I-66 Tomberg’s portrayal of the human being’s encounters with the Cosmic Evil Trinity and the Cosmic Good Trinity

Anthroposophical Studies of the Old Testament, Chap. 5, Sec. 2

We have already encountered expressions of the domain of evil in charts I-22, I-27, I-28 and I-32. In this one, Tomberg speaks of “The Trinity of Cosmic Evil,” composed of Lucifer, Ahriman and the Azura (or Asura or Adzura), in the following descending order:
