The Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster

The Chaldean Oracles are a collection of ancient philosophical and religious texts attributed to Zoroaster the founder of Zoroastrianism and were not authored by William Wynn Westcott. William Wynn Westcott was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and one of the founding members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn an influential occult society. However he is not the original author of the Chaldean Oracles. The Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster are believed to have originated in the 2nd or 3rd century CE and consist of a series of cryptic verses or aphorisms. These verses were considered sacred and were used in divination and spiritual practices by various ancient philosophers and mystics. While William Wynn Westcott did write about the Chaldean Oracles and their interpretation he primarily focused on translating and elucidating these ancient texts rather than claiming authorship. His works on the subject such as The Chaldaean Oracles: Text Translation and Commentary aim to provide insights and explanations for the complex and often enigmatic verses contained within the Chaldean Oracles.
