Zarathustra, Shaman or Philosopher?


BUY NOW: 

In the West, we know Zarathustra thanks to the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who, in one of his best-known works, has turned the amoralist and teacher into an eternal figure. But who was really Zarathustra? Prophet of Mazdeism (also known as Zoroastrianism), religion of the ancient Iranians, consecrated to the cult of Ahura Mazda, Zarathustra lived around the year 1000 or 1200 B.C. His story has been transmitted to us through the sacred books of the Avesta where his precepts are written about the art and way of living in the cult of Ahura Mazda, father of the cosmos and genesis of good, and how to help him in his fight against the universal germ of evil: Angra Mainyu.
