Whirling Dervish

Today I’m sharing with Orange You Glad It’s Friday

Here is a figurine I inherited from my mother – it’s a whirling dervish. Rather than explain why dervishes whirl, http://www.whirlingdervishes.org/ has good information.  And here is a video of The Sufi Whirling Dervishes of Istanbul.

English: Followers of the Sufi Mysticism. Two different groups give concerts at the Sirkeci Railway Station in Istanbul on different days of the week. One hour session starts with a Sufi concert and is followed by the ceremony called Sema. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
