HİTİT BÜYÜ RİTÜELLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

Anadolu topraklarında din ile iç içe bir yaşam sürdüren Hitit insanı için ritüel, yeryüzünde ve yeraltında yaşayan tanrılarla iletişime geçmede başvurulan dini uygulamalardandır. Günümüze kadar çeşitli kazılarda ele geçirilen çok sayıda tablet parçasının büyük kısmını Hitit dini metinlerinin oluşturduğu görülür. Bu metinlerde, bayramlardan sonra en fazla bahsedilen konular ise ritüel uygulamalarıdır. Hitit insanı dünyevi yaşamda karşılaştığı hastalık, felaket, kara büyü, ölüm, salgın ve verimsizlik gibi olumsuz durumların üstesinden gelmenin ritüelle mümkün olduğuna inanıyordu. Büyü uygulamalarıyla harmanlanan ve kutsalla ilişki kurmanın yolunu açan ritüeller, Hitit toplumunun yaşadığı dünyayı algılama biçimi hakkında bilgi sağlarlar. Bu makale, arşivlerden ele geçirilen ritüel tabletlerinden yola çıkarak Hitit büyü ritüellerinin genel özelliklerine odaklanmakta ve böylece Hitit toplumunda, ritüellerin yaşamla ne kadar iç içe olduğunu ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır

For Hittites, one could deal with the problems such as illness, black magic, death, plague and infertility etc. by means of rituals. As blended with magical practices and give the chance of getting into cantact with their deities, ritual practices of Hittites inform us about how they tried to explain the mortal world they live in. This article mainly focuses on the general features of the magical rituals of Hittites by taking the cuneiform texts into consideration and aims at indicating to what extent these religious practices affected the daily life of Hittites
