FORTNIGHT OVERVIEW

Zarathustra, Zurvanism
Late Summer - Fortnight 12 (Zephyr+Earth)

Feast/Sep 6: Good thoughts, good words, good deeds of Zarathustra. Two brothers, dark and light. Ahriman vs Ahura Mazda. (Grape Harvest)

Zarathustra Magi

Zarathustra (c. 1200–1000 BCE), founder of Zoroastrianism, taught good thoughts, words, and deeds via the Avesta, with Magi as his priestly successors. Manichaean altars and grounding prayers to Ahura Mazda countered Ahriman’s chaos, rooting spirituality in earth. His unique dualism of light versus darkness framed Persian theology.

Zurvanites

Zurvanites, emerging c. 5th century BCE in Achaemenid Persia, posited Zurvan (Time) as the progenitor of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, diverging from orthodox Zoroastrianism. Manichaean prostrations and Sufi whirling rescued primal man from darkness, grounding redemption in ritual. Their distinctive
infinitetime cosmology reconciled dualistic tensions.

Zoroastrian Magians

Zoroastrian Magians, formalized under the Sassanid Empire (224–651 CE), preserved Zarathustra’s teachings, with fire temples and the Vendidad. Sufi sand purification reflected the Living Spirit’s rescue, aligning earthly acts with cosmic salvation. Their unique focus on ritual purity sustained Zoroastrian identity.
