 Zurvan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zurvan is the Persian god of infinite time, space and fate.
However, in certain strains of Zoroastrianism, Zurvan is also the father of the good deity, Ahura Mazda, and the evil deity, Angra Mainyu.
The earliest solid evidence for a belief in Zurvan seems to date from the Sassanid dynasty, which ruled Persia from 224 to 651.

 GRAECO-EGYPTAIN MAGICK -- www.hermeticmagick.com
Legend has it that Zurvan, who was a hermaphroditic being, existed eternally, but wanted a son.
Zurvan's sacrifices had actually been successful and the good god called Ahuramazda (later Ormuzd) was subsequently born.
According to the Avesta, Zurvan Akarana (Zeroana Akerne) has always existed, his glory is exalted, his light is resplendent; he is beyond human intellect and comprehension.

 Zurvan
Zurvan was postulated as the creator of the world and the gods.
It was typically the priests of Asham who brought forth the heretical idea that if Aharom and Angran were brothers, they were born from some greater being.
However, some wizards and sages believe that these priests of Asham stumbled upon the truth and many continue to search for evidence of Zurvan.

Zurvan Akarana, the Infinite Time, the Consuming Aeon, or as in older times called deus-Airmanius (God-Ahriman) is the most influential deity in the Middle East, dating back to 7000BC and possibly the source of the majority of polytheistic gods as well as monotheistic Gods.
Its body has been encircled by a coiling serpent (usually seven coils corresponding with seven zodiacal signs) with the head of the serpent on the Zurvan’s head and pointing to nowhere.
The communication with the Outside is only made possibly by mass-combustion, permanent visual impairment, and death not by a cleansing fire (the later cathartic flame) but by manifestations of Telluro-conspiracy towards the Sun.

 Ahriman
According to the story the deity Zurvan wanted a son and made sacred offerings in hopes of becoming a father.
He is co-evil with Ahura Mazda and equally supreme in power, but will be overcome in the end by the great Persian "omniscient lord of heaven and earth." Early Zoroastrians believed that Ahriman and Ahura Mazda created the world together.
The name of Ahriman first appears in the Gathas, or Songs of Zoroaster, dating back to the seventh-century B.C. Zoroastrianism centers on religious dualism, teaching that the created universe is the product of two equally powerful gods rather than one supreme being.

In short, this attribution of the evolution of the world from the primal Time/Space, Zurvan was based on a thoroughly materialistic interpretation of the universe, fundamentally alien to the orthodox Zoroastrian belief in a creator, a life after death, and a stress on rewards or punishments.
Ahura Mazda was the fulfillment of Zurvan's desires.
The belief was that he existed alone before the heavens and the earth were created.

 Ahriman
The mythology surrounding the twin, spiritual brothers, Ahriman and Ohrmazd, begotten of Zurvan was embodied in the religions of Zoroastrianism,
The twin spirits became the offspring of a pre-existing primeval being, Zurvan Akarana, "infinite time." Because Zurvan had vowed that the firstborn should rule as king and Ahriman "ripped the womb open" in order to claim the title, the evil one was given the kingdom of the world for a limited period.
"After nine thousand years," Zurvan insisted, "Ohrmazd will reign and will do everything according to his good pleasure."

 Time and the Zurvan myth
In the myth, Zurvan, through the supreme god, has been offering sacrifices for a thousand years in order to obtain a son.
Perhaps the myth of Zurvan (Time) can help to explain Zoroaster's basic concept of his religion, Zoroastrianism.
In India, the second dominated, while in Iran, it was the first minus much explanation for the existence of evil since it existed before the creation of the world (Grimal 195).
