- Abstract
The Uyghur Turks, having a rich and deep-rooted culture, has a distinguished place among the Turkish tribes in terms of their socio- cultural life due to their living in a central region and due to their accepting the belief systems such as Shamanism, Totemism and the various religions such as Maniheizm, Buddhism, Nestorianism, Islam, in the historical process. The Uyghur folk medicine and other practices in this context that contain this rich cultural structure in themselves survive until today by being fed by different sources. Among the Uyghur Turks the Shamans have a variety of functions such as treatment, geomancy, and witching. In this paper, the Shamans' peculiarities among the Uyghur Turks in our day and their magical treatments methods will be introduced and evaluated.
