Kut (mythology)

According to the Turkic belief, kut (also spelled qut, Old Turkic: 𐰴𐰆𐱃, lit. 'blessing' or 'fortune') is a kind of force vitalizing the body. Through kut, humans are connected with the heavens. Further, the sacred ruler is believed to be endowed with much more kut than other people, thus the heaven would have appointed him as the legitimate ruler.
