Small Middle Eastern religion with ancient origins. They worship Lucifer in the form of a peacock. Thus they have often been called 'Satanic' or 'devil-worshippers'. But they do not consider Lucifer to be rebellious or evil, unlike Western practicioners of Satanism; thus the term is inaccurate.

It has been argued that there is a similarity to the Process Church, in that they were often viewed as Satanic on the grounds that they worshipped both Christ and Satan; It is unclear whether they believe as the Process Church does, that Satan had turned from his evil ways and become reconciled to Christ, and that both were coming at the end of the world to judge humanity, Christ to judge and Satan to execute judgment.

The Yezidis have been claimed as an influence on Aleister Crowley's Thelema.
