Heptadiva

The Heptadiva are Mithras, Anhita, Sarus, Vahram, Athina, Vatis and Azidus.

The Heptadiva are seven immortal spirit-beings. They are seven Prosopa or persons , who form the members of a divine royal household. The Heptadiva help us make sense of the drama of life, as they represent the spiritual forces at play in the world, whether creating the Ordered Kosmos or attacking it.

The Heptadiva consists of Mithras, the Kosmic Father, the Anhita, the Kosmic Mother, Sarus the Listener, Vahram the Mighty, Athina the Protector, Vatis the Frenzied and Azidus the Lustful.

The Seven

Mithras is the father of the family. He has overall responsibility for keeping the life of the family in Good Order so that the family flourishes together.

Anhita is the mother of the family. She loves all her children and labours to provide all they need to live, grow, heal and to flourish.

Sarus, the Listener is a sensitive being who listens to the creatures of the world, who understands the needs of their souls, and who seeks to provide for them. .

Vahram Magtus Aristus is the mightiest and best being. Vahram is mighty in all ways, he is capable to the limits of human possibility.

Athina is female partner to Vahram, but has all it takes to act independenly.

Vatis is the frenzied one, able to break through conventional barriers on thought and activity to find new ways forward.

Azidus is a being driven by lust, especially a lust for power and who is blind to the consequences of his actions on others except as to how they might rebound on him.

The Divine Royal Household

The Heptadica can be imagined as a royal household.

Mithras and Anhita can be imagined as King and Queen. They have responsibility for the household - in its provisioning and its governance.

Sarus and Vahram are twin princes. They can be imagined as being born together but Sarus came out first, and is considered the senior. Together they are called the Aspinas or horse-twins when they ride together into battle against hostile powers. Sarus is dressed more like a warrior monk, and Vahram as a more conventional warrior prince.

Azidus is their half-brother. He shares the same mother, Anhita, but he is not the natural son of Mithras. He can sometimes be helpful if managed carefully by Mithras, but by nature he is inclined to follow his own path and cause trouble.
