Since there seems to be an interest in Fravahar, I created one too. I like the more traditional look. And if anything needs to be added, I feel those elements should be external to the Fravahar itself.
Lacking all design skills, I enlisted the help of AI.
i'm a Roman btw, i created this as tribute and for representation needs, hope you guys like it.
I'm wondering if anyone has an insight into the art of weaving Kustis in India. Are they still made by hand as demonstrated in some videos on YouTube or have new methods been introduced?
I’m Ukrainian university student obsessed with history who discovered this ancient faith and more I read about it, more I was fascinated, because that’s how I view the world from the point when my Deaena was formed. I always had very precise feeling of Mithra’s domain. I seek for the community where I can talk about Mazdaysna and go all the way to initiation. I know Ashem Vohu and Ahuna variya by heart already
Does anyone know good books for learning Avestan? Im looking to learn both the language and script.
Sorry if this comes off uninformed, I don’t want to blindly pick out something and hope it’s good.

>Avestan is the sacred language of the Zoroastrians in which they perform most of their rituals. It is known only from its use in the rituals of modern Zoroastrians and the manuscripts reproducing these rituals since the 13th century. Although sure dates cannot be provided, it is very likely that the creation of the liturgical corpus extended from the end of the 2nd millennium BCE until the end of the Achaemenid period (4th cent. BCE). This corpus includes texts in at least three linguistic layers (Old, Middle and Young Avestan). The present manual aims to provide a tool for facilitating the teaching of Young Avestan but keeps in mind also the possibility of self-learning since Avestan is not well-represented in the actual academic landscape. It includes a progressive presentation of the complex phonetic evolutions that are very characteristic of the Avestan language as a consequence of the evolution of the recitation until its fixation (6th cent. CE) and also of the Avestan grammar, complemented with exercises including samples of original texts of increasing difficulty. In each lesson, one text is reproduced in a manuscript, introducing the students to the direct work with manuscripts.
