The Black Book of the Yezidis was first published in English over 120 years ago. Since then it has garnered much critical attention by ethnologists and theologians, receiving condemnation in some quarters as a fake, and in others a nod of approval as being possibly the only legitimate text (along with the Book of the Revelation) that gives some insight into these remarkable people and their beliefs. The editor has done an outstanding job in compiling six different translations and providing exhaustive notes. His introduction explains how this short text has been perceived by the outside world and believes it should be taken more seriously as it in essence contains a grain of truth. An extensive bibliography is also provided for those who may wish to do some further research into the Yezidis who are now being forced to scatter abroad, far from their homeland of Iraq, thanks to the ongoing political turmoil in their country. Hopefully this book will compensate for any injustices they have already suffered, and will enable others to view them with a deeper appreciation.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I have written many books over the years, most of them were privately published as I was never able to find a publisher who met my expectations. Now that I have found an outlet through Amazon's CreateSpace, I intend to republish most of them here. So, as they say, keeping watching this space.

My background is varied. I am interested in many things and I have done many things in my time. This has helped to generate ideas, whether they be for a new book, some poetry, or a painting. I like to think that I am a very creative person, with many projects to my name. My main interest is the esoteric sciences, which I have been studying for over 30 years, mainly Aleister Crowley's system of Thelema. In the early 90s I developed my own system incorporating Thelema and another current which I found to be a very powerful tool for transforming consciousness and promoted it to many, with positive feedback from a wide range of people. Through CreateSpace I will be re-promoting it and taking it further so that it can be more properly understood and integrated into the general consensus. I will also be promoting some work I did with other like-minded people back in the 80s. That will be published here as well.

I should point out, I do not write for the masses. Nor do I expect my work to be understood by everyone. I certainly don't write for money; I write for myself. But it's great if other people tune-in to what you are doing and are prepared to pay for your books.

In case anybody is wondering why they haven't heard of me before, it's probably because a lot of my work was published under pseudonyms, for obvious reasons (my work has been described as 'controversial' and 'unsafe' so it made sense to do so). Needless to say, there are some books I have written which I just cannot republish under my own name. Also, I have spent the last dozen years or so promoting the work of another misunderstood writer, Gerald Massey. Many of his books have now been republished (available at Amazon). However, I have taken them further by providing full references and quotations, and a bibliography that was absent in the original editions. (Check out my site www.masseiana.org.)

For those interested, most of my thinking is based on Massey's work.

Adramelech/Samael The Demiurge
1 Star
Adramelech/Samael The Demiurge
Contrary to what the Yazidi people would have you believe they do in fact worship the devil. Melek Taus is more accurately known as Samael/Adramelech. They have no been redeemed, but rather as true Abrahamic religions teach they have been allowed to function as the Rex Mundi(another title meaning the same as Demiurge) until the day of Judgement. They and their legion work to spread nothing but adversity, suffering, and deception and the Yazidi faith is one tool they use to do so. "Melek Taus", despite how their appearance is illustrated by the Yazidi faith, is nothing but pure evil. They are the father of sin. They are the father of damnation. They want nothing but the absolute worst for EVERYBODY alive including those that work with and worship them. The magicians they envenom are no longer themselves. Even if most wanted to warn people after learning the hellish truth they either can't or simply don't remember almost anything from the initiations. Please do not fall victim to the en envenomed deception that is Melek Taus, or rather Samael/Adramelech, and the Yazidi faith.

This is the work discussed by Kenneth Grant in his Typhonian Trilogies. It informs one of the basis for Mr. Grant's opinions on the subject, but it may not be the best book to learn about the Yezidis or Melek Tawus, the Peacock Angel.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent and somewhat researched book but still has its flaws.
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2017

There are very little resource devoted to the Kurdish Yezidi peoples much less their sacred scriptures so this book is a must read for those interested. This specific work covers the Black Book of the Yezidis (Meshaf Resh). The book has a informative introduction detailing the history and of the Meshaf Resh and some background on the Yezidis. The book also has many notes, a extensive bibliography for further study, and a reproduction of the original Arabic manuscript witten in the 1800's. However, this book has a few problems. The author is not a scholar, philologist, historian, nor a ethnologist so his expertise is not top grade. The book deploys other self-styled 'experts' but all are New Age personalities. In the book itself, the author and his team admit that they can't and haven't read all the works cited in the bibliography. Throughout the book, the author constantly quotes or mentions New Age figures of the past to present (Which has nothing to do with Yezidism). As someone interested in obscure esoteric religions and peoples, I found this book to be more useful as a guide to other works on the Yezidis actually written by scholars. Overall, a nice addition for a general reader but better as a rough guide to better works for those more interested in the topic.

Great book, easy to read and gives you a really insightful understanding of the Yezidi beliefs - very similar to the ancient Sumerian and Mesopotamia religions of old.... brilliant start to the basics of an alternative religion. ⭐️⭐️
