A number of beliefs and practices were formed within Turkish folk culture during the transition periods. The beliefs and practices originating in the mentioned transition periods as did every faith, tradition, and customs surviving among people have been reflected in the folk narratives. In this study, birth-related events in Turkish tales were determined, and their resemblance to the beliefs forming around the case of birth within the societies was studied. Every belief and practice, of course, hasn't survived among the people. Because, the tales which are defined as the flight of imagination take place in the settings peculiar to them qualified as dreamland. Nevertheless, however imaginary they are, these texts which are the oral cultural products are the mirrors of the societies in which they exist. As Ignas Kunos stated, “if we look at this mirror, we can see both the ancient people‟s worship and morality of old times.” Keywords: Culture, Transition Periods, Birth, Tale.
