Tengriism

Tengriism is an ancient spiritual tradition originating among Turkic and Mongolic peoples, centered on the worship of Tengri, the sky god. It recognizes a supreme, divine force present in nature, such as the sky and celestial phenomena, emphasizing harmony with the natural world. The religion incorporates ancestor reverence, shamanic practices, and rituals that honor the environment and spirits. Tengriism influenced early nomadic cultures across Central Asia, emphasizing balance, respect for nature, and spiritual connection to the cosmos. It is not a structured religion like many others but a set of spiritual beliefs deeply rooted in reverence for natural forces.
