The connection of mythology with literature has made it one of the archetypes in literature, one of these archetypes is the myth of water which is considered to be the essence of existence in sacred texts mythical narrations, and all civilizations. The present article analyzes the positive manifestations of Tarsusi (Abu Moslem Name and Geran e Habashi.) Water myth positively indicates fertility and negatively indicates death and nothingness. Maternal interpretations of water symbols with feminine letters are associated with the influence of water in mythological stories with sacred and godly heroes like Abu Moslem and Geran e Habashi. The legendary power of water purification purifies the hero to reach the symbolic paradise which is the beginning of the seven spells of the Geran e Habashi and with the entry of the Geran into the water and her departure from the Solomon garden which is a symbol of paradise can be expressed. However, Abu Moslem Name has a historical aspect and is based on facts and dominance of magic in it is very low compared to Joneyd Name and Geran e Habash, but the author has incorporated a few parts of the story into with craft and the mention of spells which is manifested af spells which are manifested by blowing in the spells of witches around the spring.
