Summary/Abstract: İye (angel in Tengrism) are always a topic in the center of attention of researchers. The mystery is still not fully resolved. Despite hundreds of studies, God, it’s angel and demons still doesn’t attract the attention of researchers. İye was mentioned like as “ak iye (angel)”, “kara iye (demon)” for many times. In my opinion, this kind of bifurcation, can make harder to understand the meaning of iye once again. That’s why it’s important to undestand as a result o what iye(angel) turn into demon completely. When viewed carefully, It seens that, the iyes of Şulum, Çer ve Çor also belongs to such angels. Çer haunted by animals and Çor by plants. Şulum especially haunted by scruffy people. Let’s glance to their good habits. Çor iyesi is famous as an angel of garden and increase the fertility of garden. Çer iyesi ensures healthy and longevity of animals. hayvanların sağlıklı ve uzunömürlü olmasını sağlar. Şulum iyesi ensures the celanless. As we understood, despite all the three iye being wellmannered, remained in people’s memories with more hard than good. The result of this is the pysycological impact of harm of human from the damage and not forgetting the possibility at what level iye can be dangereous.
