Can't stop thinking how magnificent Umay Ana is.
To understand this, you need to know one thing about Tengrism: that is Tengrism differs from region to region and there is no universal one. Which means, every practitioner will have something to them unique.
I have been gaining information on Umay Ana from different areas and worship Her as all what I have found.
Firstly, Her name. In Turkic, root "umāy" meant "placenta", "afterbirth". So here comes Her one of many roles, She is the Mother Goddess, Goddess of pregnancy, motherhood, birth, children, as well as protector of children and pregnant people. It was said, that when a baby laughs, it is Umay Ana with them.
As well, as being the Goddess of children, She is the Goddess and protector of women as well. With that, comes Her role as Goddess of fertility and virginity.
Beside that, She is The Earth, The Nature. She is a Creator Goddess, wife of supreme God Kök Tengri, it was to Her hunters prayed, so that they would have a good game.
Some equate Her with other Goddess, Od Ana, which I do, which gives Her domain of marriage and fire, especially the fire that burns in the human soul.
The last I have, is Her role as carrier of the souls, psychopomp, if you will. On Her hands soul enters the world, and on Her hands it leaves. That's why, it was said, there was blue stain on newborn baby's backs, it is Her mark, that soon fades.
She is the first cry of just born child as well as first whine of a baby animal. She is the last breath of an old man, as well as last rale of and old animal.
She is the first menstruation, She is the little girl, She is the maiden, She is the mother and her children, she is the grandmother and her grandchildren.
She is the laugh of baby boy, She is the hunter, that returned from hunt with his new food.
She is the harvest we eat, She is the fields, She is the steppes.
She is your cat at your side, as well as She is a mighty bear, that could kill.
She is the mountains, She is the caves, She is the forests, She is the planes.
She is the first flowers waking up after the snow, She is the naked trees in the winter. She is the seed, that was planted in the soil, She is the most mighty trees, that hold the earth.
She is the old bones, covered in moss, She is the flowers on fruit trees, She is the new beginning in spring, She is the abundance of life in summer, She is the going to rest world in autumn, She is the calmness in winter.
She is there, when trans women realise themselves and seek their new place, She is there, when trans men realise themselves and seek new place. She is there, when two people want to spend their life together.
She is the fire, that beats inside your heart, that keeps you warm.
She is soft and full of love, She is the Mother, the creator of this world, and She wants us to love it. She can be both accepting, as well as destructive, as nature can feed you or kell you, as fire can warm you, as burn you.
She protects with bow and arrows, Her hair is long and golden, She wears three-pronged crown.
She is so many. She is everything and everywhere and everyone.
I can't stop thinking how magnificent Umay Ana is. And I am excited to learn about Her more.

Hello Zarya. Seeing do you know if there are any parallels between Slavic Gods and the various Tengri? I stumbled upon that Chinngis Khan had invaded into Kievan Rus, so I wondered if they brought any of their gods along too. If not you do you know other bloggers or people who might know? Thank you so much.
Ooof, sorry, I don’t have any knowledge on this particular subject although it sounds really interesting 👀
Dear followers would any of you be able to help?

If you could make people consume and critically engage with any piece of media, what is it and why?
TURKIC MYTHOLOGY (Also known as Tengrism) l get why it's not so popular since not many texts survived or even were written but it's very fun in my opinion, since Erlik exists (go look up who he is). Turkic mythology/Tengrism needs more love

Tengri, the great Deity, born before the existence of the world, is older than time itself, and what this very world created, is the Cosmos and the Sky itself, with their endless expanses: (Is simply exists).
Me (little human with some kind of neurodivergency, who tries to do what they can without going crazy): Hello, Dad! Walking home, I noticed a few bright yellow dandelions. They reminded me of you and your Sun, so I leave them to you as an offering. I hope you will enjoy!
Tengri (despite all His greatness and strength, being one of the most kind, gentle and loving the world and people Deities): Oh, thank you, my dear, this is wonderful. I'm glad you liked it. :)
Тенгри, великое Божество, рождённый до существования мира, старше самого времени и что этот самый мир создал, является самим Космосом и Небом, с их бескрайними просторами: (Просто существует).
Я (маленький человек с какой-то нейроотличностью, что пытается делать что может, при этом не сойти с ума): Привет, Пап! Идя домой я заметила несколько ярких жёлтых одуванчиков. Они мне напомнили о Вас и Вашем солнце, поэтому я оставляю их Вам как подношение. Надеюсь, Вам понравится!
Тенгри (не смотря на всё Своё величие и силу, являющийся одним из самых добрых, нежных и любящих мир и людей Божеств): Ах, спасибо, моя дорогая, это прекрасно. Я рад, что тебе понравилось. :)
