1905. For more than three thousand years the name of Zoroaster was
known around the world. Zoroastrian philosophy, which was the main
religious belief system of ancient Iranians and for about several
hundred years was the basis of the Iranian culture and their life
style, now is almost forgotten. The name is the corrupt Greek form
of the old Iranian Zarathustra. This is a study of Zoroaster by the
scholar Whitney.

The sixteenth subject is this, that, when a woman becomes pregnant
in a house, it is necessary to make an endeavor so that there may
be a continual fire in that house, and to maintain a good watch
over it. 2. And, when the child becomes separate from the mother,
it is necessary to burn a lamp for three nights and days -- if they
burn a fire it would be better -- so that the demons and fiends may
not be able to do any damage and harm.

They begged of her a boon, saying: "Grant us this, O good, most
beneficent Ardvi Sura Anahita! that we may overcome the assemblers
of the Turanian Danus, Kara Asabana, and Vara Asabana, and the most
mighty Duraekaeta, in the battles of this world.
Long before the first Hebrew temple, before the birth of Christ or
the mission of Muhammad, there lived in Persia a prophet to whom we
owe the ideas of a single god, the cosmic struggle between good and
evil, and the Apocalypse. His name was Zarathustra, and his
teachings eventually held sway from the Indus to the Nile and
spread as far as Britain.
Following Zarathustra' s elusive trail back through time and across
the Islamic, Christian, and Jewish worlds, Paul Kriwaczek uncovers
his legacy at a wedding ceremony in present-day Central Asia, in
the Cathar heresy of medieval France, and among the mystery cults
of the Roman empire. He explores pre-Muslim Iran and Central Asia,
ultimately bringing us face to face with the prophet himself, a
teacher whose radical humility shocked and challenged his age, and
whose teachings have had an enduring effect on Western thought. The
result is a tour de force of travel and historical inquiry by an
adventurer in the classic tradition.
