The procreative powers in Nature, animate and inanimate, seeming to be the source of animal and vegetable life, received adoration, which ultimately led to unspeakable corruption. Herodotus tells us that the Persians in his time worshipped the sun, moon, sky, earth, fire, wind and water. Offerings to the gods were laid on a mass of pomegranate twigs (baresman; Sanskrit, barhis), and the flesh of victims was boiled, not burnt. Libations of haoma-juice were poured out, just as in India the soma was the drink of both gods and their worshippers.

It is complex to treat Persian gods because their importance differs according to different religions :

AHURA MAZDA

He is the perpetual, warm and living light that repels the cold, dead darkness in which evil reigns. He is the author of the 7 creations, nam ely sky, water, earth, plants, animals, humans and fire.

ANGRA MAINYU

"The spirit of evil" The very concept of evil, which wants to destroy the world and cover it with darkness. He lives in the darkness of the North, home to all the forces of Evil. In his incessant fight against Ahura Mazda and his creations, he is helped by other demonic beings.

ZURVAN AKARANA

Father of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, he is the god of infinite time, of boundless time, of time that lasts, but exists only among the Zurvanists as such. He thus gives birth to the principle of good and the principal of evil, in the form of twins. Originally, he was a god of mythology from ancient Iran. It was only during the centuries that followed Zarathoustra's time that followers of the zurvanism (sect) began to consider Zurvan Akarana as the eternal being, above good and evil, who created Ahura Mazda and Ahriman to compel them to fight to dominate creation. That it is more a concept than a god is debatable, but this is not the purpose of this section. He deserves his place among the principal gods.
