Abstract: (2654 Views)
This study is aimed at knowing a dimension of mountain myth namely height and the relation between the abstract relations of this natural prominent manifestation with metaphysics. The relation we mean here is a kind of mysterious relation classifying mountains as the sacred places having their own characteristics in accordance with ancestors and various lands basic principles from a narrower point of view based on the literature and ceremonies of Mazdisna. These characteristics are assumed the foundations for the abstract relation between the human beings and God.
This relation was set in Ancient Iran era in form of a place for Gods and Lords, and victimization place special for the worshipers of these Lords and Gods on the elevated mountains. In fact, mountains are regarded as the places for ascent and edification from the skies doors to the super natural world.
Ferdosi, the most well-known Iranian epic and myth poet has depicted this point in his work in such a manner that the place for the worshipers and its supernatural relation with God is located at the top of the mountains close to sky through his masterpiece.
We have tried here to cover all the cases where mountains are known the place for igniting the sacred fire or the supernatural relation of the worshipers and ascetics with their Gods by Ferdousi in Shahnameh and further the same in the Avestain and Pahlavi religious books.
