Fertile Crescent in Yiddish and German
Here, you can see another example of the similarity between modern German and Yiddish in “Fertile Crescent.” In many cases, Yiddish borrows from other Indo-European languages or from Hebrew. Neither is true in this case:
Yiddish, פְֿרוּכְטְבאַרעְר האַלְבְמאָן, P̄ərūḵəṭəbʾạrʿər Hʾạləbəmʾon
German, Fruchtbarer Halbmond

the Traditionalist School of esotericism on the ecumenical concerns of the mystical experience debate (Charles Minaar) ✝️️ ⇔️ ☦️ 🕊️ ⛪ 💒 🏫 🤝 🌬️ 🎑 🧞 🐟 📖

Pure Disgust
It was only a matter of time, I suppose, before I would discover this one. The late Frithjof Schuon was an evil man. And some people actually look up to that monster? I started crying. 🤧 💢
Regrettably, I found the entire book.
All I can do is to humbly suggest that people remain as far away from this movement as possible.
the Traditionalist School of esotericism on white supremacy (the despicable internalized racist Frithjof Schuon) 😠⚠️🤬☠️👿

More Intellectual Coloniality in the Traditionalist School
... Ibn ‘Arabi himself is often alleged to have been a proto-Perennialist. For example, the Perennialist author and Schuonian William Stoddart has remarked that Ibn ‘Arabi should be acknowledged as one of the main “forerunners of the perennial philosophy in the East” since he “explained with particular cogency how an ‘essence’ of necessity had many ‘forms.’”

The Study of Ibn Arabi
the Traditionalist School of esotericism on Akbarian studies, the study of all things ʾIb°n ʿArabiyy (Arabic, اِبْن عَرَبِيّ), et al. (René Guénon, Henry Corbin, Hadi Fakhoury, an abducted ʾIb°n ʿArabiyy, et al.) 🌬️ 🧜🏼‍♀️ 🍁 🤲🏼 ❄️ 🎑 🏘️ 💘 🧘🏿‍♂️ 🥝 🧚🏼 🫣 🌉 🦅
Three alternate designations for Akbarian studies are: Ibn Arabism, Ibn Arabi studies, and Akbarism. The latter, ⫯Ak°bariyyaẗuṇ (أَكْبَرِيَّةٌ) in Arabic, is derived from ʾIb°n ʿArabiyy’s alias: Šay°ẖ ʾal•⫯Ak°bar (Arabic, شَيْخ الأَكْبَر). If can be translated as elder the magnified one.
