From the editor : In our materialistic and skeptical age, some people find it difficult to take seriously the existence of real spiritual beings. Nevertheless, countless individuals - from the founders of religions to those who have been through near death experiences have confirmed the reality of such entities from their direct personal experience. Such people have spoken of beings of Light, such as Angels and Archangels, and 'evil' beings, spirits of darkness.

From his own seership, Rudolf Steiner described the varied forces of evil in our time, and their principal opponent, the Archangel Michael. Basing his work on Steiner's teachings, the author presents an epic picture of the forces of 'good' and 'evil' - a battle of cosmic dimensions in which we are all intimately involved. He clarifies the pivotal role of the Archangel Michael, the 'Guardian of Cosmic Intelligence', who fights to hold the balance between the key powers of evil in our time - Lucifer and Ahriman - and describes other members of the evil hierarchies, the Sun Demon and the Asuras. He also discusses the biblical Apocalypse of St. John, the Mexican Mysteries, the Templars, the physical incarnation on earth of Ahriman, the Eighth Sphere, the human 'Double', and much else.
