Although this is primarily a “spiritual” website, it’s always interesting to reflect on what moves the world, “good” or “bad”. Over the last 24 hours, the term, 666 has been the prime mover.

The 6th day of the 6th month in the 6th year of the millennium was always touted as being the day when the “Beast” of the Book of Revelations would be born again. Mind you, nothing much happened in the last millennium, unless you include the Norman conquest 60 years later, so why now?

Well, the press had a field day. Even respected authors, like Colin Wilson, could be found writing sagely in a UK daily newspaper on the subject. Our own Supernatural blog had a tsunami of traffic to Deborah’s post: 666 Around the World.

So, has the Devil’s spawn been let loose into the world again? Who says he’s ever been away?
