Ahura Mazda And His Emanations In The Gathas: A Treatise For Freemasons by Albert Pike is a comprehensive study of the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism and its influence on Freemasonry. The book explores the concept of Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity in Zoroastrianism, and his various emanations, or attributes, as described in the Gathas, the sacred hymns of the religion. Pike delves into the symbolism and allegory used in the Gathas and relates them to the teachings and practices of Freemasonry. He also discusses the similarities and differences between Zoroastrianism and other ancient religions, such as Hinduism and Judaism, and their impact on Freemasonry. The book is written specifically for Freemasons and provides insights into the spiritual and philosophical underpinnings of the organization.
