Path Board - Know The Gods / Turkic Pantheon - Gun Ana (sun goddess) *

Gün Ana is the sun goddess.

Gün Ana is one of the most powerful deities, the goddess of life and fertility, warmth and health.

She is patroness of the unfortunate, especially orphans. She lives on the seventh floor of the sky.[1][2] Gök Tanrı created the earth with rays of sun light, thus, Gun Ana took part in the creation of earth.

Solar rays are also considered to be "strings" between the sun and the spirits of plants, animals and humans.

Turks who worship Gun Ana turn towards the sunrise when praying. She is depicted with glowing yellow skin.

If I Would give you my clear skies
If I Would give you all golden fields of grain
Strong legs and tireless hearts
An ocean as still as a lake
Would you still worship and pray
And not forget my name
U…MIIIiii AAAaaa….
Instead I'll give you my storm
I'll give you my hail
I will tear out trees,
sweep up the seas,
destroy all the fields
And you reach for The sky
But in this mud you'll die
And you will pray
And lightning illuminates your faith
When lightning… uh lightning
If you sweet child
Never screamed to get your way
I will forget you… lying there
And sleep for a million days
And I hear your prayers U…Mi A….
Instead I'll give you my storm
I'll give you my hail
I will tear out trees,
sweep up the seas,
destroy all the fields
And you reach for the sky
But in this mud you'll die
And you will pray
When lightning illuminates your faith
You will pray. You will pray. You will pray
U…MIIIiii AAAaaa….

Path Board - Know The Gods / Turkic Pantheon - Kok Tengri (FATHER)

I intend to add many of the more obscure pantheons. Many of them correlate with other pantheons and some of these gods are "aspects" of the other gods...such as with Set/Sitri, for example.

Tengri

Kök Tengri is the first of primordial deities in the religion of the early Turkic people. He was known as yüce or yaratıcı tengri (Creator God) after the Turks started to migrate and leave middle Asia, and see monotheistic religions Tengrism was changed from its pagan/politheistic origins.

The words Tengri and Sky were synonyms. It is unknown how Tengri looks. He rules the fates of entire people and acts freely. But he is fair as he awards and punishes. The well-being of people depends on his will. Tengri worship is first attested in the Old Turkic Orkhon inscriptions of the early 8th century.
