Barbara Burbles;
Nah. Zoroastrains are duotheists with equal but opposite gods of good and
evil. These folk sound more like early jewish monotheists with one supreme
god to who created all spiritual beings (even the evil ones) and to whom all
are subordiante. (see: Ancient Isreal [vol. 1], by Angelo S Rappoport - it's
a really good read about how spirits, demons, angels, Elohim, etc were
intigrated - or should that be rationalised - into a monotheistic world
view; highly recommended).

Bye the way Jörg, I really loved the culture post ;-)
Go Albic!
Ra, Ra, Raaaaa!

I think that I might post about my "elves" one day now ;-)
