AB  - In our research, traditions such as ceremonial cem, semah, prayer, hymn, folk poetry, folk song, nefes, deyiş, duvazimam, etc., which started orally in the Alevi-Bektaşi belief and turned into a ritual, and the social, educational, cultural, political, social, educational, cultural and political in addition to its dimensions, its internal and religious dimensions constitute the scope and main target of our research. Methodologically, comparative literature review and analysis method were determined in our study. Findings were exemplified and discussed depending on the results of this survey. First of all, it should be noted that the Alevi culture was created, transferred and continued as an oral discourse. Alevi poetry played the biggest role in this process. In this research, which also includes Alevi poetic discourse, cem, poetry, dance, semah, prayer and reading of hymns, which are an Alevi ritual, are also discussed. Within the scope of our research, Alevi poetry, urban Alevi poets using the poetic forms of classical Ottoman literature or palace literature are excluded from my discussion. Among these forms, there are cebel, kaside, kıt'a, terciibend, terkib- i bend, mersiye and so on. Among the forms, it mainly follows the form, style and metric system used by the court poets who were educated in Madrasa. Cem rituals, folk poems and dances vary from one region to another. Despite the differences between them, it is believed that their "essence" is the same. We can say that the deyiş "There is one way, but there are a thousand ways" is the main concept in their cosmology. In our research, the belief structure and form of worship of Alevi culture are discussed on the basis of mania and running. In addition, the syllable structure, and meanings of the words mani, Kosma and Deyis are presented with examples in Turkish and English. Alevi minstrels such as Kaygusuz Abdal, Hatayi and Muhiddin Abdal have transformed their pseudonyms into an individual creation by putting them in that short verse form. Depending on the melody it is associated with in local tradition, social context, geographical region, and other performance components, running can be called with names such as deyiş, deme, duvaz imam, mersiye. These word structures and formulas reveal the Alevi belief structure in the socio-cultural context in religious rituals, music, and art. The brief history of the Alevi-Bektaşi society, which forms the basis of this belief structure, is also evaluated in our study.
