Abstract
WOMEN AND NATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF CULT AND CULTURE
In response to the teachings of nature, which people want to communicate, dominate, and lead a life in harmony, the relationship between nature and human needs to be revealed in order to define what human beings add to nature as culture. In general, it can be said that the symbolic relationship of woman and nature is at the root of the fact that women are dominated by men in cultures. In the mythological and symbolic context, nature and women were perceived as a whole in the minds. Cults such as trees, caves and soil, which are among the most ancient of nature cults, have gained sanctity by being shaped around feminine imaginations and have taken their place in mythologies as the symbol of coming into the world, fertility, fertility and protectionism. This bond established between the biology and nature elements that women have by nature brought along feelings such as wonder, fear and doubt, as well as respect and cult formation. The natural movement of nature, the cycle in human life and the changes in the human body have formed the direction map of life in the form of a product of a similar perception. The arrangement of daily lives with the cycle of nature has increased the devotion to nature, belief and sanctity.
In this study, the relationship between women and nature from cult to culture will be examined from the mythical period to the present, and the effects of the masculine-female phenomenon on belief and cult formation will be emphasized. It will be tried to analyze the identity of woman and nature in today's society structure by researching the reasons for the change in the perception of nature and the perception of women in the history of culture.
