Talk:Ay Tanrı

Comment
Tanrı is meanimg god, but tanrıça is meaning goddess. do you really know this subject? Today in turkey, we use Ay Dede(moon grand father) for meeting moon to children so we need use he--Ollios (talk) 17:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

This article is false and ,it should be deleted. Actually, Turkic mythology is one of the rare world mythologies that gives Moon a male identity, and Sun a female identity( the other example is Japanese mythology)Ay dede (Grandfather Moon) is still used in modern day Turkish. Art historian Prof. Dr. Yaşar Çoruhlu's books on the subject: Türk Mitolojisinin ABC'si(ABC of Turkic Mythology), Türk Miştolojisinin Ana Hatları ( Main Lines of Turkic Mythology)from Kabalcı Publishing House; and Emel Esin's book Türklerin Eski Dini(Old Relşigion of Turks) suggest that lunar deity in Turkic mythology is male.

Even though what is written in this article was correct, female lunar deity's name would not be simply Ay Tanrı (Moon God) in modern Turkish. Word Tanrı is a vert modern Turkish pronounciation of the original Turkic word Tengri or Tengere. Even this shows that this article is fully made-up by some Turkish neo-pagan wannabe. It should be deleted immediately. Or this article will prove that Wikipedia is not a reliable source and anyone can write articles about any nonexistent subject, and if not noticed for a reason able period of time, it can even pass for truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.97.181.0 (talk) 05:27, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

i am agreeing with above opinions. moon was a male deity in turkic pantheon. he was stood on 6th floor of heaven, and was called ay ata (father moon) husband of sun goddess gun ana (mother sun). there is a turkic myth of moon god, concerning an orphan girl attacked by an violent yersu (eartthly deity) and moon descend to earth in order to fight with him. ancient turks believed eclipses occured when moon was fighting with this evil spirit. and people make noises in order to scare this spirit and free the moon. this tradition (not the belief itself) still exist in turkey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.180.87.241 (talk) 17:10, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

God and Goddess
Ay Dede (Ay Ata) is male. Ay Ana is female. This article is right... There different deities.
