Özet:

As a cultural balance in this study, the traces in the example of Giresun of the water cult, which is an extension of ancient Turkish nature belief, were addressed. The aim of the study in this context is to reveal what changes the Turks have undergone on the basis of the mythological reflection of the water in the worldview, the living heritage, traces, and beliefs and rituals on the basis of today’s Giresun culture and people’s beliefs. The importance of the work for this purpose is the discovery of the traces of the Turkish water cult in Giresun. As a result of the verbal history study, this study has been attempted to objectively reveal the issue using the method of analytical approach and synthetic perspective. As a result of the study, it has been tried to explain that the people of Giresun have moved the Chepni culture from the past to the future, mixed with the water culture to the present day, but the rituals of the water culture in the last twenty years have been faced to forget with what the age has brought.
