View through CrossRef
The paper is the first to describe and classify fortune telling and predictions in the Bashkir folk art by various methods. This phenomenon has been preserved in the Bashkir culture since mythological times up to the present day, mainly in oral form. The methods are divided by the author into general and personal, into pre-Islamic (related to nature, natural phenomena, objects) and Islamic, appeals to the saints saturated with different symbols. The work mainly is based on the 19982018 years expedition materials of the author. The paper shows the reflection of the methods of fortune-telling and predictions in different genres of Bashkir folklore (in the calendar rite Cuckoo Tea, in medicine, in the game genre, etc.). Islamic methods of fortune-telling and predictions are singled out separately as well as meteorological signs, as a way of predictions, and beliefs related to human anthropology.
