Cult of Angels




If it is possible to date precisely the births of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and even Judaism, the origins of the Cult of Angels are shrouded in mystery.

The Cult was likely brought from western Siberia by the Indo-Europeans’ ancestors, when they migrated toward Europe, the North of India and the Middle East, at the end of Neolithic Age (Third, Second Millennium B.C.).

This religion, perhaps the first monotheistic one, had definitely an influence on other great religions.Paradoxically, these later religions modified the Cult of Angels which, as a universal religion, was an open one. Every believer, whatever the object of his Faith, was to be respected because he is a Believer. And his religion is worthy of respect and may eventually Be incorporated into the original Cult, partly or entirely.

Adepts of the Cult believe in a Universal Spirit who created the material universe, after He created himself. Then He gave birth to seven angelic creatures, Beings of Light in charge of protecting the Universe from the Seven Forces of Darkness. The Adepts believe in the transmigration of souls and numerous reincarnations.

This transmigration is true for the Essence too, under the form of seven Avatars, which can include minor avatars.

In the Twentieth Century, three minor Avatars are known: Shaykh Ahmad Barzani, Suleyman Murslid, and Nurali Ilâhi.

Three variations of the Cult of Angels still exist today: Yezidism, Alevism, Yarsanism.

Long kept secret for reasons of safety and survival, these religions today are more open. They are studied and replaced in the context of great Religions.

The Cult of Angels is a Kurdish religion par excellence. And it is in Kurdish territories that the most important communities of the Cult’s Adepts can be found: East of Turkey, Iran (around Kermanshah), North of Iraq, the regions of Mosul,  Jebel Sinjar, North of Syria around Aleppo and Qameshli.

Large exile communities exist in Germany, the United States, and as far away as Australia.
