FIRE Rituals in BAKU, Azerbaijan | Nowruz 🇦🇿
🇦🇿 I travel to central Asia to clear myself of all bad things from the past year as I celebrate fire Tuesday in Baku, Azerbaijan. Known as Od Chershenbesi, this ancient pagan practice performed in Spring pre-dates all monotheistic religions and is one of the many customs of Nowruz. During Soviet control of Azerbaijan here in Central Asia it was outlawed, but has since made a strong recovery in the region, and is now the largest pagan custom in Azerbaijan.
