RAIN RITES FROM EASTERN TURKESTAN TO ANATOLIA
Abstract
Water and rain, which are the source&symbol of plentifulness, abundance and life in
Turkish belief system, became the subject of some rituals-ceremonies as a belief element in
this context. Humanbeing, therefore, resorted to various prayers and magical transactions in
order to be protected from drought and to gain the rain to which he needs. Humanbeing
considering the drought as God's penalty wants to convey his wishes to the God through
symbolic means such as ''yada tashy” (originator or rain stone)'', ''wearing inside-out'', ''çömçe
gelin” (bride with ladle)'', ''mimic'' and ''sacrifice'' etc. to evade from this punishment and to
redeem himself. Known since time immemorial among Turkic tribes, these symbolic thoughts
and beliefs have continued their existances, by gaining a religious identify with the acceptance
of Islam.
In the study entitled ''Rain Rites from Eastern Turkestan to Anatolia'', we at first
mentioned briefly nature of the water from socio-economic aspects and its place in lifes of
societies, and later informed about making-it-rain rites which are seen among Uighur and
Anatolian Turks.
