Tengriism is an ancient belief system that originated among the nomadic peoples of Central Asia, particularly the Turkic and Mongolic tribes. It centers around the worship of Tengri, the sky god, who is considered the creator and ruler of the universe. Followers believe in the interconnectedness of nature and the importance of living in harmony with the environment. The religion emphasizes shamanistic practices, where shamans act as intermediaries between the spiritual and physical worlds. Rituals often involve offerings to spirits and ancestors, reflecting a deep respect for nature and the cosmos. Tengriism has influenced various cultures and continues to be practiced by some communities today.
