Yes, the Yezidis of Iraq are a very strange group. Have you ever read their account of Lucifer being cast out of heaven?
No I haven't akh, but in 'The Two Babylons' by Hislop, a certain Mr. Layard was present at a Yezidi festival where a lengthy and very peculiar rite is described. That makes me think... I meant to ask you about something! The women cry with a loud 'tahlehl' in this ceremony or whatever it is. What does that mean in Aramaic?!?!? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif" alt="" title="Huh" /><!-- s -->
