Zoroastrian Heresies

Zoroastrian heresies refer to beliefs and practices that diverge from the orthodox teachings of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, founded by the prophet Zoroaster. These heresies can include the worship of other gods, reinterpretation of Ahura Mazda (the supreme god), or rejection of core tenets such as the duality of good and evil. Throughout history, as Zoroastrianism faced external influences and internal dissent, various sects and beliefs emerged, challenging traditional doctrines. Understanding these heresies helps illuminate the evolution and adaptability of the faith within different cultural and historical contexts.
