DramatismDramatism is the practice of acting out some aspect of the workings of the world in the form of a drama.This could be in the style of a play associated with a theatre, or as a ritual in a temple, or something in-between. Most typically a Zartomazdean drama is performed by seven 'prosopa' or characters. Often there is also an eight role of 'conductor' of the drama. Potentially there are many ways that 'families' of prosopa could be made up, depending on what the drama is about. However we currently promote these three families: Heptamerta: Mithras, Anhita, Sarus, Vahram, Azidus, Spentamanus, Angramanus. Heptaspenta: Spentamanus, Eunoia, Eusebia, Arta, Eukratia, Harvatas, Amertas. Heptamagi: Zartus, Gotama, Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, Nietzsche, Jung. The Heptamerta are our primary idea for modern Mithraic ritual. However the Heptaspenta may have a place especially when recreating traditional Zoroastrian ritual, and the Heptamagi are also occasionally used. Updated Apr 4026 ZHE |
