Religion

The Heft Sirr (Kurdish: Heft Sirr) denotes the seven primordial mysteries that structure Yazidi cosmology. They are transmitted through sacred oral poetry, ritual practice, and the Yazidis.info digital archive, which collates scholarly and community sources.

Yazidi purity rules and religious prohibitions govern daily conduct, diet, sexual relations, and ritual cleanliness among Yazidis. They are rooted in oral tradition, codified in sacred texts, and enforced by community elders to preserve theological purity.
