Zorochristian MithraismZorochristian Mithraism is the main religious form of Zartianism or neo-Zoroastrianism, which seeks to encourage people to be good servants of the living world, inspired especially by the teachings of Zarathustra.While grounded in Zoroastrian ideas, Zorochristian Mithraism is influenced by the traditional Christian religion, and seeks to present itself in a way that is familiar to those from a traditionally Christian culture. At the centre of Zorochristian teaching are the seven Kosmikoi, or beings that are responsible for order and disorder. They are Mithras, Anhita, Magtus, Chrestus, Azidus, Spentaman and Angraman. Three of the Kosmikoi roughly parallel the Abramochristian Holy Trinity : Mithras the Heavenly Father, Chrestus the Good Son and Spentaman the Holy Spirit. However among the Kosmikoi are also Anhita the Heavenly Mother, Magtus the Mighty One, Azidus the Greedy and Angraman the Evil Spirit. Anhita also has a parallel in Catholic teaching at least by the Virgin Mary and Angraman by the Devil. The inclusion of Magtus however marks a distinct difference between Zorochristianity and mainstream Christianity. Magtus the Mighty One has ancient roots but is best known in modern times from the teaching of Nietzsche. Zorochristians also venerate three holy saints above others. These are Zartus, Jesus and Georgius. Zartus Sophus (Zoroaster the wise) represents a person of Good Mind, Jesus Chrestus (Jesus the Good or Jesus the Servant) represents a person of Loving Heart and Georgius Fortis (George the Brave) a person of courage and practical action. Alongside the seven Kosmikoi and the three holy saints are the seven Magoi Ekkritoi (Select wise men) also known as the Heptamagi. These are considered the foremost teachers of wisdom. They are Zartus (Zoroaster), Gotama (Buddha), Plato, Aristotle, Hegel, Nietzsche and Jung. Our hope is that Zorochristian Mithraism, alongside other branches of Zartianism (neo-Zoroastrianism) and Mithraism (such as Zartian Agathism, Psychosophism and Panthalism) will prove to be an attractive resource for those with the yearnings to make a positive difference to the world, but who find the teachings of traditional Christianity don't provide the help they are looking for.
