ahura-mazda's

Updated: June 10, 2025

Originally a mere attribute of Ahura-mazda, Vohu-mano came to be considered, first as one of the high angels attendant on him, and then formally as one of-his six councillors. He had a distinct sphere or province assigned to him in Ahura-mazda's kingdom, which was the maintenance of life in animals and of goodness in man. He was the "Light" of the universe, subtle, all-pervading, omnipresent.
