In Part II of the Iranian, Divs, Demons and Mysteries, you will witness the Assault of Ahriman. Ahriman is arisen by Jahi the female spirit of debauchery, and thus the first universal battle of GOOD and EVIL is unleashed. Ahriman is later baptized as Satan in Christianity, and Ahura Mazda is the God in the later religions, and we know it as a Japanese car as well. Enjoy!

It's not spelled Mubad! The spelling is Mobad and it has nothing to do with hair! Moabadan-Moabad or priests of priests. It comes from the Middle Persian term magu-pati (teacher of the way (magic) which is also related to ancient Avestan Sanskrit. There are two other ranks of priesthood; there is the Herbad and the Dastur. The Dastur ranks much higher than the other two and you will find the Dastur only among the Parsis in India. I should know all of this because I'm an Indian Zoroastrian.

@kalimaganeshshivan This must be a reference about Ahriman's Maidens. You are correct on the pronunciation.

Here's the Ahriman's adventure!

I liked it very much. I am a freshman in this subject and looking forward to learn.

@GeneParis In Zurvanite Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda (Ohrmuzd) and Ahriman (Angra Mainyu) are represented as twin spirits in one principle - Time (Zurvan). Time is what sustains mankind and yet it is also an enemy that ages us to decrepitude. Fire (sacred to the Zoroastrian) is an elemental figure of Time that can both give warmth and burn us at the same time; perfect duality!

@GeneParis If you want to know the source of Ahriman's Maidens read the canon of the Buddha when he was tempted by Mara (an exact representation of Ahriman) with his beautiful daughters (Which is actually Hindu in origin). There really is no difference.
