Understanding of kut in Turkish culture and beliefs/practices related to kut

It is accepted that the Turkish belief system is built on three foundations, such as the Sky God, the earth-water spirits and the ancestor cult. The Turks have taken the path of defining a qualification and level based on the magic power (sacred/magical power/mana) in them, especially in relation to spiritual beings, especially the Sky God, from the top down. According to the belief system of the Turks, it was of great importance to get along well with these powers loaded with kut (mana), perform some rituals to please them, offer sacrifices and return these beings to their favor. The Turks believed that the kut (mana) in these beings was also given to some people, and that this power could be transferred from people to other people. According to the Turkish belief system, in order to transfer this power, people had to be chosen by these sacred beings, to please these beings, to get their consent, to stay away from jobs and transactions that would anger them. Among the people with these qualities, there were people, especially prophets, such as kings, deceptors, clergy, epic heroes, married couples, professional couples, lovers/epic bards and folk healers. Just as these people could receive kut directly from God, they could also have this kut indirectly (receiving kut from GOD).
