The Seven Great Spirits

Amesha Spenta is a Zoroastrian vision for a class of divinity/divine concepts, and literally means (in reverse word order) "Bounteous Immortal". It is stated that the Hebrews combined the concept of Divine Spark or Bounteous Immortal with planetary and astrological concepts ', through their connection with Assyrian, Babylonian and Zoroastrian concents who already understood the Divine Spark which, unites ethereal and spiritual concepts with material and manifest objects in Zoroastrianism

1. Vohu Manah -Middle Persian -'Good Mind' - Vahman or Bahman of cattle (and all animal creation)
