Forwarded from Pagan Revivalism
:Identifying Axiality:
Portions of the Rig Veda were found written in cuneiform tablets in Syria & Egypt. These came from the Mitanni, a group from Iran who built a sizable militaristic-trade empire in the upper levant during the mid-late bronze age. Indra, in these texts, retains his position as King of the Vedic Gods. We can conclude that among the Iranians, Indra worship was prominent.
Zoroastrianism by contrast inverts the divine paradigm. Indra in the Gathas and other Yasnas is seen as an evil demon under Angra Mainyu. After the later Persian Empire subdued northern (vedic period) india, Indra was reduced to a minor god whos up to no good.
What we can conclude from these facts, is that Zoroastrianism & the axiality it spread was the equivalent of Pagan satanism; where the old gods are now evil demons & the old demons are now "the good gods." It would explain why they were bent on destroying ancestral faiths, because they worship evil as good, accusing us that which they are guilty like Saul Alinsky.
