And what exactly is this called "faravahar"? To me looks like a spaceship with a dude exiting through the gate.And Ahura Mazda is the same God that Abrahamic religions worship or not? What is the connection of Zoroastrianism with Hinduism?Sorry for a lot of questions I am just very curious about it lately.
>>39639883Make specific questions so I can try and member
>>39639883> And Ahura MazdaAhura Mazda = Amen = Aum This is the vibration of everything. Any person who manages to become complete silence. Hears this from everything.If a group of kids hears a gunshot, some might describe the sound as, BAM!, some of them will describe it as, BOOM!, etcSimilarly, Christ, Buddha, Krishna, Yogis, etc hears the sound and use different words to convey it.
>>39639883Zurvan begat ahura mazdata
>>39639883So like, God is zurvan, right, and he has two sons, he promises godhood to the firstborn. So Ahriman, being ambitious, is born first, but is rejected, so he goes like: I Lord of Darkness now.
It will make more sense once you realize that the founder-king of the Persian empire, Cyrus the Great, was simply the Lewian translitteration of his Greek name, Perseus (hence Persian Empire, the Empire of Perseus).
>>39640494It's assumed the 3 wise men that visited baby Jesus were from Persia, possibly one was from Ethiopia. Regardless, they weren't jews, Christianity and Islam didn't exist yet and they were still considered holy men so I wonder what they practiced.
>>39642337I could have sworn the consensus was that they were Chaldean Zoroastrian Magis. Hence their expertise in divining events by the stars, and their bizarre eastern dress.
>And Ahura Mazda is the same God that Abrahamic religions worship or not?No, however Judaism was definitely inspired by Zoroastrianism>What is the connection of Zoroastrianism with Hinduism?The connections lies with the Indo-Aryans. They were a massive tribe in the steppe region, who tamed the horse and the first thing they did was conquer the entire Eurasian landmass. The old vedic hindu religion and the pre-zoroastrian religion were similar because both came from the indo aryans. However for whatever reason they had some infighting and they all split up. It's clear the old persians and hindus didnt like each other, because the name for demons was the name for other religions divine beings and vice versaZoroastrian religion came along when their prophet put down all pagan beliefs and brought monotheism to the peopleUnfortunately though the Islamic invasions destroyed the flame of this religion utterly, now it's just cosplay for Iranians who hate islam
>>39642358>Chaldean Zoroastrian Magis.Sounds legit. Sometimes nativity scenes have a black dude so I wondered if one was Ethiopian but maybe he's a recent DEI hire kek.
>>39642365The Indo-Aryan basically split in three:>Zoroastrianism went with God>Hinduism went with karma>Buddhism went with void
>>39642365This. They essentially solidified all 3 modern abrahmic religions as we know it. It's a long read but "Persia and creation of Judaism" by Dr M D Magee goes in depth on this. Oswald Spengler - one of the few who fully grasped this, calls it all "Magian".
>>39639883It’s demonic.
>>39642365Seems like a simplification of the truth. There was esoteric zoroastrianism. I don't think it was basic bitch dualism. Hundreds or thousands of years later, there was an orthodox Zoroastrian that emerged around 200-300 AD in response to the political climate of the region. When we project Zoroastrianism back to ~2000 BC, we can't use the orthodox 200 AD version.
>>39644228Forget about the names of the entities. What do they say about the universe?>universe is benevolent>universe is benevolent, but sometimes it takes a while to even out>universe might be benevolent, but it might be malevolent, depending on how you interpret it and how that changes your thought processes, leading you to reimagine the world differentlyThese are different but not contradictory, so how can you call it a schism or split? Nuance was added over time. Given that there were many oral traditions and few written traditions, it's possible that the nuance was always there but not communicated to autistic scribes as effectively as the later prophets ensured.
>>39642337They're supposed wizard kingsThat's how spanish tradition calls them.So wizard, magi? King magi of zoroaster?
>>39645910Here's my source: Stephen E Flowers.Essentially, the persian had magi. Magician comes from magi.Now, I don't know about other countries, but Christians in spain celebrate a day where the 3 wise men bring presents to children (called wizard/magi kings).
>>39645958Most modern bibles call them magi, again. It's the epiphany, the magi were priests of the heavenly sky father too they just called him Oromazdes, and like the early Christians they knew the "elohim" were other gods and it originally wasn't monotheism but henotheism. The three kings are planetary priests / metaphors, think the Capitoline Triad or the mystic trinity, now just portrayed as old men Istari.Wgen a king was born it is the custom of his constituents to pledge allegiance to the new heir. The nobility of all the land would renew their vows so to speak. When the Magi ephiphanized Jesus it was an act of rebellion, they were acknowledging a random peasant's claim to the divine bloodline of Israel over King Herod's (just like David's over Saul's, before them.)
>>39644361Abrahamic religions are demonic versions of Zoroastrianism
>>39639912>If a group of kids hears a gunshot, some might describe the sound as, BAM!, some of them will describe it as, BOOM!, etclol, this analogy couldn't be more american

>>39646377Priests are all philosophers at the highest level, so priests of different schools talking to each other and collaborating is as normal as a work conference between universities.
