    Yazidis and the Original Religion of the Near East | Indistinct Union: Chri... http://indistinctunion.wordpress.com/2007/08/17/yazidis-and-the-original... Indistinct Union: Christianity, Integral Philosophy, and Politics Yazidis and the Original Religion of the Near East The horrific bombing in the Kurdish regions around Kirkuk (death toll estimates currently at 400) targeted the Yazidis, a smallish Kurdish (but non-Muslim) sect. The Ys tended to separate themselves from the Peshmerge (the Kurdish military), which likely resulted in their being left vulnerable to this brutal attack. (For interviews with some Yazidis, here via BBC). Who are theologically the Yazidis ? For repeat readers, they will know I support the (somewhat) controversial thesis of Christian scholar Margaret Barker (known as Royal Temple Theology). Barker’s first work is titled The Older Testament. A brilliant way to describe her point of view–namely that the Judaism that comes across in the Hebrew Bible we currently have has been massively (re)edited, more than most scholars will admit, by the Deuteronomic/Rabbinic schools of Judaism. The Older Testament (as opposed to the “Old Testament” of the Deutro. school) included the belief in two g/Gods. The first was the High God (El, Elyon) who had “sons” (angelic beings). Each angel, known as an angel of the nation, was chosen for a specific people. As above so below. i.e. When their was war on earth between two peoples, their angels were fighting in heaven. Hence all the Psalms rousing YHWH (Israel’s Angel/god) to fight. The second G/god then is YHWH for Israel.

The seeds were collected mainly in Tibet, Pamir, Alai, Tien Shan, Yunnan, Kamchatka, Sechuan, Kunlun, Karakoram, Sakhalin, Patagonia, Turkey and others. Selected pictures are in my photogallery http://holubec.wbs.cz/ . There is a lot of items that were regenerated in the garden. They are as valuable as the natural collections and can be collected exactly when become ripe. These species proved to be growable in rock gardens in Central Europe. Those items are clearly marked with ex. Some items come from other collectors: Jiri Papousek (JP), Zdenek Obrdlik (ZO) and Jaro Horacek (JH). The plants were determined according to Floras, in case of the recent collections Fl. China, Fl Tajikistan, Fl Kyrgyzstan, Key to the vascular plants of Kamchatka. Some plants were not seen in flowers and therefore it is not possible to guarantee all determination. From previous expeditions there are still available many good items. All seeds are marked with a collecting year. Older ones were stored in refrigerator and they keep a good germination ability (some of them germinate even better the second year). Several abbreviations were used in descriptions: pl- plant, lv, lvs-leaves, fl, fls-flowers, infl-inflorescence. Please, order by both numbers and names to avoid mistakes. Seeds from another locality will be sent when the ordered item is gone.

  • Armenia Trip Report 2018
    ARMENIA TRIP REPORT 2018 Iris acutiloba subsp. lineolata 1 Day 1 6 May To Istanbul Unfortunately, an annoying thirteen-hour reschedule by Atlas Global meant most of the group spent a night in Istanbul, enjoying a rooftop meal in Sultanahmet rather than joining Penny (who had arrived via Dubai) and I in Yerevan sampling some delicious Armenian cuisine. Day 2 7 May To Gyumri & Ashotsk Penny and I spent the morning looking at beautiful Iris iberica subsp. elegantissima, the Hellenistic temple of Garni and the impressive Geghard Monastery before meeting the rest of the group at the airport. We quickly left the city and stopped by a field of Consolida orientalis for a good picnic lunch. An hour on from here and we found another population of the lovely Iris iberica subsp. elegantissima with a variety of colour forms as well as Scutellaria orientalis, Onosma microcarpa and Arenaria dianthoides. They all grew in an area of old lava fields, but the landscape quickly became greener and softer as we approached Gyumri. To the north the road climbed towards Ashotsk where we found a drift of Muscari neglectum (including two white forms), various colours of Pulsatilla albana subsp. armena from purple to yellow and Ajuga orientalis. Further on, past villages punctuated with huge White Stork nests, the landscape was riven with sinuous streams and marshy flats. The ice-blue of Scilla rosenii peppered one such area, the tepals of the flowers gracefully recurved. Another marsh patch had lots of pink drumsticks of Primula algida and the deep indigo of Bellevalia paradoxa.

  • Transnational Religious Practices on Facebook 61
    yber C yberO rient, Vol. 11, Iss. 2, 2017, pp. 61-91 Transnational Religious Practices on Facebook Seyedehbehnaz Hosseini University of Vienna Abstract: Access to cyberspace by Yezidi populations has given this group a platform for rebuilding their religious identity, which, in turn, has enabled them to challenge existing geographic, political and cultural constraints in Iraq. The Yezidi in Iraq have to live with the threat of discrimination and even violence. On the Internet, self-identification as Yezidi is done much more freely. The rise of the Yezidi in Iraqi media and in foreign media (via the dias- pora) is closely interconnected. Experiences of persecution and of persistent libel and preju- dice by the Muslim majority has forced the Yezidi to adopt distinctive religious practices due to forced migration to foreign countries. This article is an exploration of whether notions of sacred spaces and perceptions and practices of religious rituals are transformed in digital media, i.e. when moving from physical to virtual spaces. I will do this by applying visual- ization through visual imagery and virtual ethnography. This paper represents a theory on the Internet and religion: asking what implications the Internet holds for spiritual identi- ties, worship and sense of ethno-religious community. Keywords: study of religion, ethnography, Iraq, cultural studies, Yezidi, social media Introduction Yezidi are a small ethno-religious group of approximately five hundred thousand persons around the world. They constitute a minority in a dual [email protected] Austria. E-mail: Vienna, A-1090 Vienna, of University Seyedeh Behnaz Hosseini, meaning. First, as Kurds, they represent an often-persecuted ethnic minori- ty within their countries of origin; second, as followers of the Yezidi religion they are a religious minority within the Muslim majority, having often been denounced as ‘devil-worshippers’ (Klaus 1967:329).
