Worship Ülgen as our Patron God

Ülgen was the benevolent sky god of the Altai, Khakas and Shor peoples, who protected humankind against Erlik. Known chiefly from ethnography, he was traditionally honoured with animal sacrifice, above all of horses.

Every few years a shaman might offer a white horse and ride its soul up through the layers of heaven to Ülgen's golden house. Some Altai clans, such as the Soyon and the Irkit, did not honour him as the supreme god.
