Plant Lore Legends and Lyrics | Gece KitaplığıPlant Lore Legends and Lyrics Kitap Aklamas A tradition contained in the sacred books of the Parsis states that at the beginning of the world Ormuzd, the giver of all good, created the primal steer, which contained the germs of all the animals. Ahriman, the evil spirit, then created venomous animals which destroyed the steer: while dying, there sprang out of his right hip the first man, and out of his left hip the first man's soul. (Tantm Blteninden)
