Secret name of Melek Taus

[NeMo]

Does anybody know the secret name of Melek Taus?

[Ahriman]

Melek Taus or Peacock King is public name for Shaitan.They could not use the name Shaitan because of the Islamic persecution so they used Melek Taus.

[NeMo]

Who are they? Yezidi?

[Ahriman]

Yes you can find informations about those in
 LaVey Satanic Rituals

[Atemporis]

Well they had no problem using the name Shaitan in Wine of Aluqah, along with Iblis.
 And besides I didn't get the Islamic persecution part...surely no one will sentence Christofer to death as they did with Salman Rushdie.
 
 I think Shaitan is not the same with Melek Taus. Yes, they are both Lucifer in the Christian tradition, but Melek Taus is more or less the Gnostic Demiurge.

Hi Atemporis,
 
 Ahriman tends to give very short answers which may lead to misunderstandings. (While I tend to ramble, but that

The persecution you talk about is that they are forbidden to pronounce the "sh" sound or the fact of the role/evilness this character represents?  

[Atemporis]

yeah Markus, now it makes sense...

That is wrong Shaitan has nothing to do with demiurge actually jehovah is much more close to such   status even old gnostics considered jehovah to be evil god.

[Atemporis]

Yup, you're right.

[Basileus Taos]

There's this thing about christianity (and many other religions): Once they reach the status that "their" god is the only one, all other local gods are not only degraded (let's say from God Baal Sebub to Archangel or something), but inverted and called demons. If there's only one god then he's called Satan by the christians.

[Ahriman]

Christianity is pack of lies and thievery from Sumerian and Egyptian ancient legends.

[Basileus Taos]

Sorry, forget to mention that part.  
 But it's true that especially old Testament stories can be found earlier in other cultures.

[Ahriman]

Even the story about fall of angels is entirely false because demons are in fact ancient gods and Satan (also known as Sumerian Enki and Egyptian Ptah) is more ancient god than jehovah.So there is no fall of angels nor any such stupidities (read christian doctrine).

I'm agree that the secret name is Sahitan, but I think that they can't use it because is so sacred for them:
 "(...)Neither is it permitted to us to pronounce the name of Shaitan (because it is the name of our God), nor any name resembling this, such as Kitan, Sharr, Shatt(...)"
 From "Meshaf Resh"

[Ahriman]

They could not use it because the muslims would persecute them for devil worshipping.

[Malar]

I'm very sceptic about interpretations of names which too adventurously connections from different cultures and their religions/legends.
 
 And then, I tend to don't believe it.  :nanana:  
 
 As for Melek Taus, afaik, it's the assistant of the God from the Kurds.

The muslims aren't the stupid people that the Americans want to draw us. The turkish knew very well the yezidi cult and they tolerated them. If the kurds are persecutted now, is more for political and ethnical reasons than religious

[Ahriman]

Still they didnt use it because of persecution.
 "DO NOT MENTION MY NAME NOR MY ATTRIBUTES, LEST YE REGRET IT; FOR YE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THOSE WHO ARE WITHOUT MAY DO."-from Al Jilwah.

[The Gnostic]

I've notice a few inaccuracies in regards to Gnosticism.
 The Gnostics did not view the Demiurge as being totally evil, within Valentinian Gnosticism for instance; the Demiurge actualy plays a benificial role.

[Ahriman]

Depends on the type of gnostics involved.Anyway topic is Melek Taus  

[Hol Hola Tausi Melek]

lol, the information is only half correct, the rituals that they say are "authentic" are pure bullshit!

Well, this is because THerion are not Yezidi, and are free to say what ever name they wish. If you notice in the song Melek Taus, no where does they say that Melek Taus is Satan or an adversary to God

Hi Atemporis,
 
 Ahriman tends to give very short answers which may lead to misunderstandings.

Ahriman gives short answers!? Markus do you have any idea how SILLY that sounds?

Memories... this topic brings back to my mind the times when Ahriman didn't hate me so much...

[Franz]

Ahriman gives short answers!? Markus do you have any idea how SILLY that sounds?

Not very. He hasn't made a long post in this thread.

[Lucy]

By the way criticising an almost three years old post, which can't be read fully, sounds strange to me.

[NeMo]

Not very. He hasn't made a long post in this thread.

Not only here... He rarely makes "two lines" posts at all, since I've been reading this forum.
But he makes something else...  silly accusations against me. Can you believe what did he accuse me for in Croatian subforum: That my posts are "too long and with endless quotes and that they are killing the discussion..."! And after that, in the next 60 minutes(!) five other people repeated the same crap: "that my posts are too long with too many quotes, that they skip them, that forum is not intended for skipping posts but for reading(!)..."

If the six of us think that you do what do you,I kind of think that gives weight to our arguments.Or you think that practically entire population of subforum who worked peacefully for three years is wrong and you are right

This is off topic.
