Devil Worship: The Sacred Books and Traditions of the Yezidiz (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781564596956)

Devil Worship: The Sacred Books and Traditions of the Yezidiz is a book written by Isya Joseph that explores the religious beliefs and practices of the Yezidi people, who are often misunderstood and demonized due to their association with Satan worship. The book delves into the history and mythology of the Yezidi religion, including their creation story, their beliefs about the nature of God and the devil, and their rituals and ceremonies. It also examines the Yezidi holy texts, including the Black Book and the Book of Revelation, and their significance to the Yezidi faith. Additionally, the book explores the persecution and marginalization of the Yezidi people throughout history, including the recent genocide perpetrated by ISIS in Iraq. Overall, Devil Worship provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the Yezidi religion and its place in the world today.1919.
