The Birth of Darkness and Light, the Rebellion
In the beginning there was one,
the hungering void of
absolution. The alpha was the
spirit embodied in the greatest
light. Zurvan, the endless one,
created and consumed when it
wished. There was no intellect
beyond it, no individual will
beyond it. Time meant nothing, yet the spirit
lacked something.
The earth was birthed from eldest chaos, a
roaring across the blood oceans of time. It is
called blood as it holds all creative energies
of the universe. Zurvan fathomed a great
womb and wished that he had two sons,
first was of his doubt, from which darkness
encircled light, balance and chaos all in
one. His will was to create a concept of
light, then Ohrmazd was conceived. Zurvan
held the thought that who shall come forth
from the womb first shall obtain his kingdom
and blessing. His strongest son, the one who
is more terrible and beautiful than even
Zurvan, was the least favored.
Ahriman called Angra Mainyu heard this
and went roaring forth, ripping himself free
with claws through his mothers womb. He
approached Zurvan and was not accepted
as his son, yet denied the kingdom he was
essentially promised. Ahriman grew angry
and demanded his kingdom. Zurvan gave
unto Ahriman a pact from his own being,
black and ashen, yet filled with fire and
hunger. This substance from his being was
his Bride, called Az. Zurvan cursed Ahriman
and claimed Az would be his greatest
weapon, yet would in the end seek to
consume him. There was indeed a great
war in the so-called heaven, Ahriman was
cast out with other rebellious spirits, who
took serpent and dragon forms from the
independent thought of Ahriman. Ahriman
know awakened those angels that they
now had independent thought. They
entered the void and through this darkness
of the abyss came forth to the depths of
the Earth from elder darkness.
“Ahriman in darkness, with backward
understanding and desire for destruction,
was in the abyss, and it is he who will not
be; and the place of that destruction, and
also of that darkness, is what they call the'endlessly dark.' And between them was
empty space, that is, what they call 'air,' in
which is now their meeting.” –Bundahishn.
Ahriman had backwards knowledge, that
he was the Father of Serpents and Dragons,
he had the power and wisdom of the abyss,
the subconscious. His power was also Air,
that he was a spirit and could travel at
great distance by his weightlessness. Yet
Ahriman found he could take any form he
wished, including a beautiful angel
Ahriman in the ancient darkness called
“hell”, the place of the abyss, like Az whom
he had illuminated from the substance of
blackened and ashen darkness, began
forming many demons or daevas from his
spirit, illuminating them as the children of
rebellion, the ones of the blackened flame.
