Thou art the beginning and Thou art the end of all, Ahura Mazda. Thouhadst no beginning and Thou shalt know no end. Long, long ages ago, ere creation came into being through Thy creative will, Thou didst live in sublime solitude. When Yazatas were not and Amesha Spentas were not, and the Fravashis existed as […]
Thou Art light, Ahura Mazda. Where Thou art, there is light. Void of Thee all is darkness. In Thy resplendence Thou dost live in Thy heavenly realms and wear the star spangled heaven as Thy garment.
