Transmigração das almas
A tradição admite transmigração ou retorno da alma em novo ciclo de existência.
O que é: O yazidismo inclui crença em transmigração das almas, também descrita como metempsicose ou renascimento da alma.
Como a tradição entende: A ideia está ligada a purificação progressiva, continuidade moral e releituras sagradas de certas figuras em diferentes manifestações.
Base e contexto: Essa crença aparece em descrições clássicas e acadêmicas da religião e ajuda a explicar sua compreensão de responsabilidade espiritual.
Debates e variações: O modo exato de explicar a transmigração varia entre formulações acadêmicas e comunitárias, e não coincide automaticamente com modelos indianos de reencarnação.
