Publisher Description

There are two kinds of people in this world. One seeks wisdom; the other, seeks gratification. One is angered by injustice; the other is unconcerned. One is loyal to all living brothers and sisters; the other is loyal to a nation. One rejects dogma and thinks independently; the other blindly bows to authority, ridiculing free thinkers. One stands up to oppression; the other does nothing Which one are you? We, in modern Europe, have strayed from our Natural Path. Our rich ancestral wisdoms are in danger of being lost, plunging us into chaos and despair as we tear ourselves away from the energy that created and sustains us. Using the Lakota Tribe as both an example and a beacon, Calling to the White Tribe exposes Organized Religion, false Democracies, Superstition and modern-man lifestyle models for the destructive forces they really are in order that generations to come will be free and know the value and purpose of humanity s place on Mother Earth.

Worth the Read

I loved Spirituality for America, and I was really hoping that this would give sources for his comments that there were parallels between indigenous spirituality in North America and Celtic spirituality in the British Isles. Calling to the White Tribe is simply a more concise version of Spirituality for America. For that reason, I would suggest Calling to the White Tribe over that other.

Sadly, the sources were exactly the same between the two books, and one of the slight differences, which he admits was his opinion, is actually wrong. He says that in traditional Sioux ritual, one starts in one direction and moves in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere. In traditional Celtic ritual, one starts in one direction and always moves “sunwise” (counterclockwise) no matter what hemisphere one may be on.

I feel like this was a real missed opportunity for McGaa to really make the case he wanted to make in this particular book. Clearly he’s had conversations with people who practice traditional Celtic ways, as his forward is written by a leader of traditional, pre-Christian practices in the Scottish Highlands, Barbara Meiklejohn-Free. Maybe I was just expecting his scope to be different from what he intended it to be.

This is still a great book. I would highly recommend it for anyone recovering from the abuses (spiritual, mental, or physical) of organised religion. If you’ve already read Spirituality for America, you can skip this one. If not, read this one instead.

My review of Spirituality for America still stands for this one:
A much different perspective than most westerners have of the world. If you’re all about organised religion, you’re going to hate this book. Don’t worry, you’re not his target audience so you can skip this. If you’re all about the realities of history, you’ll love this. McGaa is honest about when he’s presenting his own opinion. It’s all about personal ethics and morality.
