The Yezidee Devil Worshipers

The Yezidees, often referred to as Yazidis, are a minority religious group predominantly living in Northern Iraq.

Central to the Yezidee faith is the veneration of a figure known as Melek Taus, also referred to as the Peacock Angel. This deity showcases the unique syncretism of Yezidee beliefs, as Melek Taus is considered both a fallen angel and a benevolent creator figure.

However, due to misconceptions and biased accounts, Yezidees have often been painted as devil worshippers, leading to persecution and marginalization throughout history. Their secretive practices and devotion to Melek Taus have fueled countless speculations and controversies.

George Harper’s Encounter with the Yezidee Cult

George Harper, an English explorer with an insatiable curiosity for the occult, stumbled upon the Yezidee community during his travels through the Middle East in the late 19th century. Harper was drawn to the mysterious aura surrounding the Yezidees and dedicated his life to understanding their customs and beliefs.

Harper's vivid descriptions of his encounters with the Yezidee Devil Worshipers fascinated the Western world. He chronicled their rituals, from elaborate ceremonies performed in sacred temples to the intricate symbolism behind their colorful attire. His writings became invaluable resources for future research, shedding light on the secretive practices of the Yezidees.

The Controversial Figure of George Harper

While many saw George Harper as a respected scholar, others viewed him as an enigma, shrouded in secrecy and controversy. Some accused him of exploiting the Yezidee community for personal gain, while others claimed he became a true believer in their faith and was even initiated into their secret rituals.

Harper's long stays among the Yezidee Devil Worshipers and his close relationships with influential members of their community made him a polarizing figure. His motives and allegiance still provoke heated debates in academic circles, adding an extra layer of fascination to his story.

Thinly spread out among the mountain regions of Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, this dwindling faith has managed to survive 2,000 years of repeated massacres. Frequently confused with the Dacoits and Thugees of India they seem to have every mans hand raised against them.
In the 1930's Hollywood developed horror movies featuring assorted monsters such as Frankenstein, the Wolfman, Dracula, and the Mummy.
Among these was a sinister cult of foreign devil worshippers with a penchant for sacrificing luscious beauties, kidnapped for their wiles. These women were invariably laid out atop an altar where devotees of the devil chanted litanies to Satan while the evil priest waved a menacing knife vaguely pointing at a half exposed breast. At this point the hero bursts in to defeat the villain and rescue the maiden.
Thinly disguised allusions to the Yezidees hinted at the actual existence of a dread cult of devil worshipers on Earth.
Naturally, they got it all wrong! Hollywood has seldom been accused of not warping reality to make their case. Garbled accounts of the Yezidees are their only contact with reality and the outcome was a forgone . All sorts of fundamentalist preachers picked up on the theme in their sermons. Using the Yezidee as a prime example of the wickedness which stalks the earth. In every telling the distortions grew until the Yezidee were virtually lost within the cloud of myth.
So who are the Yezidee? What is their faith? Why are they dismissed as "Devil Worshipers"? Do they actually worship the Devil, (or Shaitan, or Eblis as the various religious sects name the Evil One)?
Little is know about the rituals of these people, and most of what is known has been corrupted and mangled. This is largely because they are intensely secretive about the details of their religion. Commendable work has been done to record their music and their dances which may have foreshadowed the "Whirling Dervishes" of the Sufi Moslem sect. Their medicine and general healing practices have been recorded but their theology is hardly known by anyone not of their faith.
Here we address these problems through a careful examination of the scanty available data, and attempt to reconstruct a general picture of the sect. Starting at it's inception and into present day to projecting a probable future. Since it is primarily a sociological problem, no absolute answers can be promised. Still this is apt to be the most accurate analysis ever attempted. Al the least it provides a worthwhile starting point for future understanding of the sect.
