Devil Worship - Isya Joseph - Bog

""Devil Worship: The Sacred Books and Traditions of the Yezidiz"" is a comprehensive exploration of the religious practices and beliefs of the Yezidi people, a Kurdish religious minority group with a complex and often misunderstood history. Written by Isya Joseph, a scholar of comparative religion, this book delves into the Yezidi's unique spiritual traditions, including their veneration of the peacock angel Melek Taus and their intricate system of sacred texts, rituals, and ceremonies. Joseph also examines the Yezidi's relationship with the devil and how this has contributed to their persecution throughout history. Through meticulous research and analysis, ""Devil Worship"" provides a nuanced and insightful look into the Yezidi religion and its place in the world today.1919.
