The Religious Order Of The Yezidiz

By Isya Joseph

Book Overview

The Religious Order Of The Yezidiz, written by Joseph and Isya, is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the Yezidi religion, a monotheistic faith with roots in Mesopotamia. The book delves into the history, beliefs, practices, and traditions of the Yezidi people, who are primarily based in Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. The authors provide a detailed overview of the Yezidi pantheon, which includes a supreme being known as Melek Taus, or the Peacock Angel, and a host of other deities and spirits. They also discuss the role of the Yezidi clergy, who are responsible for maintaining the religion's rituals and customs, as well as the importance of pilgrimage sites and sacred objects in Yezidi worship. The Religious Order Of The Yezidiz also explores the challenges faced by the Yezidi community in recent years, including persecution and displacement in the wake of conflicts in the Middle East. The authors provide insights into the ways in which the Yezidi religion has adapted and evolved in response to these challenges, and how it continues to thrive despite adversity. Overall, The Religious Order Of The Yezidiz is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating and often misunderstood religion.THIS 62 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Devil Worship: The Sacred Books and Traditions of the Yezidiz, by Isya Joseph.
