"Pilgrimage systems are more "liminoid" (open, optational, not conceptualized as religious routine) than "liminal" (belonging to the mid-stage in a religious processual structure consisting of rites of separation, limen or margin, and reaggregation) (Turner, 231).
This means that pilgrimages are not always religiously based. They can be taken for many reasons such as an escape from reality, a place to think, even just for the views or exercise. They are open to altering based on individual preferences.
