Yazdanic religions - Everything Shii Knows

A Yazdanic religion originates in a Kurdish cult known as Yazdâni, the "cult of the angels".

All denominations of the Cult, past and present, hold a fundamental belief in luminous, angelic beings of ether, numbering seven, that protect the universe from an equal number of balancing dark forces of matter. Another shared belief, and a cornerstone of the Cult, is the belief in the transmigration of souls through numerous reincarnations, with reincarnations of the deity constituting major and minor avatars.
