Tengrism

Tengrism is an ancient spiritual belief system originating among Central Asian nomadic cultures, centered on the worship of Tengri, the sky god. It emphasizes harmony with nature, reverence for ancestors, and the idea of a universal spirit that connects all living things. Tengrism values virtues like respect, balance, and virtue, and it often involves rituals performed in natural settings such as mountains or sacred trees. While it incorporates shamanistic practices and a belief in spirits, it is not a formal religion with a single doctrine but a spiritual worldview that underscores the interconnectedness of humans, nature, and the divine.
