Babürnâme’deki Örneklerden Hareketle Türk-Moğol Kültüründe Yadacılık Geleneği

Öz

The practice of yadačılıq involves manipulating weather elements such as rain, snow, and storms through specific rituals or stones. Throughout history, those who engaged in these practices have been bestowed titles like yatčı, yadačı, and cayčı, distinguishing them from individuals referred to as qam or shaman. The tradition of yadačılıq persisted among Turks and other Central Asian communities, spanning from ancient times to more recent centuries. Over this period, numerous sources have offered insights into this subject. One such illuminating source on these rituals and beliefs is the Bāburnāma, a memoir and diary-style account authored by Babur Shah, a notable figure from the 16th century. Within this work, Babur Shah documented his experiences, observations, and encounters during his rule. Significantly, the Bāburnāma includes explicit references to the terms yadačı and yadačılıq, underscoring the continuity of these beliefs within the societal fabric of the 16th century. The intent of our article is to emphasize the existence of yadačis and the beliefs encompassing yadačılıq across diverse Turkish and Mongolian communities, both in the past and the present, dispelling the notion that this practice is merely a legend.
