Frashokereti

Frashokereti is the 'Fresh-Making' or 'renewal of the world'. A related concept is 'Rectification' or the putting of the world into good order.

Good World Order

We seek to support the Good World Order across the planet earth which is our home. We imagine a Good World Emperor providing good management in those areas which can only be managed taking a world-wide approach. We imagine that there will be a plural political arrangement with many different polities or states across the earth each organizing their internal affairs according to their own wishes and customs with the minimum interference from the emperor or other political powers.

Cyrusson, the future Saviour-King

We look forward to the arrival of 'Cyrusson' or the 'Son of King Cyrus' to be the future saviour king and emperor of the world.
Cyrusson is a spiritual and cultural descendant of the historical King Cyrus the Great.

Kara Zartiana

The Kara Zartiana, (literally 'Zoroastrian Army') is the Zartian Corpus or outward-facing body of Zartians seeking to work for the good of the world. We can do this in particular by developing Sarokresis in ourselves and our neighbours.

Spada Pantalica

The Spada Pantalica or 'Army for the Common Flourishing' is the world-wide movement of those pushing for the Good World Order. It includes the Kara Zartiana who we imagine might be in the vanguard or in a leading role in the Spada. However all people of good will and sound judgement who are working usefully to support the common flourishing are a part of the Spada.
The slogan Eunoia, Eudaena, Eusebia means Good Thinking, Good Moral Vision, Good Devotion.
An alternative might be Eunoia, Eusebia, Eukratia (where Eukratia is 'Good Rule' or 'good use of strength')

Scriptures

Our primary scripture is the Gospel of Zoroaster also known as the Zartigathas or Songs of Zoroaster.

Mithraists may also be interested in other scriptures of the Persian Zoroastrians, especially the Yasna to Mithra and the Bundahisn.

In addition we hope that new scriptures will be written addressed most precisely to the needs of the present day.

Scriptural languages.

The main scriptural languages are Avestan, Ancient Greek, Persian and English. As a general rule we will only use scriptures originally written in one of these languages.

For new scriptures intended for the whole Mithraic community the acceptable languages are International Persian (Persian written in Latin script) and English.
