TURK KULTURU VE HACI BEKTAS VELI-ARASTIRMA DERGISI, sa.63, ss.265-296, 2012 (AHCI)
Nowadays, a decline in literary works that are formed in the context of the Alewi-Bektashi beliefs is observed. However, some aspirants and religious leaders (dede) of this belief culture are still singing and writing religious poems (nefes). Zebra Kayacik is a good example for this. Memorate is the narrative of an individual's supernatural experiences. In this study, the extraordinary events experienced by Zebra Kayacik will be considered as memorate. The effects of the wali (saint), association and Khidr-Ilyas cults which are some of the foundations of Alewi-Bektashi belief in the formation of this memorates will be studied to put forward. Many of Zehra Kayacik's poems (nefes) have effects of her own memorates (the memorates formed in the end of her meetings with (saints)Hz. Mohammed, Hz. Ali, Hz. Hussain, Hz. Fatima, Hadji Bektash Veli, Khidr in her dreams and in extra-ordinary states between sleep and awakeness). The issues such as the Twelve Imams love, curse on Karbala and Yazid, satirizing the people who taunts with Alewi belief are also inspiration sources of her poems (nefes). In this study, Zehra Kayacik's dreams, memorates and poems (nefes) which were said in the context of these dreams and memorates will be discussed to be an example to determine the effects of the beliefs on oral culture.
