Why the Grimoire Tradition Should Invoke Ahura Mazda — and What That Actually Requires of the Operator eFireTemple The Argument the Series Has Been Building The previous articles in this series established three things in sequence. First: the Western magical tradition — its divine hierarchy, its angelic orders, its ethical operator-worthiness requirement — is structurally Zoroastrian. The Amesha Spentas became the archangels. Asha became the purity requirement of the grimoires. Agrippa named Zoroaster as the source. The architecture is Persian. Second: the god installed at the top of that architecture is not the god the architecture was built for.
