İye

religious deity

İye (sometimes İne or Eğe; , İyĕ; , İyä; , İççi; , Эе; , Ee; , Эга; or ; , Ije) is a spirit in Turkic mythology who is a tutelary deity of a place, person, lineage, nation, natural assets or an animal. Although such spirits are called "masters" or "possessors", they are not necessarily subject to worship. They may be revered as sacred essence of things without being deified or even personified.
