WELCOME
Owl Clan is a group of solitary practitioners who come together to teach and learn about several traditions of Shamanism. We also teach witch skills and go beyond 101 skills. We do come together on some holidays in person.
We are a community of people who except each others differences. We respect and love each other first and foremost.
Although we do love a good time so anytime clan gets together you can bet some laughter comes with it.
The Vision we have is that we come together and learn and grow with each other. Even if you don't want to take classes we want this clan to be a place for community. Classes are not required to be in the clan. We have a vision of community in a time when community is so important for our mental health. Any faith is welcome as long as you are respectful of someone else's religion. Shamanism isn't a religion it is a spirituality. We welcome all who can agree to disagree and still stay respectful in the disagreement. We know family argues, and that's what we strive to be, it's how we handle it that speaks volumes. Please read the entire site because we have posted our ethics as well.
Owl Clan beginnings and where we are today.....Forever growing and learning!
Our history and growth
Owl clan started out as my brain child (Tuska bok Tuklo, warrior that walks rivers), I started with 4 people and taught Celtic shamanism along with some witch craft. I teach because I believe the world needs more shamans. Those that can bring back the old ways of healing and create peace.
I have always been nature's child and I am a retired Army SFC, so the name Tuska bok Tuklo was given to me by a Choctaw warrior shaman who is in our clan now and is a clan Elder. The spirits guided him to my name and I wear it proudly.
We now teach 3 levels of witch craft, 3 levels of Celtic Shamanism and 3 levels of Native Shamanism. Since our family has grown we have expanded our teachings. We are now teaching Haitian Voodoo, lead by our clan Father Ryan Taylor.
We hope to continue adding to our teachings as we gather folks who have the education and knowledge to teach them.
We lead with three Elders and Clan mother/father. We do teach leadership and have some in clan learning leadership so one day they will get a chance to lead as either Clan Mother or Clan Father.
We have leadership to help solve conflicts in the clan. We are all equals in this clan.
You have a beginning
OUR SPIRIT
We are a community that invites all to join us and we are truly all inclusive. Any spiritual path is welcome as well as any religious path.
As a clan we treat each other with respect and we don't care about your political affiliation because we believe in open conversation with respect to each other. We believe in the constitution and the rights there not a political party. However if you are affiliated, you are an American and have a right to that. We come together as a group of spiritual people and focus on that in our gatherings. We teach community and family with all paths. Our focus lies in two places Shamanism and witch craft. The first of the two being the larger focus.
We cherish, respect nature and all that it offers us.

Shamanic Code Of Ethics
Here are some ethical principles that we Shamans around the world strive to uphold, along with explanations of what each ethic means:
1. **Harm None** - Shamans aim to do no harm in their work. This includes avoiding actions that could cause physical, emotional, or spiritual harm to others, including clients, communities, and the natural world.
2. **Respect for Free Will** - Shamans respect the autonomy and free will of individuals. They do not impose their will on others or manipulate them against their wishes. Consent and voluntary participation in healing or spiritual practices are important.
3. **Confidentiality** - Shamans often work with individuals on deeply personal and sensitive matters. It is important for them to maintain the confidentiality of their clients and respect their privacy.
4. **Integrity and Honesty** - Shamans are expected to act with integrity, honesty, and transparency in their interactions with others. They should be trustworthy and truthful in their words and actions.
5. **Cultural Sensitivity** - Shamans should be aware of and respect cultural differences and practices. While they shouldn't misrepresent other cultures, it is the goal to make sure to learn from them. We are all children under the same sun.
6. **Self-Reflection and Growth** - Shamans should engage in ongoing self-reflection, personal growth, and learning to better serve their communities and clients. They should be open to feedback and willing to continually improve their skills and practices.
7. **Service and Healing** - Shamans are often seen as healers and spiritual guides within their communities. They should approach their work with a spirit of service, compassion, and a genuine desire to help others.
8. **Respect for Nature and the Spirit World** - Shamans typically have a deep reverence for nature and the spiritual realms. They should work in harmony with the natural world and the spirits, seeking to maintain balance and reciprocity in their relationships.
These principles are not exhaustive, and different shamanic traditions may have additional or slightly different ethical guidelines. However, the one thing to remember is:
When we focus on helping others, we are truly part of what makes life more beautiful.
