small bits of info on Turkic deities

Some of these I cant find tons of information on. So im going to compile them all here, I hope this information is useful to some people

Burkut -

She is a knowledgeable, elderly woman who lives in a cave atop a massive mountain someplace at the end of the earth. She rides the winds, causing storms and whirlwinds. Szelanya also has a Slavic counterpart, a nymph with wind power who enjoys generating storms. She lives near hills, mountains, and tall mounds.

In Hungarian and Turkic folklore, she is also described as a feminine fairy-like spirit that dwells in the forest and occasionally in the skies.

Yel ana-

In Turkic mythology, the Yel İye are feminine fairy-like spirits that reside in the forest and occasionally in the skies. They were thought to be the spirits of women who had been frivolous in their lives and were now suspended between the physical world and the afterlife. They are frequently shown as lovely maidens, either nude or clad in shimmering gorgeous white costumes and extraordinary spectacular gowns.

According to legend, removing even one of Yel İyesi's hairs causes her to die or revert to her original form. A human can seize control of a Yel İyesi by taking a portion of her hair. If the hair is burned, the Yel İyesi disappears. The Yel İye's magnificent voices create powerful winds that may carry houses into the air. Despite their feminine appearance, the Yel İye are ferocious warriors. The ground is reported to quake when they fight. They possess healing and prophetic abilities and are occasionally ready to assist humans.

Yel Ana, also known as Cel Ene, is the Turkic and Altai goddess of the wind. Also known as the Goddess of Guidance. She is the female version of Yel Iyesi. The name Yel Ene translates to 'Wind Mother. Szel Anya is known as the "queen of wind" in Hungarian mythology.[1] She's a clever woman. Szélanya (Wind Mother), an ancient woman, controls the wind.

Aisyt-

Ajyyhyt (Aysyt, Ajsyt, or Ajyhyt; Yakut: Айыыһыт) is a deity of the Yakut people from the Lena River area of Siberia. The name means "birthgiver," and she is sometimes referred to as the "mother of cradles."[1] Her full name is Айыыһыт Хотyн, which means "birth-giving nourishing mother".[Citation required] At each baby's birth, Aisyt brings the soul from heaven and registers it in the Golden Book of Fate. She is the daughter of Yer Tanrı.

Ajysyt was in charge of guiding a newborn child's soul to birth and was present at every birth. Women would channel Ajysyt, believing that it would reduce their agony during childbirth.[1] She maintained a gold journal where she chronicled each one. She is claimed to have lived on a mountaintop in a seven-story house,[1] from which she ruled the globe.

Yakut venerate a kind of ajyy (Yakut: Айыы). The principal manifestation, "Njelbey Ajyhyt," is responsible for childbirth. Djøhøgøj Tojon is responsible for horse reproduction, Ihegej Iejehsit for oxen, and Noruluya for dogs and foxes. When referring to the deity responsible for the birth of male animals such as stallions or bulls, the term ajysyt is interpreted to mean masculine. However, when referring to the birth of a mare or cow, the term is feminine.

Su iyesi-

Su Iyesi (Tatar: Сy Иясе or Su İyäse; Chuvash: Шыв Ийҗ; Sakha: Уу Иччи; meaning "water master") is a water spirit in Turkic mythology. It is equivalent to the nymph in Turkic civilizations. The entity is disembodied and intangible, yet it may transform into a female being and become Yer Tanrı's daughter. Sometimes the master of water is represented as a bull.

When angry, it destroys dams, sweeps away water mills, and drowns humans and animals. It takes individuals down to her undersea home to serve her as slaves. In Tatar folk stories, this figure is also known as the Su Anası ("water mother"). In Turkic folklore, it dwells in ponds or rivers. There is no mention of a specific house, and the 'half-sunken log' is not visible. To go about, it rides a log.

Su Iyesi is sometimes linked to dangerous events like floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drownings. In some Turkic folk beliefs, she might be kind or beneficial while simultaneously causing rain. It is thought that some potent Su Iyes, such as Su Dedesi, might induce illness. Water Disease, which he supposedly produced, manifests as watery bubbles in the human body. To get rid of salt, throw it into a river or fountain.

Su Ana ("water mother") is frequently referenced as the feminine equivalent of Su Iyesi. She is described as a nude young woman with a fairy-like face and yellow and long hair, which is generally coated in black fish scales. She has a fish tail and eyes that glow like fire. She generally rides around her river on a partially submerged log, generating loud splashes. Su Anası are believed to be responsible for local drowning incidents. She is the wife of Su Ata. She enjoys beaches and getting out of the water.

Od iyesi-

Od iyesi (Tatar: Ут Иясе or Ut İyäse; Chuvash: Вут Ийҗ; Sakha: Уoт Иччи) is the Turkic and Mongolian spirit or deity of fire. In Turkic languages, Od (or Ot) denotes fire, while Iye is the familiar spirit of any natural asset, literally meaning "master" or "possessor." Od iyesi shields the fire. Od Ana is the Turkish and Mongolian goddess of fire. She is also known as the goddess of marriage. She is the feminine version of Od iyesi. The Altay name Ot Ene translates as "fire mother" (od "fire"; ene "mother"). In Mongolian tradition, she is known as the "Queen of Fire." She was claimed to have been born at the beginning of the world, when the earth and heaven divided, as the daughter of Yer Tanrı.

Some compare her to Umai, the mother deity of Turkic Siberians, who is shown with sixty golden tresses like sun rays. Umai is supposed to have been the same as Ot of the Mongols. Tengri, the main deity, causes three flames to burn in the human spirit, which Od Ana hides and extinguishes on Earth. Today, Turkish people refer to this as "cemre," the fire that descends on Air, Earth, and Water each year.

Od Ata is the Mongolian and Turkic/Altai deity of fire. He is the male version of Od Iyesi. Od Ede translates to 'Fire Father' in the Altay language. He is known as the Od Khan, or "king of fire" in Mongolian tradition. Od Khan (or Odqan) is a fire spirit associated with Mongolian shamanism. He is typically characterised as a red-colored person riding a brown goat. His feminine counterpart is Yalun Eke (Yalın Eke), the 'fire mother' and Kayra's son.

Yer tanri-

Yer Tanrı is an Earth deity in Turkish and Altaic folk belief and mythology, also known as Yertengri or Certenger. It can signify wickedness, humanity, and sensual shapes. It remains in the backdrop, adjacent to the Gök Tengri. It is not often shown in human form. However, it is frequently viewed as a feminine entity. The Earth or World is referred to as "Yertinç / Yerdinç". Tengri is offered a white chicken as a sacrifice. Sometimes fish, lambs, and oxen are sacrificed. Specifically, his head is buried in the earth. In some stories, weak and fragile children are buried by their parents, where they become stronger and emerge as heroic three days later.

Infertile ladies pray to Mother Earth beside a sacred tree. In fairy tales, Mother Earth breastfeeds the heroes once from her right breast and twice from her left breast, giving the heroic enormous power. In Yakut heroic epics, the brave individuals who would be invincible in the future are fragile and helpless as children. Even their parents are unwilling to accept them. After being nourished by the Earth God (Yer Tanrı), these youngsters transform into legendary heroes after being buried in the dirt. This is still the meaning of shaking mad persons into wells in several Anatolian regions.

It is stated that there are no images of the earth deity. They sometimes refer to her as a white-haired woman who lives in the trunk of a great beech tree. The branches of this tree rise up to the sky, which is owned by the spirit who gives people the most beautiful horses as presents.

Yereh Khan is the family god of Turkish and Altaic mythology. The earth is an entity related to the notion of God. Protects the family and house. Because he like onions, a sacrificial vaccination is left for him with the onions. The term shares the same origin as the verb to settle. In Mongolian, yeröh means "wish." It lives in baskets made of tree bark that are placed behind doors.

The baskets built for him are also known as Yereh. Yereh Türkelli is the name given to these baskets that have been passed down seven generations. When young ladies marry, they take their baskets (guardian spirits) with them, and the notion of dowry is most likely founded on this tradition. He is prayed for to be healed of skin disorders. The term shares the same origin as the verb to settle. In Mongolian, yeröh means "wish."

Etugen eke-

Etügen Eke ("Mother Earth"), also known as Itügen or Etügen Ekhe, is an earth deity in Tengrism. She was said to be permanently virginal. "Etugen" refers to a lady and Kayra's daughter. Her name might be derived from Ötüken, an ancient Turkish goddess of fertility and the sacred mountain of the earth Etugen is occasionally paired with a male counterpart named Natigai or Nachigai (Natikai, Natıkay), however this is most likely a mistake due to Etugen's mispronunciation. In legend, Etugen is commonly shown as a young woman riding a grey bull.

Etugen existed in the centre of the universe. The Turkic people saw Etugen as a voluptuous, attractive woman who served as the patroness of the homeland and nature. All living things were subservient to her. As a result, the Turkic people regarded Etugen as the second highest divinity, behind Kök-Tengri. Tengri dominated the fate of individuals and nations, until natural forces gave way to Etugen. Etugen would occasionally punish people for their faults under Tengri's order.

But she was typically regarded as a beneficent Goddess. Every spring, offerings were performed to the goddess Etugen before the cattle-breeding season and agricultural sowing. Sacrifices were also carried out in the fall, once the harvest was over. During the Khaganate period,[8] sacrifices to Etugen were national in scope. They were carried out around rivers and lakeshores. A reddish horse was sacrificed in the name of livestock and crop fertility, as well as general well-being.

Kormos-

Kormos or Kormoz (Tuvan: кормоc; Turkish: Körmöz or Körmös) are Turkic mythological spirits, sometimes known as ghosts or devils. In Turkic languages, "kormos" implies "does not see" or "blind". The term can also denote "mentally ill". Kormoses are wicked spirits from Turkic mythology that live in the underworld. Because a soul may transform into a Kormos after death, they are frequently linked to ancestor spirits. Other names for them include Alban, Chahik, Ozor, and others.

Ülgen commands the Angelic Kormoses, who assist and defend humanity. Erlik commands the demonic Kormoses [also known as "Sokor Körmös" (blind angels)], who frequently inhabit the underworld and attack humanity. The last Kormoses are neither good nor evil, and they walk the Earth in a sad state. Souls transformed into Demonic Kormoses after death can escape the anguish and rise to Uçmag if the good in their core outweighs the evil.

They are all good and malevolent spirits. Körmös Khan is their chief.

Jaiyk-

Jaiyk, also known as Cayık or Jayık Khan, is the deity of rivers in Tengrism. He is a significant deity in traditional beliefs. Jaiyk was originally referred to as Dayık in Altai mythology. He was initially the patron deity of humanity and the son of Kayra, but his religion eventually extended throughout Central Asian tribes. He was the god of rivers, water, and lake water.

Jaiyk is seen as a young guy holding a scourge in his hand. He lives at the confluence of seventeen rivers. Jaiyk possesses all of the power of water and can create storms on the water. If he becomes upset, he creates and causes floods on Earth. Jaiyk commands all of the rivers and lakes. He sends ghosts to every river. Every river or stream has an İye (protective spirit or divinity). The Tengrist conception of the deity appears to connect him with both the destructive and purifying properties of water.

According to old traditions and beliefs, water and rivers are sacred phenomena capable of purifying everything. People used to be required to respect the water in their homes and social settings. A protective spirit (familiar spirit) resides in the sea. If he is furious, he may be dangerous to people. Because of this rude behaviour, the water may go dry. As a result, Tengrist's literature and oral storytelling contain warning tales and stories of disrespect towards water. The Great Law of Genghis Khan (Yassa) prescribes severe punishments for anybody who pollutes water or rivers.

Alaz Kahn-

Alaz is the deity of fire in Turkish mythology. Also known as Alas-Batyr or Alaz Khan. He is a significant divinity in folk beliefs and the son of Kayra.

Alaz Khan is represented as an elderly guy holding a torch in his hand. He resides in Ulugh Od (Turkish: Uluğ Od, "Great Fire"). His garment is formed of flames, and Alaz Khan possesses the power of fire. When Alaz Khan grows enraged, he starts and spreads flames on Earth. Alaz Khan commands all of the hearths and stoves. He distributes spirits to every hearth. Every fire or hearth has an İye, which is a protective spirit or divinity. The Turkic notion of the deity appears to relate him with both the destructive and purifying properties of fire.

According to old Turkic traditions and beliefs, fire is a sacred phenomena that may purify everything, including spirits and souls. People are obligated to respect the fire in their families and social settings. According to popular belief, a protective spirit (familiar spirit) resides within fire. If it was furious, it might cause harm to humanity. Because of this rude behaviour, the fire may be quenched. As a result, Tengrist traditional oral traditions portrayed horrifying stories of disrespect to fire. The Great Law of Genghis Khan (Dead Law) imposed severe punishments on anybody who showed contempt to fire.

Bai Baianai-

Bai Baianai (Old Turkic: 𐰉𐰀𐰖 𐰉𐰀𐰖𐰀𐰣𐰀𐰖) is the Yakut spirit of forests, animals, and the patron of hunters. Hunters kindle fires and hope that their job will be fruitful and without incident. In certain traditions, she guards children. She is considered a lineage protector.

Baianai was the ancient Turkish goddess of animals, riches, and fertility. She was venerated over what is today known as Altai and Sakha. Her name translates as "rich, fertile, and wealthy". She was Kayra's daughter. Baianai, a woods fairy or protective spirit, appears in Turkic-Altaic folklore and mythology. In Central Asia, she's known as Payna. There are three Baianas:

Bai Baianai, the Goddess of Hunting.

Tagh Baianai, the Goddess of Forests.

Ughu Baianai: Goddess of Fisheries

Baianai are frequently represented as ethereal maidens with long, flowing hair and, on occasion, wings. They are frequently clad in free-flowing dresses embellished with feathers that allow them to fly like birds. Baianai is typically depicted as a blonde, tall, slim woman with pale, bright complexion and blazing eyes. Baianais are thought to be extraordinarily attractive ladies with a strong affinity for fire. They have the ability to cause drought, burn a farmer's crops, or cause livestock to die from high fever. It is reported that when a Baianai becomes angry, she transforms into a monster bird capable of hurling fire at her foes.
