The Evolution of the Yezidi Religion. From Spoken Word to Written Scripture

Allison, C. (1998)

Article / Letter to editor

The Yezidis of Kurdistan have been called many things, most notoriously 'devil-worshippers,' a term used both by unsympathetic neighbours and fascinated Westerners. This sensational epithet is not only deeply offensive to the Yezidis themselves, but quite simply wrong. Yezidism is not devil-worship, but something far more elusive, and interesting.
