Öregisten
Sky-father, lord of cosmic law and the highest heaven.

Crown of the Tree
Felső Világ
The Upper World
Realm of sky-fathers, ancestors and divine order.
The Felső Világ is the luminous height reached through the crown of the Világfa — the seven (sometimes nine) heavens of the steppe imagination. It is the dwelling of Öregisten, of Napisten and Hold Anya, of the wind that carries prayer, and of the bright ancestors who have been gathered home. To climb to it is to climb the tree itself: branch by branch, sky by sky, the Táltos rising on the back of the drum.
“The branches are roads, and every road is a heaven; the falcon knows them all by name.”

The Táltos beats a galloping rhythm and climbs the inner tree, leaving the body to council with sky-spirits.
Hilltop fires lifted at Nyári Napforduló return the sun's gift and mark the year's high turning.
Newborns are shown to the night sky so that an ancestor among the stars may recognise them.
