had formidable teeth and immense tails according to contemporary eyewitnesses. Victims were often killed by having their throats torn out. The Kingdom of France used a considerable amount of manpower and money to hunt the animals, including the resources of several nobles, soldiers, civilians, and a number of royal huntsmen. The killing of the creature that eventually marked the end of the attacks is credited to a local hunter named Jean Chastel, who shot it during a hunt organised by a local nobleman, the Marquis d'Argent, on June 19, 1767. Writers later introduced the idea that Chastel shot the creature with a bullet self made with silver and upon being opened, the animal's stomach was shown to contain human remains (source Wikipedia). _____________________ ​ #beastofgevaudan #saugues#saintjamesway#caminodesantiagodecompostela#cheminsdecompostelle#chemindecompostelle#saintjamesway2016#stjamesway#wayofstjames#theway#camino#everydaycamino#caminodesantiago#caminodesantiago2016#pilgrimage#pilgrimage2016​ ​#camino2016​ ​#ultreia#buencamino​ #chemins_de_compostelle#caminodesantiagopage #viapodiensis #gevaudantourisme _____________________ @everydaycamino​ ​​@_caminosantiago _____________________ #france #france🇫🇷​ ​#visitfrance#travelinfrance _____________________ #iphonography © April 2​2, 2016 William Lesourd ___THANKS FOR ACCOMPANYING ME ON THE CAMINO___​ (à Circuit le Plateau de la Margeride)
