Umay Ana(mother), also known as Umai, May, Hüma(as a bird) is the goddess of fertility in Turkic mythology and Tengriism and as such related to women, mothers and children. Umay not only protects and educates babies, but also may separate the soul from the dead, especially young children. Umay resembles earth-mother goddesses found in various other world religions and the angel of life and death.
