Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Shwalia Anmar reads the whole Sidra Ed Neshmatha (The Book of Souls) and holds a bunch of myrtle branches. Other Ganzibri (High Priests), Tarmidi (priests) and Shkandi (deacons) observe and support the candidate during his reading, while he sits at the front door of the andirona (a structure of bamboos, built outside the south side of the shkhenta or ritual hut) and other priests sit inside the endirona. Shwalia Anmar enters the endirona when he finishes reading the whole Book of Souls. This event takes place on the Saturday afternoon after the baptism of the priests, shkandi, the candidate and religious utensils. Also on this day, a physical check up of the candidate is done to make sure that he has no physical deformities. Photograph from the initiation of Anmar al-Zuhairi, Baghdad, 2008. This process is long and complex, comprising many rituals, some of which are performed differently from other occasions.
