These myths serve as the foundation for understanding our origins, values, and the relationships between our tribal deities, ancestors, and the natural world. They provide us with a deep and symbolic connection to our spiritual heritage, guiding our spiritual practices, rituals, and worldview by illustrating the mysteries of the universe and the interplay between the mundane and the divine. These captivating tales hold the collective wisdom of our people, passing down knowledge and preserving our unique bessus for generations to come.
They also play a vital role in providing a mythical narrative to our holidays and festivals. These captivating narratives offer a deeper layer of meaning and significance to the special occasions when we come together to celebrate and honor significant events in our bessus.

Tegosnamon – Myth of the Home
Tegosnamon refers to the mythic cycle or sacred stories that belong to your Tegos — your household. Within Bessus Nouiogalation (BNG), while we share core myths and cosmology as a Touta, each home may also develop its own sacred narratives that reflect its land, ancestors, symbols, spirits, and lived experiences.
