Abstract
Numerous regional and descriptive studies have been made on beliefs and traditions related to shrines. The present study is a scientific outcome of a visit to the shrine of Hüseyin Gazi with a group of Alawi visitors from Divriği. Although the visitors knew very little about Hüseyin Gazi’s historical personality, they carefully practiced all traditions and customs in the shrine. These beliefs and practices descending from their ancient forms of beliefs will provide direct data on development and the origins of their religion. Hence, in this study, on the beliefs and practices held in the Shrine of Hüseyin Gazi visited by Alawi disciples, we expect to reach certain clues to denote that Alawism is a syncretic belief.
