Abaasy

Abaasy (Abaahy, Abasy; Yakut: Абаасы, Abaası) are beings of the Sakha (Yakut) underworld, depicted in sources as destructive underworld spirits or demons associated with the long deceased. They inhabit the lower cosmic layer, serve an underworld ruler, are blamed for disease and madness, and may be appeased by blood sacrifice.

A Turkic iyesi (possessive/guardian spirit) of the courtyard, outbuildings, and farmstead grounds; ambivalent in nature, it protects its domain but may harm livestock and cause mischief, often appearing in animal forms.

Aiy (Aiy-auk)

Aiy (also rendered Aiy-auk) is a name mentioned in relation to Siberian contexts in the queryer's sources, but the provided documents do not contain usable folkloric descriptions or ethnographic data about the entity. This entry records what the supplied materials do and do not establish and points to the research gap.

Ak Ana

Ak Ana (also Ağ Ana, Ak Ene) is the primordial water-mother of Turkic and some Siberian (Khanty, Mansi) traditions: a holy maternal creator principle associated with the pre-earth expanse of water, fertility of the land, and the threshold to the spirit world.

Ama (Mother of Waters)

Amazons

A society of women-warriors in ancient Greek myth and legend, depicted as skilled horsemen and archers who inhabit the periphery of the Greek world and act as recurring opponents and counterparts to Greek heroes. Treated by ancient authors as a past people and by modern scholars as a mythic construct possibly inspired by Eurasian female warrior burials.

Antimachus

Antimachus is attested in the provided sources primarily as a classical Greek personal name borne by historical figures (notably Antimachus of Colophon, a poet and grammarian ca. 400 BC, and Antimachus I Theos, a Greco-Bactrian king). The name is also reused in modern contexts (a Wikidata taxon entry and small-press fictional/divinatory pages). The sources do not present Antimachus as a supernatural or folkloric entity.

Asena

Asena is a mythic she-wolf who functions as the ancestress in the Göktürk foundation myth; she rescues an injured child after a battle, becomes pregnant by him according to the legend, flees across the Western Sea to a cave near the Qocho mountains, and gives birth to progenitors of the Ashina clan. The figure legitimizes the ruling lineage of early Turkic polities and has been revalorized in modern Turkish nationalist symbolism under the related label Bozkurt ('gray wolf').

Ashina Buzhen

Ashina Buzhen (Chinese: 阿史那步真) was a 7th-century member of the Ashina ruling house of the Western Turks who acted as a military and political claimant to khaganate authority on the Tang frontier. Recorded in Tang-era sources and modern summaries, he engaged in inter-elite rivalry, participated in Tang military campaigns, received an imperial-bestowed khagan title from Emperor Gaozong, and died in 667.

Ashina Shibobi

Ashina Shibobi (c. 603–631), regnal name Tolis (Töles) Khagan, was a member of the Ashina clan who served as a lesser khagan and military leader of the eastern wing of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate in the early 7th century CE. He held offices such as Nipu shad and Tolis khagan, participated in raids against Tang China, suffered internal punishment after military setbacks, and ultimately submitted to Emperor Taizong of Tang in 629.

Ay Ata

Ay Ata (Ay Dede) is the personified Moon in Turkic myth and traditional Tengrism, commonly glossed as 'Moon Father.' He is paired with the sun-being (Gun Ana / Kün Ana) in a layered sky cosmology and figures in folk tales, epic traditions, and shamanic prayer contexts.

Ayaz Ata

Ayaz Ata is identified in the provided source as a winter-associated figure originating from Tengrism and also as a fictional tale character who serves as the Turkic counterpart to Santa Claus and Ded Moroz. The single source presents both a religious origin (Tengrist) and a later folkloric/seasonal role without further detail.
