Mocenigo / [satisfied at last] / Good! Now, tell me, Prior, / What is Rome’s greatest fear? What gives the Pope / More night-mares than bad sausage? / Prior Gabrielli / Heresy! / The rendering of the seamless robe of truth. / This rabble of mountebanks and maguses / Who shout reform, defile the Eucharist, / Flout all authority, elect false bishops, / Deny the Trinity and saving grace, / Abolish marriage, set their private minds / Against the long tradition of the Faith / And Peter’s dictates and the Holy Writ . . .

Thus Ahura Mazda may be analogous to the Christian Trinity (one God in three persons), except consisting of one God in seven Amesha Spentas. In any event, the doctrine of the Amesha Spentas should not be interpreted in any way that compromises Zoroaster′s monotheism, although it would eventually change in exactly that way after the passing of Zoroaster himself.

Thus whereas Bousset, for instance, regarded the Amesha Spentas of the Zoroastrian religion as a textbook example of the process by which concrete divine beings could be evaporated into abstract figures,² it is now recognized that the development ran, in fact, in the opposite direction, that is, from the personification of abstract concepts to concrete protecting spirits, while the ancient Persian gods were the object of Zoroaster′s fierce attack.³

1967, Walter Eichrodt, Theology of the Old Testament, page 195:

Each Amesha Spenta retains his or her⁵ individual nature and life which was given at their creation.[…]and it is an act he also accomplishes through the guardianship and identification that the Amesha Spentas have for and with the world.

1998, Peter Clark, Zoroastrianism: An Introduction to Ancient Faith, page 30:

Having created Asha,^([divine order]) Ahura Mazda was its first follower. He rules through His Divine Powers, the Amesha Spenta, the immortal Shining Ones, collectively known as the Haft Amshahspands, the Seven Amesha Spenta.

surf

اینکه موبدان و دستوران و ردان و هیربدان را نشاید که همه کس را پهلوی آموزند که زردشت از هورمزد پرسید که پهلوی آموختن مر کسان را شاید هورمزد به افزونی جواب داد که هر که از نسل تو باشد موبد و دستور و هیربدی که خردمند باشد. دیگر هیچ کس را نشاید جز از اینکه گفتهام اگر دیگران را آموزند او را عظیم گناه باشد اگر بسیار کار کرفه کرده باشد فرجام او را بدوزخ بود.

That the mowbeds and dasturs and rads and herbods [orders of Zoroastrian priests] must not let everybody learn Pahlavi, for Zoroaster asked Ahura Mazda whether learning Pahlavi was suitable for people, and Ahura Mazda answered extensively, "Everyone descended from you who are mowbeds and dasturs and herbods who are wise. Nobody else should [learn the Pahlavi language], except for those who I have mentioned. If it is taught to others, it is a great sin. [Even] if his good deeds are many, his end will be in Hell."

There are three kinds of xrafstars corresponding to three categories of animals: those that live in water, those that live on earth, and those that live in the air.

GBd 22 gives details of certain xrafstars, such as the silkworm and the honeybee, which 'Ohrmazd through omniscience diverts to the benefit of creatures' (my translation), just as he also makes the noxious creatures attack and kill their own species (GBd 22.29).
