PraxisWhat should a Zartomazdean actually do?We answer that question under three labels: MazdayasnaMazdayasna means 'worship of Auramazda'.Auramazda is the primary personality of Yazda or God that we worship, and gives its name to the whole religion. Mazdayasna then is religious practice in the conventional sense of observing or partaking in rituals, saying prayers, chanting scripture or singing hymns etc. How exactly a Zartomazdean should do this is still something to be worked out, but is likely to be inspired by both the practice of traditional Zoroastrians and of those of Christians. ChrestificationChrestification means becoming more like Chrestor Divinus, the divine form of the human person in service to Auramazda.Being in service to Auramazda means undertaking Their work, or phrased differently, allowing Their work to be done through you. With Chrestification you become more capable of doing this rightly and successfully. Chrestification involves practices which shape your soul primarily, but your mind and body also. ChrestorismChrestorism means getting on and actually making a beneficial impact on the world. |
