Built on the Islamic, primarily Sufi substrate, the religious beliefs of the Yezidis incorporate Gnostic, Christian, local pagan elements, and primitive beliefs. If certain parallels between Yezidism and the heterodox Shiâism are mainly part of common shibboleths typical of Near Eastern non-dogmatic milieu, the existence of key Shiâa figures as objects of veneration and respect in the Yezidi religious lore seems to be a really enigmatic phenomenon. Proper Shiâa elements in Yezidism have never been particularly discussed.
This paper focuses on the analysis of Shiâa characters in the Yezidi religious folklore.
