GIRDLE, STAR-STUDDED, SPIRIT-FASHIONED (BELT OF ORION) 

A symbol of the wheel of re-births, or the sub-cycle of the soul's reincarnations.

"Mazda brought to thee the star-studded, spirit-fashioned girdle, leading the Paurvas, or the good Mazdayasnian religion; then thou art begirt with it, (when growing) on the summit of the mountains, to make lasting the words and long accents of the sacred text." - Homa Yasht, HAUG, Essays.

The Divine Nature ordains that each soul shall go through the "wheels" of re-birth and gain experience through many lives, which process is to instruct the soul, and show it that by this means the love and truth latent within it (the good religion) shall be brought forth. As growth is arrived at, karma envelops the soul until it reaches the 'mountain stage, and aspires towards that which is to free it. The reference to "words and accents " made "lasting " signifies the means whereby the true message from within of the Divine is effectually translated into terms of the soul's experience. The "sacred text is the message of love and truth indelibly written within the human soul.
