I'm not even sure who "Kuara" is. There's a Mongol god of rain called Qura Khan, maybe they screwed up the spelling.

Erlik looks like Shredder from the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Even some myths, Tengri and Kayra is same person, in some myhts Kayra and Ulgen. People can change the orginal names so you can't decide which one is true.

I don't prefer to give a shape to Tengri as said in wiki,
"[[Tengri]] is one of the names for the primary chief deity in the religion of the early Turkic people. The words [[Tengri]] and [[Sky]] were synonyms. It is unknown how Tengri looks like." 

By contrast, someone can image him a old mucular guy who holds a thunder like Zeus

Erlik and Loki both have horn in some descriptions. It is quite interesting. However there is no horned Loki in modern era. Does Loki really have horn? and why Hollywood chooses current figure instead of Loki in modern era.  

 Lokistone

But in modern are, there is no horn


 


Erlik is close with Buddist-Chinese underworld/death god  Yama and Hinduist god Yama
 
Chinese-Tibetian                                                   Hindu

We have talked about Turkic Santa and now Turkic Christmas

21-24 December are the longest nights so these days are holy in many culture.

As Persian Yalda, Turks have own special festival for it. It is Nardugan. It means "sun is rising" White pine tree is also symbol of this festival. 

Normally, There is no Christmas ceremony in Turkey(without minorities). Turks celebrate new year. Santa and  illuminating tree is part of new year celebrations, but even there is huge resist against it. New year celebrations seems like Christmas for religious Turks. By contrastly they have new enemy now. Big smile Nardugan has started to celebrate in Turkey for a few years. Small local goverment prepared events for it in past years, but it is for common in Central Asia and Russia(Tataristan)

"For the Bulgars of the Volga-Kama region, the victory of light over darkness (typical for the Indo-Iranian worldview) represented probably their most ancient holiday, whose date corresponded to the Indo-Iranian celebration of Mitra. Over countless generations, their nation kept the memory alive of how Alp Nardugan, the natural spirit responsible for providing his people with abundant crops, had confronted the malicious spirits whose aim it was to block out the sun to mankind. Taking the form of a rook, Nardugan victoriously returned the sun’s warm rays to the wintery world below, sending his scorched body plummeting to the earth; where his jet-black feathers were transformed into steppe horses dark as the night. Recognizing his bravery and selflessness, the supreme Tangra granted him a new life, and so the rook appears each year to signal the beginning of Spring, the re-awakening of the living earth.....

...In Tatarstan, for Christian and Muslim Tatars alike, Nardugan Beyrem is again gaining a significant cultural importance. Exclusively rural in previous centuries, in Naberezhnye Chelny, the holiday is today seen as the vivid embodiment of the nation’s glorious past, especially for Kereshen Tatars, who celebrate it at the same time as Orthodox Epiphany. It is worthy to not that the Keresheni are experiencing a revival of culture and a rejuvenation of religious fellowship not unlike their Muslim brethren following the breakup of the Soviet Union. For Muslim Tatars, Nardugan remains a largely secular, cultural holiday. The theater performances are the main event, among which are “Nardugan Kureneshe” and “Shaytan Tue,” and activities including a competition for the most delicious pancake and the burning of small ritual fires. Those in attendance can also witness the talents of Tatarstan’s soloists and folk music ensembles, who make their way from as far as Samara and Bashkortostan."



"Day of a winter solstice, on December, 22 (nardugan) celebrated everywhere because from this day duration days starts to increase. To date of a winter solstice the important place was allocated{removed}, similarly modern New Year's for it is day when the sun finishes the annual cycle and should come back again. Day of a winter solstice named " small New year " (Nardugan).

On holiday Nardugan in all houses of the woman prepared for celebratory dishes. In the morning of the man made a sacrifice to spirits of ancestors and spirits - houses for well-being of family in the expired year and asked about its{her} prosperity in the future. After sacrifices to spirits of ancestors members of family with its full complement were present at a celebratory feast. After a dinner all making related, neighbours left on street and fun, games, dancings began. People, having formed a circle, went around of fur-trees on a course of the sun. Thus, typed{collected} vital energy for overcoming the stayed winter season."

Blackgirls
They destroy shaman's focus, when he prays. They use own sexual charm.

 Just two of them has a name
*Kiştey Ana(she has eight eye but I don't know why) some sources say that she can turn into black fox.
*Erke Hanım(Sultan/Solton) Erk means power


Blackboys
Karaş Han   : God of Darkness, he has black snakes
Matır Han     : Fearless war god. He knows as stone wrist. Wrist is apower symbol, like in arm wrestling. There is also an idiom in Turkish. When you beat someone, you can say "I curled his wrist" but you can't curl stone, can you? 
Şıngay Han : It is like Eris. God of Chaos. In modern Turkish, we use word çıngar instead of chaos/noise. When a Turkish women say I will make çıngar if you don't leave, it means she will yell and call police Big smile
Kömür Han : Kömür means also coal. This guy wears black and important god of Erlik. Kömür han is second ruler of Turkic underground
Badış Han   :  God of disease and diasters, he was one arm which has nine people power
Yabaş Han   : A god who is between black shaman and Erlik han.
Temir Han   :Demir means iron so he is Turkic Hephaistos. He is the one who teachs the smithery to humanity. He has one eye
Uçar Han     :God of bad news and spys
Kerey Han  :He is anothor Eris

I am learning this from you. Erlik and Bear Big smile

Deer = Ak Ana, she has horn like deer
Huma Bird (or somekind of mythological bird) = Umay
Swan = Ayızıt (Goddess of Beauty)

These are first things which I can remember

and yes wolf is animal of goktengri

Originally posted by yomud

*Ancient Turks were buring their horse when horse owner died

*There is a kind of sacrifice which is bloodless. Let an animal go to be free. People when choose one of the animals, they don't use its wool and milk or it doesn't use for carring. In proper time they let it go

*Human sacrifice isseu isn't clear, so source say it is forbiden but some sources says it is tradition

Stories about human sacrifice
:Goktengri and Ak Ana(Sea Goddnes) meet in a cave. Ak ana goes there in a white deer shape but a clan hunt it. After that, when Göktürks need a human for sacrifice, take one person from that clan. This was their punishment.

:A Byzantine delegate has a story about death ceremony of Istami han

:There is a human sacrifice in epic legend of Ural Batyr. Khagan burnt people in ceremony of his birth

I think it is beacuse Central Asians protect the trace of their old religion more then Anatolians like if you go Yakutestan, you can find real shamans. But Turks in Anatolia is for close to Arabs and also we lived close the other Abramic religion which is Christianity so I think that's why people believe much more strong. We are living in religion conflict line, that's why we lost all clear sing of shamanism.  

In Greek mythology you can pray Poseidon for much more hunting fish (good side) or not to create stroms (bad side) but not in Turkic myth 

If you want to protection you should use black shaman and underworld gods so I can't say any thing about like at. I think in east or west people need all gods

It is symbolic picture of Akana. The previous age of Turkic mythology like Gaia in Greeks, she is the main goddess. Seas are in her responsibilty and deer is her symbol. She is also in creation myth.

Gigantic Birds

As Phoenix in West or Simung/Angha in Persian myths, Turks have great birds but there is great Persian effect in this case

Tugrul and Konrul: Both birds can reborn and live near the tree of life. Tugrul is the bird of Mongols, Konrul is the bird of Turks. But in Turkey name Tugrul still live instead of Konrul

Tugrul is also Hungarians national symbol

Huma Bird: Persian originate bird but in Turks. It is with goddess Umay

Oskoko: Double head-bird which brings rain and thunder

Merkut: Another great bird which helps shaman to reach the god
