Luwian Religion
Luwian Religion was practiced by the ancient Luwians, a group of people in Anatolia during the second millennium BCE. Their beliefs included a pantheon of gods and goddesses, often associated with natural elements and fertility. Key deities included Tarhun, the storm god, and Hannahanna, a mother goddess. Rituals often involved offerings and sacrifices to ensure agricultural prosperity and community well-being.
The Luwians also shared cultural and religious practices with neighboring civilizations, such as the Hittites. They used hieroglyphic inscriptions to record their religious texts and rituals. Temples and sacred sites were central to their worship, reflecting their connection to the land and its resources.
