Sacred Mountain Beliefs In Abrahamic Religions and Turkish Cultural Life
To connect with the hidden powers they believe in, people absolutely need a sacred being, a protective, sovereign, and encompassing spiritual power. They desire to see and feel this power in places close to them. This spiritual power can be divine or human. It can be real or mythical. Throughout history, many people have believed they derive strength from the presence of spiritual power near them. Mountains are places where people seek, seek refuge, and seek protection, and where they find and are in contact with these spiritual powers.
