cultural and spiritual) is practiced by the Toteg Tribe. These items are an example of potential
routes for this reverence and attention.
The Natural World
Since one of the foundations of our spiritual path stresses the importance of "where you live", it's
impossible for us to even consider identifying the best choices for your region and climate.
Instead, we offer a few general information books, along with a sampling of the type of books you
should be seeking for your location and personal use.

Divination
Toteg Tribe prefers folks make their own divination tools from inspiration and materials from the
natural world surrounding them where they live, but we understand that can take years of
observation, dedication, and collecting before being possible. Since divination can be an
important and powerful tool, it may be a good idea to begin with a tool that both resonates with you
and will work well with your particular talents and calling.

- Joseph Campbell
Wow. Joseph Campbell's lifelong study of Mythology provides a host of information and thought
provoking adventures for all spiritual paths, as well as giving us insight and reference to the rich
heritage humans have in the natural world. Things he addresses include topics such as: creation
stories, the importance of accepting death as rebirth, the rite of passage, the roll of Shamans, the
decline of ritual in today's society, the roll of sacrifice in myth, finding your own Sacred Places,
images of women (goddess, virgin, Mother Earth), and the concepts of God, religion and eternity.
