History & overview · every faith gets one
The Peacock Angel keeps the world.
The religion of the Yazidi Kurds: one God who entrusted the world to seven angels, chief among them Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel — a figure outsiders have slandered for centuries, at catastrophic cost to his people. Baptism in white spring water, reincarnation, and Lalish as the holy valley.
The founding
No single founder — Yazidism accreted rather than began.
What it holds
The divine. One God; seven angels steward creation — Melek Taus at their head.
Death and after. Reincarnation — the soul changes its garment.
