Journey to the Sea

This pilgrimage is dedicated to Manann, and is often the last act of an aging seaman or other crusty dog that feels his time is almost done. The pilgrimage begins at the Temple of Manann in Marienburg and follows the River Reik through Altdorf, then onto the River Stir, ending at Krugenheim. During this journey the cultist contemplates how the sea, and thus Manann, pulls farther and farther away. This distance is the symbol for death. Once the pilgrim reaches the Temple of Manann outside the city of Krugenheim, he leaves behind any worldly possessions that are connected to a life at sea. The pilgrim then returns following the same route—each step towards the sea bringing him closer to Manann and his final reward. Pilgrims wear blue robes adorned with Manann’s wave pattern symbol while on this journey. The particularly zealous row themselves, and drag small boat anchors or old oars behind them as they make their way to Krugenheim, to increase the time and difficulty of the trip. After such a difficult journey, many pilgrims die on the spot once they return to the temple in Marienburg, their pilgrimage complete.
