Uralic mythologies is a cover term for the mythologies and indigenous religions of the Finnic, Ugric, and Samoyedic peoples, who speak related Uralic languages. The mythologies retain traces of archaic Uralic religious systems merged with foreign influences, both ancient and modern, and are similar to the beliefs of neighboring non-Uralic peoples of north-central Eurasia.〔 Of ancient Hungarian mythology (Ugric), not much is known other than it was based on shamanism, there was a belief in the afterlife and a high god, and a tradition of being descended from a female deer. There was also belief in a world/life tree ''(Világfa/Életfa)'' which has three levels, each a different world. A shaman was believed to be able to climb through each of these levels freely by a ladder. Ancient Finnic mythologies had an emphasis on astronomy, with asterisms seen as animal spirits. Creation myths involved a world egg and a world pillar.〔 The traditional Samoyed religion was based on shamanism and totemism. Tales were sung ''(syodobobs)'' or spoken ''(uahanoku)''. ==See also== *Finnic mythologies *Finnish mythology *Estonian mythology *Komi mythology *Sami shamanism *Turkic mythology *Hungarian mythology *Shamanistic remnants in Hungarian folklore *Shamanism in Siberia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uralic mythologies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
