Somebody mentioned a shaman of Umath on the Daily, I think a bit prior to KoS and the info about the Kolating shamans in there.
I am rather in favour to access the shamanic powers of the earth via Earth Witch, and make the primal elements a personal and heroic affair, similar to the Powers.
I lack evidence for this except through King Sartar, who was said to have "mastered the Change (Mobility) Rune". Rather than to access the actual entity, these individuals directly access the powers the Celestial Court member embodied than directly worship it.
Of course I contradict myself with this. Illumination? <g>
