[I]So much for people who still think Germanics have little to do with Zoroastri

ans and other Indo-Aryan.


Unlike the Germanic religion, Zoroastrian spirituality still exists to this day
from an unbroken line of spiritual transmission ([URL="https://authenticgathazor
oastrianism.org"]those people are busy reviving it entirely in Persia[/URL]). Kn
owledge of Zoroastrianism is necessary to restore the Indo-Aryan religion (since
Vedism might be too Indianized in a way). [/I]
[quote][B]Moslem voyagers, traders, and theologians from the Umayyad and Abbasid
dynasties/caliphates, came into contact with the Vikings during their visits to
trading centers such as Kiev and Novgorod, part of the Volga Trade route. [/B] Mos
lems appeared to have become very familiar with the Old Norse kinsfolk and their
belief systems during these visits.
[B]Moslems classified the Vikings as Majus or heathen Zoroastrians, since they tho
ught them to be very much like Zoroastrians of pre Islamic Iran/Persia.[/B]
Majus (plural majusi, from Greek Mgos ????, Latin Magus), is a term that goes back
to the [B]Avestan mag[/B], referring to the [B]Zoroastrian shaman warriors.[/B]
According to Ibn Rustah s (10th century,) Vikings accorded great respect to their
hamans [attibah] who had great authority over their chieftain.

[B]In almost all Moslem accounts, reference to the Vikings starts with the phras
e: al-Majus (Vikings/Zoroastrians)
May God curse them! [/B] Moslem envoys referred
to the Viking chiefs/kings as [I]malik al-majus[/I], and to the Viking lands as
[I]bilad al-majus.[/I]
Regarding Christianized Vikings, Moslem accounts state: Norse men were Majusi Zor
oastrian heathens, but they now follow the Christian faith [I]din al-na?raniya[/I
], and have given up fire-worship and their previous religion, except for the pe
ople of a few scattered islands of theirs in the sea, where they keep to their o
ld Majusi (Zoroastrian) faith.
Moslem accounts to the Vikings include Al-Ghazal s (8th
9th Century, Al-Andalus) e
ntitled embassy mission to the Vikings, originated within Al-Muqtabis fi tarikh al
-Andalus of Ibn Hayyan (The collected knowledge on the history of Al-Andalus.)
The most extensive account on the Vikings by Moslems is that written by Ibn Fadl
an (10th Century, Baghdad.)
The notion that the Moslem classification of the Vikings as Majusi Pagan Zoroastr
ians, was simply a case of mistaken identity is highly unlikely. Majus as Zoroast
rians appears many times in hadith (words ascribed to Mohammad,) and once in Qur
an 22.17. In fact, moslem use of the designation Majus in the new context of the
Norse people, proves that they were very conscious/aware of the meaning of the
term.
Prophet Zarathustra, in his poetic gathas calls his fellowship airy noble, honorab
le, Aryan, or mag magnificent, mighty, of masterful powers/abilities.
mile Benveniste believed that Avestan term mag signified a priestly or shamanic-war
rior clan among the ancient Aryans/Iranians, renowned for their mightily powers a
nd abilities, (Benveniste, 1938, pp. 13, 18-20.)
Accordingly, Avestan mag is cognate with Old Church Slavonic mogo to be able German
ic magan, English may enable, make possible, Greek mekhos, all going back to the r
econstructed Indo-European root *magh.

Moslems recognized early on the great similarity between the Norse beliefs and A
ncient Zoroastrianism. Both Zoroastrianism and Norse beliefs go back to a common
Indo-European/ancient Aryan heritage.
However, within the Indo European world, ancient Zoroastrianism and Old Norse be
liefs show a much greater similarity and closer kinship to each other.
Zoroastrian and Viking apocalyptic literature are almost identical. Both fra -kart
and Ragnark foretell a series of future events, including a great battle that ult
imately will result in the splendid renewal of the god powers and the worlds. In
both traditions, mortal men are the allies and friends of the Immortal gods in
this impending battle.
In both, the Immortal Gods, the ahrs and the sir are god beings who embody the cosmic
order, and the quest for excellence.

Both define their faiths as steadfast allegiance to the ahrs (ahra tka ) and/or true fai
h in the aesir. Interestingly, neither the term ahr nor the sir was ever adopted in
islamic Persia or christian Scandinavia.
Both ancient Zoroastrianism and Norse accounts are characterized by an underlyin
g duality between the evolving, creative consciousness of the god beings, the ahrs
and the sir, verses the inertia, gloom, stagnation, of the davs diabolic forces
vesta, and monster giants in the Eddas.

in th

For the god-powers ignite life energy and creativity into the universe, while th
e anti-gods have no vital or creative energies, and are devoid of any genius or
meaningful imagination in both traditions.
Odin or inn like Mazd, the supreme ahr Of Zoroastrianism, is the chief among the aesi
r. Both Mazd and inn are the essence of godhood present in all life forms. They both
represent higher wisdom and the odyssey, progress of consciousness/mind power, a
nd are not static, but eternally evolving and perfecting themselves.
Odin s discovery of the runes of wisdom in nine days and nights, is identical to the
Zoroastrian purification and pondering period of 9 days and nights for the Zoro
astrian priests.
While Mazd is etymologically related to Greek Muses Inspirational sources of creat
ivity, knowledge and wisdom, however, among the Indo European Gods, Mazd is undoub
tedly the closest to/identical to inn.
inn in the sense of sacred vision and shamanic wisdom is derived from the root wothu
z, a cognate of Old Church Slavonic aviti and Avestan vaiti.
The root vaiti appears in the poetic gathas in Yasna 44.18, 4th rhymed verse li
ne in the sense of having insight, sacred vision of wholeness, healing powers.
The root vaiti comes again in the form of vt in the gahic Yasnna 35.6, and in the
form of vt in the gathic Yasna 35.7. In the younger Avesta, the root appears in Y
asna 9.25 and Vendidad 9.2, 9.47, 9.52.
Last but not least, Herodotus maintained that the Mag were a hereditary priestly
clan among the ancient Zoroastrians. It turns out that the very rare haplogroup
I L41 or I-M170 appears in high frequency in Iran, only among some Zoroastrian I
ranian priestly families, in the Caspian mountains (the last stronghold of Zoroa
strianism in Iran,) and among some isolated group of mountainous Kurds. Otherwis
e, Haplogroup I, is found almost exclusively today in the Dinaric Alps, and in N
orthwestern Europe or Scandinavia.

I L41 or I-M170 is a defining SNP for haplogroup I, and contains individuals dir
ectly descended from the earliest members of Haplogroup I, bearing none of the s
ubsequent mutations. In other words, it is Proto Old Norse and Proto South Slavi
c.
Before taking My genetic Natgeo2 test, I thought for sure, that I must definitel
y belong to haplogroup R1a, the most common haplogroup among ancient Iranians, a
nd many Eastern and some Northern Europeans of today. It turned out that my hapl
ogroup is I L41 or I M170 shared by 0.03 percent of all participants in the Natg
eo2 project.
This genetic connection to pagan Europe, strongly suggests more than a close kin
ship of ideas, but old blood ties among priestly clans of ancient Zoroastrian Ir
an, and shamans of pagan Europe.
After all, the other common term for priests in the Avesta is a?ra.van
family hearth or flame.
