Uçmag (also spelled: Uçmag, Uçmak, Ocmah, Uçmah) (pronounced: Utchmaq) is heaven in Turk- and Altaic mythology. It is the opposite of Tamag. The souls of the righteous people dwell in heaven after death.[1]

Etymology

Since the soul reaches heaven by flying up to it, for example by taking the appearance of a bird or carried by a spirit sent by Ülgen, will be carried to heaven after death.[2] heaven carries a connotation of flying. Since the Turkic word for flight (utch) combined with the verbal suffix maq means take flight, from the eleventh century onwards, this word served to designate this particular region of the afterlife.[3]

Description

In Turkish and Mongolian beliefs, heaven resembles the earth, but as undefiled by humans with an untouched nature. It is much brighter than the earth there and the natives of this world have never deviated from the traditions of their ancestors. Shamans can visit this plays in their rituals.[4]
