M. Costa wrote that according to the Zoroastrian religion the triangle that points up symbolize Ahur Mazda, the God of goodness and light while the triangle that points down symbolize Ahriman, the God of Evel and darkness. Posing the first triangle over the second makes a hexagram that symbolizes the victory of good over evil, of light over darkness. ["Hatakh ha-zahav, hotam Shelomoh u-magen-David", Poalim, 1990 Hebrew, pp. 154]
