Next Tuesday night, Iranians will set Iran on fire. It is called Chaharshanbehsoori چهارشنبه سوری. Since the times when Iranians prayed to the stars, the last week of the astrological year, was a moment to cleanse their spirit of fear.

Yes Iranians, will literally burn out their fear. Every Iranian, all 85 million of us, will make fires and jump over them. Massive blazing fires, will light up Iran. Fire crackers and explosives, will shake out every tiny bits of fear, in every Iranian. It will shake Iran.

The fire will energise Iranians.
The fire will inspire Iranians.

Every Iranian, will say one of the oldest mantras, as they jump over every fire.

Zardieh man az to
Sorkhieh to az man

It means, I release my yellow fear, and you give me your fearless red fire. The fire will clean their spirit and aura. Iranians need to clean themselves and their homes, ready for the newness, that will come from the beginning of spring. It is a spiritual revival.

Iranians’ ancient belief system predates all. Our land was the first to have human settlements, when humans left Africa. In the south of Iran, oil comes out of the ground naturally. Everlasting fire temples thousands of years old exist. The Zagros mountains would catch fire in Azerbaijan province, which literally means Land of Fires.

Fire is an eternal part of human civilization. The oldest fire temples are in Iran. Iranians face the light of truth. Later, much younger faiths followed.

Iran has to burn out this horrid vulgar stench, that has covered our land. It is time. The planetary alignments will energise the people, throughout this Spring Festival beginning on 20 March. All of Iran, and surrounding countries, some 200 million in all, will stand at the exact moment of the Spring Vernal Equinox.

From an Astrological point of view, it respects the identity of Iranians, as it starts in Aries or Farvardin. Ahuramazdans viewed it as an existential moment. It is being Alive! It is the Ego. The seed. It is the Rite of Spring. It is Action!

But nowadays, Iranians proudly regard it as the most accurate calendar in the world. Nothing, is so well adhered to in the world, in such large numbers. The celebration will continue for two weeks, culminating in the largest picnic in the world, called Sizdehbedar.

All 85 million people, will peacefully gather, to celebrate the beginning of the new year. This is not a protest. This is joy. If the world media, wants to see where the Iranian fire and heart is, they will see it here.

Iranians are first and foremost most lovers of mother nature. They respect the four elements that make nature. Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. Then comes humans, plants and animals. It is called Haftseen. It is named after the original names given to the seven Archangels or Amesha Sepantas, in what I call Ahuramazdans – the followers of Ahuramazda. Haftseen means seven S’s. The S comes from Sepanta. It just shows, how much the original word has been eroded, over millennia, but it still survives in the Iranian heart and spirit.

In the Haftseen you will see all Iranians, prepare a special small replica of the seven forces, and arrange them with photos of their loved ones. They will plant wheat in a dish, called Sabzeh, and watch it grow. The higher the luckier.

On the 13th day of Spring, called Sizdehbedar, every ones throws the wheat in the river, as they tie a knot in the fresh grass, for love, in the largest picnic in the world. It is a celebration of universal love with nature. We show our love to mother Earth, and celebrate its birthday, with it in its fresh pastures.

As you can see, this ceremony is what has bonded Iranians from the beginning of time. Nothing has stopped this. It purifies and cleans the air, of all its stench, with the fire of the Iranians, and prepares the land for the new year ahead. It has done so for thousands of years, no matter who ruled Iran. It is called Knowrooz, as I spell it, which is the first new day of the new year. Happy Knowrooz
