Özet:

The world special to folk tales reflects a cosmic lifestyle ornamented with symbolic motifs. Typology of the characters as well as the mysterious structure of space and time, which are essential elements of this cos-mic life too, supports this magic world. However, only in the deep structure of the text does it become clear, thatelements of life presented in the text are not at all far from reality. When the issue is viewed from the angle of archaic belief systems, it will not be wrong to suggest, that shamanistic rituals mirror folk tales directly.Examples of these are rites of passage, which entered the literature by means of Arnold van Gennep’s workfrom 1909 titled the same. Therefore, this paper deals with the motif of the trip to Hades from the perspective of rites of passage and their reflection in folk tales. The initiation rituals prepare the child for puberty and the adolescent for grownup life. Likewise, fairy tales prepare the hero as he proceeds from one stage to another. In this transitional phase, the hero is confronted with a lot of problems. At the same time, the hero undergoes alsoa difficult phase. The paper aims to decipher the hidden messages, which lie in the deep structure of the textsand include reflections of religious and cultural elements from archaic societies. Folk tales of Turkish narrativeculture are sanalyzed through the hermeneutic-comparative text analysis method. The texts belong to thfirst edition of the three works –compilations of Turkish folk tales – by Ignácz Kúnos.
