Melek Taus is the androgynous and bi-sexual Peacock Angel (Ruling Spirit) of the Moon, the Kabbalistic Sphere of Yesod, and worshipped by the Yazidis (c.f. “Yesod”).

Since s/he rules the lunar sphere, s/he is prince/ss of the lunar and sublunar spheres.

“The Peacock Angel, as world-ruler, causes both good and bad to befall
individuals, and this ambivalent character is reflected in myths of his
own temporary fall from God’s favour, before his remorseful tears
extinguished the fires of his hellish prison and he was reconciled with
God”.

The sphere of Yesod is associated with imagination, dreams, the “unconscious” and the underworld. The Hebrew word סוד (”Yesod”) means “foundation”. One interpretation of this name is that Imagination is the Foundation on which the Kingdom of the Four Elements and Matter (Malkuth) is built.

Commenting circa 1919 on the first chapter of “The Book of the Law” (Liber AL vel Legis), Aleister Crowley wrote “Aiwaz
is not as I had supposed a mere formula, like many angelic names, but
is the true most ancient name of the God of the Yezidis, and thus
returns to the highest Antiquity. Our work is therefore historically
authentic, the rediscovery of the Sumerian Tradition”.

Peacock Door at City Palace Jaipur, Rajasthan India

City Palace, Jaipur, which includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings, is a palace complex in Jaipur city, the capital of the Rajasthan state, India. It was the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur, the head of the Kachwaha Rajput clan.
The inner courtyard, which provides access to the Chandra Mahal. Here, there are four small gates (known as Ridhi Sidhi Pol) that are adorned with themes representing the four seasons. The gates are the Peacock Gate (with motifs of peacocks on the doorway) representing autumn; the Lotus Gate (with continual flower and petal pattern) suggestive of summer season; the Green Gate, also called the Leheriya (meaning: “waves”) gate, in green colour suggestive of spring, and lastly, the Rose Gate with repeated flower pattern representing winter season.

So here we have “The Peacock Angel” named Melek Taus. Some say he’s a Djinn that was born from smoke, others believe that he is the ruler of the Archangles, others say he’s Shatin (Satan). He is revered by the Yazidis who believe that Melek begged God for forgiveness and was redeemed and that humanity is using Shaitan/Melek as a scape goat. You be the judge, do you believe that mankind uses the Devil as an excuse for their wrong doings??? 

(More on Melek)
“The reason for the Yazidis reputation of being devil worshipers is connected to the other name of Melek Taus, Shaytan, the same name the Koran has for Satan. [1]

Furthermore, the Yazidi story regarding Tawûsê Melek’s rise to favor with God is almost identical to the story of the jinn Iblis in Islam, except that Yazidis revere Tawûsê Melek for refusing to submit to Adam, while Muslims believe that Iblis’ refusal to submit caused him to fall out of Grace with God, and to later become Satan himself. [2]

Tawûsê Melek is often identified by Muslims and Christians with Shaitan (Satan). Yazidis, however, believe Tawûsê Melek is not a source of evil or wickedness. They consider him to be the leader of the archangels, not a fallen angel. They are forbidden from speaking the name Shaitan. They also hold that the source of evil is in the heart and spirit of humans themselves, not in Tawûsê Melek. The active forces in their religion are Tawûsê Melek and Sheik Adî.”
