The '''[[Cup of Jamshid]]''' is a cup of [[divination]], which in Persian mythology was long possessed by the rulers of ancient Greater Iran. Its name is associated with Jamshid, a mythological figure of Greater Iranian culture and tradition. Its power and function are somewhat similar to [[Christianity|Christian]] legends surrounding the Holy Grail.
'''[[Paganism]]''' is a term first used in the fourth century by early [[Christianity|Christians]] for people in the Roman Empire who practiced polytheism or ethnic religions other than [[Judaism]]. The overarching contemporary pagan revival movement which focuses on nature-revering/living, pre-Christian religions and/or other nature-based spiritual paths, and frequently incorporating contemporary liberal values. This definition may include groups such as [[Wicca]], Neo-Druidism, Heathenry, and Slavic Native Faith.


The cup was said to be filled with an elixir of immortality and was used in [[scrying]]. All seven heavens of the universe could be observed by looking into it. The cup was called "The World-Revealing Goblet" in the Persian source texts. The whole world was said to be reflected in it, and divinations within the cup would reveal deep truths. Sometimes, especially in popular depictions such as ''The Heroic Legend of Arslan'', the cup has been visualized as a [[crystal ball]].
