Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, created the spiritual and material worlds. He brought forth six divine emanations, the Amesha Spentas, to help maintain creation.

Angra Mainyu, the destructive spirit, arose to oppose creation, bringing death, disease, and chaos into the perfect world.

The cosmic battle between Good and Evil began, with humans choosing sides through thoughts, words, and deeds.

The final victory of Good is assured, when Saoshyant, the future savior, will bring about the Renovation of the World.
