The religion Equestrian ponies follow, called _*Artadaena_* or _*Mazdayasna_*, is very similar to our Zoroastrianism. in Artadaena, Friendship (_*Mithra_*) is one of their most important concepts, with their equivalent of Zoroaster being Clover the Clever (_*Ziragshabdar_*), and Star Swirl the Bearded (_*Setarasuvirles Balmeth_*) as their foremost reformer, centuries after the initial revelation. Hearth's Warming (_*Golxangarmdan_*), thus, is celebrated as a religious holiday. Winter Wrap-Up, there, is called _*Navasarda_*, and doubles as their new year's day.


 
The magic of the elements is said to be directly tied to the Amesha Spenta, and thus, to Ahura Mazda, and their bearers are known as _*Saoshyants_*, with five sets having existed; Ziragshabdar's set, a second set a few centuries later, which were the ones who first defeated Tirek, (although these first are acknowledged retroactively, since the elements didn't exist in a physical form then) the Pillars, Celestia and Luna, and in the present, the Mane Six.


 
However, that religion is mostly confined to pony nations, with non-pony nations still following their traditional religions, and in the west, it disputes space with a cult to Mithra that despite being derived from Equestrian traditions, has little relation to them in practice and the _*Azadaena_*, whose prophet was Mani, who lived during the reign of Shadokht I. In addition to that, thsome zebras in Kušiya and Aksum follow a offhsoot of the traditional religion of the donkeys of the Yehud region.
