Ahura Mazda

Ahura Mazda is a divine being from Old Iranian religion. He has also been known as Ahuramazda, Hourmazd and Ohrmazd. Ahura Mazda is described as the highest deity of worship in Zoroastrianism, along with being the first and most frequently invoked deity in the Yasna. In horror fiction, Ahura Mazda has been referenced in the Wishmaster film series. A page from an ancient text describes him as such:

"Ahura-Mazda is the deity of light in pre-Islamic Persia. His shadow was said to contain all that was dark. He thus came to symbolize the duality of good and evil. Ahura-Mazda was also known as 'Keeper of the Stone of the Secret Fire'."

The Stone of the Secret Fire was a red jewel that contained the essence of a powerful Djinn, who had been trapped inside the stone for over seven-hundred years. The stone itself was secreted away inside of a statue of Ahura Mazda, which was put on display at a museum in Los Angeles. In 1999, several art thieves broke into the museum in an effort to steal some paintings. The stone was broken free from the statue, thus loosing the Djinn upon the world.
