| description | Throughout history in all societies, sacrifice has been one of the man’s preferred ways
to get closer to God or to communicate with him. Even though the practices on the sacrifice
vary from society to society, they have basically remained the same. The Turks’ sense and
practice of sacrifice before being a Muslim correspond to ıdık/ızıh. In Siberia, this practice
has been continued until recently by non-Muslim Siberian Turks who partly continuing old
Turkish beliefs. Izıh sacrifice has individual aspects as well as social aspects. At the same
time, the economic dimension of ızıh sacrifice is worth to be examined as it happens in every
sacrifice. When considered from this point of view, the latest examples of the above-mentioned
practices of sacrifice performed in the USSR have been one of the accelerating factors
of complete disappearance. In the belief systems of specifically Khakass Turks and generally
Siberian Turks, the disappearance of the sacrifice has greatly affected (in negative sense)
their traditional belief systems. Because the practices and rituals about ızıh have included
the different dimensions of belief, and its disappearance has caused the disappearance of the
other elements that belong to this belief. This article focuses on Khakass beliefs about ızıhs
which are dedicated animals to Khakass Turks’ gods and spirits, and religious ceremonies.
This research is based on archived documents, field documents and published data. The author
dwells on in what ways these beliefs and practices depend on the structures of family and
tribe, semantics and their functions. |
