Their rites are very mysterious, and no traveller, who has written anything about them, knows for a certainty the whole truth. They are the ''Sufis ''of Syria. They resent being called Druzes as an insult, but call themselves the “disciples of Hamsa”, their Messiah, who came to them in the ninth century from the “Land of the Word of God”, which land and word they kept religiously secret. The Messiah to come will be the same Hamsa, but called ''Hakem''—the “All‐ Healer”. (See ''Isis Unveiled, ''II 308, ''et seq.'')
