@greeneyedturk: Turkic shamanic symbolism is anchored by the World Tree (Bayterek), which serves as a cosmic axis connecting the celestial Upper World, the human Middle World, and the ancestral Underworld. This vertical hierarchy is navigated by the shaman using a Tüngür (drum), a sacred tool often decorated with celestial maps of the sun and moon that acts as a spiritual vessel for trance journeys. The iconography is further enriched by powerful animal totems—most notably the Bozkurt (Wolf) representing ancestral lineage and the Eagle symbolizing the divine authority of Tengri—all of which emphasize a profound ontological harmony between the nomadic soul and the eternal cycles of nature. #shamanism #tengrism #turkic #siberia #turanbirliği🇹🇷🇦🇿🇺🇿🇰🇿🇰🇬🇹🇲
