The Divinity of the Waters

By Louise Merlin

Discover the Immortal Divinity Who Shaped Ancient Persia

Tracing her origins from a pristine river spirit in the northern steppes, through her elevation to an imperial mega-deity, and finally to her enduring survival in Islamic folklore, The Divinity of the Waters offers a monumental analysis of Aredvi Sura Anahita (the Yazata of the waters and fertility)-one of the most complex figures in ancient Iranian religion.

This exhaustive report dissects Anahita's multifaceted identity, from the Aban Yasht's description of her as the "mighty, undefiled river" and meticulous biological guardian-purifying male seed and cleansing female wombs-to her striking iconography as a war goddess in a celestial chariot.
