 We are an association of people who have chosen to affiliate under the spiritual banner of Toteg Tribe. Toteg Tribe is modern spiritual and religious tradition based upon the shamanic visionary experiences of its members. Like indigenous cultures all over the globe, we do not separate our spirituality from our families, our societies, or the land on which we live. Therefore, as members of the Tribe, we give our devotion to the Earth Mother and the Sky Father and to Their Children, the Spirits of our lands; and pay due respect to our ancestors, without whom we would not be. Since we are not ancient Celts, Romans, Teutons, Egyptians, or members of other long-dead culture, we do not import the pantheons of those peoples into our Tribal beliefs and practices. Likewise since we are not Native Americans (or any other indigenous culture) we neither import nor lay claim to the customs or cosmology of those various peoples. If you wish to learn more about the ethics, philosophies, principles and practices of Toteg Tribe, visit our homepage. |
We are Toteg Tribe We know that all things are children of the Earth Mother and Sky Father, and thus we are all related. We learn the lessons Mother Earth teaches us through the languages of our brothers and sisters; all that breathes, swims, flies, moves, grows, changes and exists. We aspire to walk in balance on Mother Earth and live in harmony with all that is. We remember to speak with respect with all things. We honor and respect all of our ancestors, physical, cultural, and spiritual. We listen with consideration to those who choose to share their wisdom with us, and respect their rights to do so in their own way, in their own time. We invoke the power of spirit for our own dreams and visions for the guidance of ourselves and ourTribe. We respect your right to follow your own vision. We seek to find correctness, good judgment, learning and knowledge in all things. We practice personal responsibility in our daily lives. We are the Toteg Tribe. |
Mountain Shadows Clan  Mountain Shadows Clan of Toteg is a tribally-based association in Salt Lake City Utah, a Clan of Toteg Tribe. We are a resource for worship, sacred rites of passage, study, training in clergy skills,shamanic practice, environmental protection, and personal networking for those drawn to locally-based earth-centered spirituality. One need not become a member of Toteg Tribe to be a member of Mountain Shadows Clan, nor does one need to make any commitment of attendance, membership, or abandonment of other Coven, Circle or Church affiliations. A new Circle of MountainShadows Clan was formed on the 1st of October, 2004. Since that time regular meetings and ceremonies were held for several years, until, due to people moving out of the area, the Clan went inactive in December of 2006. On this writing, in June of 2009, MountainShadows Clan is reorganizing so that we may once again become active. We are currently acting as one of the sponsors of Salt Lake City Pagan Pride Day, to be held on Saturday, September 12th in Murray Park, as well as doing personal work to facilitate the spiritual paths of Clan Members. Regular meetings of MountainShadows Clan are held on the first Saturday of every month, unless that Saturday is a Sabbat date. Regular monthly Tribe meetings will be beginning this year on Saturday the eighth of August, where classes are beginning for new members on Toteg Tribe Spirituality. Our first meeting will be a lunch gathering at the home of the current Clan Doyen, Magpie Rainsinger. Please e-mail for directions. If you are interested in finding out about MountainShadows Clan, please contact the Doyen |
