Atar

The "Holy Fire" and the visible son of Ahura Mazda, he is the living energy that serves as the focal point for all Zoroastrian worship. He is not a god to be prayed to, but a medium through which the prayer travels, the purifying heat that separates the spirit from the dross of the matter. He represents the spark of divinity within the human breast and the cosmic energy that drives the stars. He is the warmth of the home and the brilliance of the temple, the silent witness who consumes the darkness.
