Abstract

Abstract Popular culture and beliefs are an essential part of the civilization of nations and due to their oral nature, they have continued to live and be dynamic over the centuries, being transferred from one generation to another. Popular culture and beliefs, which have long-standing and ancient roots, are closely related to various cultural manifestations such as Myths, epics, and language. In the present research whose purpose was to identify the roots of oath rituals in the public culture of Kermanshah, the author has investigated and analyzed the relation between the common religious and astronomical beliefs of the tribes of Kermanshah (with a focus on Sanjābī, Kalhor and Gūran clans) and mythology, using analytical and field methods. According to the results, respecting the sky and swearing to it, believing in the judgment of the sun and praying to it, swearing by the times of the sun and the moon and the Haftgām oath are the main astrological beliefs in the tribes studied, and these beliefs are rooted in Iran’s mythological beliefs and also Zarvanism, Mehriism and Zoroastrianism. It should be mentioned that Mesopotamian beliefs also influenced the formation of many of these beliefs, and the influence of Islamic beliefs is also evident in later periods.
