| Zener Cards |
 These consisted of five designs (now generally described as
ESP symbols) being a plus sign, a square, a circle, a set of three wavy lines and a
five-pointed star. The symbols were printed in black ink, on cards similar in size to, and resembling, playing cards. Joseph Banks
Rhine (1895-1980), Professor of Psychology at Duke University in the USA, used Zener cards (designed in the early 1930s by a colleague,
perceptual psychologist Karl Zener) when conducting his experiments. |

| Zoroastrianism |
A religion of the Persian Empire founded by the
sage Zoraster c. 600 BC, Zoroastrianism is a system based on the concept of a struggle between a 'god of light' and a 'god of darkness'
who strive for influence over humanity. Zoroastrianism assumes adherents have free-will, and as such can choose between the god
of light and god of darkness. |
