description | Turks have been influenced by the religions and cultures they have encountered in
the geographies they have lived in throughout history. In this way, some effects and
traces of traditional Turkish beliefs have continued to live in the culture of some
Turkish groups. In the field research we conducted in the Khorasan regions, we
came to this understanding that the beliefs and practices of the people of this region
are not different from those in other Turkish geographies.
In this study, the continuing effects and traces of traditional Turkish beliefs on
Iranian Turks in Khorasan who have adopted the understanding of Islamic religion
are emphasized. Furthermore, besides books and articles on the subject, the
Turkish beliefs and rituals in the province of Bojnourd, a city in Northern Province
of Khorasan in İran, have been examined. In this context, beliefs and rituals from
birth to death are discussed, along with the beliefs and practices of the Turks living
in Khorasan in general, during and after birth, marriage and death. Also, the beliefs
and practices related to nature are explained: for example, the earth-water cult, the
cult of mountain, water, tree, fire and hearth. At the end, the New Year (Nowruz)
and some religious celebrations are pointed out. |
