Keowee Tsalagi Indigenous Ministries
What is Tribeology?
Tribeology is a lifestyle practice of union of the mind, body, and spirit, a community, and union of energies to transform someone on the path of light. A path of progress, not perfection.
It was created to represent our culture and give the people of the Keowee Tsalagi Tribe and ministry — and all ministries under it — a path to follow, and as a word for our own style of indigenous spiritual growth and personal development that we now share with the world.
It represents the understanding and study of family and the possibilities of family. It represents connecting yourself to your divine or higher self and truth and community. It means being a student of magic and being a mystic. It means you are following a set of principles and morals, and it means walking the path of genuine light or being an anchor for divine light.
"The light can blind you if you're not developed. It can nourish you if you surrender to it, and it can become you if you trust it. Genuine light is the highest and most authentic form of light."
