ANGRA-MAINYU, OR ANGRO- MAINYUSH
A symbol of the evil power in the desire-mind, or
the illusory principle of the lower mind, which creates opposites.
“Thereupon came Angra-mainyu, he created the serpent in the river,
and winter the work of the daevas." - Vendidad, I. 2. S.B. of E.
“This refers to the time when the mind distinguishes between good
and evil. The "serpent signifies the subtle nature of that which
first ensnares, but which ultimately proves to be the means of
enlightening the Self. The power of evil, or the illusory lower
self, fashions "winter " or that which is the obverse of the
fruitful principle above.
