Water Well
When we look at the old Turkish beliefs, it is seen that the water is as sacred as the ground. There is the concept of the water which is sacred as a protector. The concept of water is quite broad for ancient Turks. It has a meaning that includes not only the seas but also all rivers, lakes, all rushing waters, and springs. Turks regard water as the place where power and abundance come from. At the same time, these waters take on the role of a protective and punitive God. Those who do not do their duty well are punished by the waters. He sends rain to the people who do good as a reward. For Turks, it means rain and abundance.
According to belief, the water is good
According to the belief, every water has a good that it has and continues its life within itself. Sea monsters rumored to be found in the west are generally harmful beings.

However, water bodies protect the water body in which they continue to live from all damages. The images are quite beautiful. They shine light in their surroundings by wearing white-colored clothes. They continue their lives in their palaces in the body of water they are in. There are large rocks on these palaces. Every water owner has a special palace.
