Vohu Manah, the Zoroastrian emanation of Ahura Mazda representing good thought.

Zurvan, Ahriman, and Ohrmazd, the gods of Zoroastrianism.

Zurvan, the god of infinite time, declared that his firstborn child would rule the universe. This was meant to be Ohrmazd, the god of good, but Ahriman, the god of evil, preempted him by tearing open Zurvan’s womb. 

Thus, Ahriman was granted temporary rulership over the cosmos, after which Ohrmazd would rule. It is said that we are in the period of Ahriman’s rule.

In ancient Iran we believed in dualism or polarity, not heaven and hell. There is something and nothing or Ohrmazd and Ahriman. All Good is Ahuramazda.
