Full Transcript for Discovering 666: My Journey into the Truth Behind the Number of the Beast

00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:58.399 All week. 00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.600 I've been thinking about it. 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.399 You you probably are sitting there thinking, what the fuck? 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.199 Yeah, right. 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.759 But truly, I've thought about this episode so much. 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.759 Not just this week, but I've been thinking about this topic for a long time. 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.759 Like, I mean a long time. 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.519 I mean longer than I've ever had a podcast. 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:20.399 Long time. 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.079 I've always thought about this. 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:27.920 Like, why is a simple number, a number, such a bad thing? 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.600 Just like, uh, oh, and I love these guys. 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:32.480 I truly do. 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.480 I think they're the world of them. 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.319 I really enjoy watching them. 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:46.000 But sometimes there's certain ghost hunters, quote unquote, that are on YouTube that see a pentagram and they flip out. 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.120 They flip out. 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:48.720 It's like, what the hell? 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.519 Or anything witchcrafty, they flip out. 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.079 Why? 00:05:52.399 --> 00:06:07.199 Because not they they use the narrative that everything and everyone who's ever done or been around witchcraft are evil and and doing it for evil things, and that's fucking not true. 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.399 I wish they would shut the fuck up. 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.480 I'm telling you, I really do. 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:18.720 Because pentagram is not in intently, it's not itself evil. 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.000 It's what evil people use it for. 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:35.839 It's somebody who's so fucked up in the head, who's doing black magic, which I do not do, but I mean I know it is it exists out there, just like evil in itself exists out there. 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:46.560 Um, but they go and they do their black magic shit, they do their sacrifice shit, which again I do not believe in, um, associate it and use pentagrams with it. 00:06:46.720 --> 00:07:02.000 Just like when somebody is evil, like truly evil, I mean serial killer, killing people and doing really crazy torture shit, and they're tattooed with 666, and they're like, the number of the beast. 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.120 What the fuck? 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:10.160 You're just perpetuating the evil that people believe in, and it's not true. 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:11.519 I have to say that. 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.399 I strongly believe that's not true. 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.480 Now, where did 666 actually come from? 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.000 Where does it start? 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:27.120 I am not a true uh I don't know, I'm not a a devout Catholic. 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.800 I I don't dive in. 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.519 Did I ever read the Bible uh in parts? 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.519 Did I ever read it cover to cover? 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.360 Nah, no, no. 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:36.079 Why? 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:43.759 Because the print is like so fucking tiny and it's most of it is so fucking boring that no, I didn't read it. 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.879 But to be fair, have I read any books? 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:53.759 Not the Bible, but I've read like novels, help self-help books, things I'm interested in. 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:55.839 I'm not interested in the Bible, apparently. 00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:07.279 So I when I looked up this information, I was not shocked, but yet kind of shocked, because I always thought 666 stemmed from heavy metal and movies and shit. 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.759 No, no, it goes back a little further than that. 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:14.160 Well, it goes back to Bible times, biblical times, so to speak. 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:29.120 So apparently the number 666 comes from the New Testament's book of Revelation in chapter 13, verse 18, where it is called the number of the beast, or the number of a person. 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:30.800 Let me clarify that. 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:42.480 The number of a be of the beast is also in like parallel to as the same thing as the number of a person. 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:53.600 So it is not saying the number of the beast in this is the number of the devil and Satan and Lucifer and all these like whatever names you want to give that, you know. 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:57.440 It's saying uh it's a number of a person. 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.919 Person to me is human, a human being, not a demon, a human. 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:03.120 So let's read on. 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.240 Let's see what this says. 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.159 Biblical and historical meaning. 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:15.919 So the book of Revelation, the text changes the reader with understanding to calculate the number, uh, stating it totals 666. 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:28.960 Then the number 666 was historically associated to Julius Caesar, to Emperor Nero, which is um Caesar. 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:30.799 I I'm right on that, right? 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.240 Please tell me I'm right. 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.480 Otherwise, I just made that up. 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.000 I am sure I read that, but I'm not seeing it in my notes. 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.720 Oh my god, did I just make that up, guys? 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.919 Let me let me look, let me look, let me look, because I don't want to give you bad information. 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.559 Uh am looking, uh am looking. 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.600 Okay, Nero Caesar, not Julius Nero. 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:52.480 Okay. 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.120 Oh my god, I I knew I read Caesar somewhere. 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.120 For goodness sakes, Jai. 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:06.159 Okay, so uh scholars agree that 666 was a

secret code using Gem Gematra? 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.799 Ooh, I think I got that wrong. 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:15.360 Gemetra, Gemetra, uh where letters have numerical numerical values. 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:31.840 For the Roman Empi Emperor, Nero, who severely prosecuted early Christians, spelling his name differently, yields 616, some ancient manuscripts, which matches another variation of the code for Nero. 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:45.360 So in symbolism and and we'll I think I have more notes down below on Caesar, Nero Caesar, and we might dive in a little bit further into that because I'm pretty sure, like I said, I'm pretty sure I I have that. 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.799 Anyway, let's keep going. 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.039 Symbolism and imperfection. 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:56.559 In biblical numerology, the number seven represents divine protection or completeness. 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:09.519 Repeating the number six as six six six, for example, falls short of seven on every level, symbolizing ultimate human failure, sin, or falling short of God. 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.840 Well, I mean, if you want to take it there, in numerology, seven is not perfection. 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.240 So like oh my goodness. 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.840 Seven is not perfect in any stretch in numerology. 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:30.159 The number seven, I see where they're saying this, I see how they're saying this, I see how people have come to the whole like whatever. 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.559 I see where this is going and coming from, but I just don't buy it. 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.399 Like it doesn't resonate with me. 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.039 I don't feel that deep in in my soul. 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:48.960 And for me, anything spiritual, anything to do with witchcraft, anything to do with who I am as a person, if I don't feel it, then it is not true. 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:50.159 At least for me. 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.879 And I'm I can only give you my experience. 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.480 That's this whole podcast. 00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:00.480 You are on a spiritual journey with me, through spirits, through witchcraft, demons, through all of it. 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:11.519 And I started with my story, and I've moved on to other other things, other uh topics, some ghost stories here and there, some guests sprinkled in. 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.559 But the whole main concept of why I started this podcast was because I had something inside I wanted to express. 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.399 And whether anybody listens on the other end, and I know you do, so hello, hi, thank you. 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:35.440 Um, it doesn't really matter, although because some of you are tuning in weekly, I do want to say I appreciate you and I see, but that's not why I started. 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:54.240 I started it because I had something inside I wanted to express, and I put it out on the interwebs, out on the Googles, on the on

the Spotifies, on the Apple Podcasts, on the wherever you listen, because not because I wanted to gain a huge following and earn multi-million dollars. 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.399 That wasn't my main objective. 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.440 My main objective was if I'm feeling this, somebody else must be feeling it too. 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.120 Because we all live a human experience together. 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.440 So, oh my god, did that make sense? 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:08.960 Fuck, I hope that makes sense. 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:09.759 That rant. 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.240 I told you, I knew I'd go on a dick today. 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.519 I felt it coming. 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.360 Okay, let's see. 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.360 Oh, rubbing my hands together, clapping my hands together. 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:30.960 There's so like uh before I go any further with the data I collected, quote unquote, because trust me, it's not that detailed as far as like I'm I'm not going scientific on your ass. 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:31.679 I'm not. 00:13:31.840 --> 00:14:20.559 But before I dive in deeper to my notation, I do want to say I started this whole uh subject on 666, why I talk about the pentagram, why I talk about witchcraft in general, why I talk about spells, why I talk about any of the witchy stuff at all, is because I honestly do believe deep deep in my core being that satanic panic, Christianity, the Catholic Church, and all kinds of media sources out there have completely taken something that was pure, something that was honorable, something that was so personal to people, I'm getting emotional, so personal to people like me, from back in medieval times, even, or probably earlier than that. 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.080 My brain only goes back to medieval, 12th, 13th century is how far back I can feel. 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:34.879 Um, but they take that and they turn it into this this dirty, evil, terrible little thing. 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:53.279 And now it's a terrible, big, beautiful thing that has garnered so much attention in the world that everybody out there thinks pentagrams, pentacles, the one with the circle around the pentagram, and the number 666 are absolutely devilish. 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:59.279 You worship the devil if you have any of these, if you say these, if you have these, if you wear these, oh my goodness. 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:07.120 So I feel so connected to my Celtic roots and my and the paganism that it hurts my soul. 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:08.159 It really does. 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:18.879 Anytime I'm watching a ghost hunting youth video and they go into a dark, creepy basement and there's a pentagram, they're like, Oh my god, there's a pentagram and a witchcraft and they conjured something here. 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.440 Could somebody have done that using a pentagram? 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:22.639 Yeah, probably. 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.000 I'm not gonna deny that. 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.120 They probably could. 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:30.879 Because you can use pentagrams are not evil, but can you use them for evil? 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:31.519 Sure. 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.039 Is a crucifix at its core evil? 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:35.919 Hell no. 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:36.879 It's not. 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.840 It it's it's a cross with a man on it. 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:42.080 But can you use it for evil? 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:42.960 Probably. 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.480 Do you see what I'm saying here? 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:48.559 Like, it doesn't have to be that it was born to be evil. 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:59.279 Many things that are born of this world and made by a human being and interpreted by human beings, can be done so in many different forms. 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:07.759 What was made, okay, this is a bad metaphor analogy, but a baby is not born evil. 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:14.000 It is made that person like a child is not born to this world with evil intent. 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:26.960 Now, uh this is a total tangent because I don't want somebody out there saying, but you can have like be born with a off chromosome or something and have like something fucked up in your head and be totally evil. 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:27.679 Sure. 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:29.759 Maybe the one off can be. 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.840 Like, yes, can that happen? 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:32.480 Maybe. 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:33.519 Is it rare? 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.480 Oh, probably more than we understand. 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.960 Do all evil people start out that way? 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.039 Hell no!

beasts per uh US Catholic is 666 in the Bible. 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:41.119 Well, duh, we just said that. 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.920 And the whole issue goes back to the New Testament. 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:45.759 Okay, so at least I got that part. 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:48.720 Um, where does the number 666 come from? 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.119 I know it's in the book, okay. 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.519 Narrow is 666. 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.759 Many New Testament historians, this is all from Pedia and Quora and stuff like that. 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:09.759 Um, many historians, uh no, many New Testament historians and scholars interpret the number 666 in the book of Revelation as the code coded reference to the devil, evil. 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:15.920 Um, so I wanted to know, like, tell like give me more of a snapshot. 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:22.160 Tell me more about this, but I want it in like, and I use the term cliff notes. 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.680 Does anybody know what that means? 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.640 I would say the reader's digest version. 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:31.759 Um, but I'm Canadian, so I don't know if that resonates with anybody else out there. 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:37.279 But the reader's digest version, the cliff notes version of what the fuck does this all mean, right? 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:57.680 So here's what I came up with the original biblical context, the text, uh, the author of Revelation, John of Patmos, Patmus, writes, Let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person, and its number is 666. 00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:58.400 Okay. 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:04.640 The clue, the word calculate is a direct hint to the use of germatria. 00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:05.839 Germatria? 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.359 Did I say that right this? 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:20.319 An ancient practice where letters of the alphabet correspond to numerical values, and we understand, at least I understand, like numerical values and letters for Roman numerals. 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:31.440 So L equals 50, um, a V is five, an I is one, an M, I think is a thousand, a C is a hundred, I think. 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:32.160 I don't know. 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:37.839 I didn't really look that up, but I think that that's what some of the numerical letters mean. 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.160 So I can understand how this was calculated, kind of. 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:42.720 Okay. 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:57.839 The target early Christians, this code to secretly identify their asperit uh oppressors, to secretly identify their oppressors without getting executed for treason by Roman authorities. 00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:59.599 Can we break that down a little bit? 00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:06.400 Because that sounds a whole lot of using something in not the way it was intended. 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:12.640 So they use the germatria, gematria, I think I said that wrong. 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:18.640 I don't know, uh, code using that system identified their their oppressor. 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:19.119 Okay. 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.400 Well, use a lot of things to a lot of things, you know. 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.839 Nero Caesar, the Nero Caesar connection. 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.839 So this is where I got to see the target. 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:41.279 The vast majority of modern historians and biblical scholars agree that 666 refers to Emperor Nero, Nero Caesar, the first Roman Emperor to brutally prosecute an execute Christian. 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:42.400 The calculation. 00:20:42.640 --> 00:21:00.240 When the Greek name Neron Caesar uh is translated into the Hebrew alphabet, and I'm just going to spell this out, N-R-O-W-N, Q S R, the numerical values of the letters adds up exactly to 666. 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:08.799 The 616 alternate, some ancient fragments of Revelation, like oh, I'm not even going to pronounce that. 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:11.839 List the numbers, list the number as 616. 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:32.160 This variation actually proves that the narrow theory, if you calculate the Latin spelling of the name Narrow Caesar using Hebrew gematria, it drops the letter N value of 50, bringing it to a uh bringing the total perfectly to 616. 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:35.200 Okie dokie, we will just, yep. 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:36.640 Okay, agree. 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.240 I have no idea, guys. 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:39.599 No fucking idea. 00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:47.519 Numerical and symbolic meanings, the numerical imperfection, the ancient Hebrew numerology, seven represents divine. 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.200 Okay, that's where they got that. 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:57.599 Okay, I knew that wasn't making sense in my own brain because numerology that I understand is not ancient Hebrew numerology. 00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.599 So that that kind of tracks there. 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.039 Okay, I get that. 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:07.279 Ancient Hebrew numerology, seven represents divine protect uh perfection, completeness, and God. 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.279 Triple failure, the number six falls short of divine protection. 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.759 Per protection, I keep saying protection. 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:15.680 Divine perfection. 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:26.799 Repeating the it three times, six, six, six, represents ultimate human failure, complete imperfection, and a system or person completely disconnected from God. 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.839 Or as my angel number said, reflection. 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:31.839 Nothing nothing is perfect. 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:39.599 The imperial cult, the beast, quote unquote, is also interpreted as a symbol for the entire Roman Empire. 00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:48.960 That can get be I can also get behind the fact that 666 666 the beast could be the whole Christianity. 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:50.480 But anyway, I digress. 00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.680 And

its economy. 00:22:51.759 --> 00:23:02.319 So the Roman Empire and its economy, which forced citizens to burn incense to the emperor as a good as a god to buy or sell goods. 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:06.400 Here's where we shift it, guys. 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:19.680 So the medieval shift over centuries, as the Roman Empire fell and he Hebrew Gematria was forgotten by the general public, the number lost its historical content. 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:20.559 Context. 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:25.359 It became associated with a literal future antichrist figure. 00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:31.440 Okay, I had to break this next word down, guys, and I mean break it the fuck down. 00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:35.279 Because you know your girl was probably gonna mess this up. 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.759 It's about 20,000 letters long. 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.279 So it is hexokisoi. 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.480 Hexokisoi. 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:46.319 Oh my god, I can't. 00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:54.240 Hexoconta to hexocontax hexaphobia. 00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.480 Hexophobia. 00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:59.279 Okay, so let's see if we can get that all together. 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:06.720 Hexokosioi Hexoconta Hexophobia. 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:08.079 That's a big one. 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.680 That is one of the biggest words I've ever said on this podcast. 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:12.720 So what is it? 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:17.839 It's the official medical term for the fear of the number 666. 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:28.799 The cultural phenomena heavily amplified by modern pop culture, horror movies like The Omen, and a pop apocalyptic fiction. 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:29.359 Okay. 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:34.960 So the number 666 does come from the New Testament's book of Revelation. 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:36.480 And okay. 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:37.359 Sorry. 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.799 Looks like my my notes duplicated themselves. 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:42.319 God, how did that happen? 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:44.319 Eee! Yeah, seriously, how did that happen? 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:45.119 We have the notes. 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:45.759 Uh-oh. 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.599 I might have to pause you guys and go find them because they're not there. 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:50.559 Okay, hold on. 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:52.079 Oh my goodness. 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:54.880 Okay, I thought I lost it, but I guess just hidden in there. 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:55.759 I found it. 00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:02.079 Okay, these are my notes on where I thought 666 originated. 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:12.319 This is my personal like memory of where this number happened, but I also was born in the sub in the 70s, so it was definitely music for me. 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:18.000 So the adoption of 666 in rock music did not start with heavy metal in the 80s. 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.200 That's when I remember. 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:32.799 Instead, it emerged out of the late 1960s, counterculture, and psych rock movement, transitioning from literal occult worship to high concept of progressive art. 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:39.839 Their origin story of 666 and rock relies on three distinct evolutionary milestones. 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:45.680 The first was with the literal, occult roots and coven in 69. 00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:58.319 This first rock band to explicitly weaponize the number 666 and satanic imagery was an American psychedelic rock band called Coven. 00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:06.960 The album in 1969, they released their debut album, Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls. 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:07.839 The imagery. 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:18.160 It was a gatefold vinyl layout, featured a full satanic black mask, complete with the number 666. 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.400 The Legacy, led by singer Jinx Don Dawson. 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.119 Coven pioneered the dark aesthetic later adopted by Metal. 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:38.880 They also credited, they are also credited with introducing the um quote unquote sign of the horn, devil horn, hand gesture to rock culture. 00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:42.000 And if y'all know what it is, you all know what it is. 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:49.119 Number two is the Avant Guard masterpiece, Aphrodite's Child, 1972. 00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:58.000 While Coven used the number to uh for shock value, the Greek progressive rock band turned it into high art. 00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.799 The mas sorry, that came out of nowhere. 00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:02.640 And so did that. 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:04.480 I don't know where that came from. 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.200 Deep within my 666, I think. 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.480 Pardon me. 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:10.240 Okay, are we back now? 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.559 We got the yawns out and the the uh coughs and everything. 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:16.240 Let's let's m okay. 00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:18.240 So I gotta fix my glossy. 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:19.440 The mastermind. 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.720 The keyboardist, oh can I say your name? 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:24.400 Okay, so I'm not gonna pronounce this. 00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:25.759 I think we're gonna try. 00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:26.559 You can look it up. 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.119 Aphrodite's Child, 1978. 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:36.960 The keyboardist who would later become globally famous as an electric electronic film composer, Vangelis. 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:47.680 Okay, so he has a much longer name, probably a Greek name, I'm gonna assume, but he was later known as Vangel, creator of Blade Runner Score. 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:50.079 Ooh, I liked the Blade Runner Score. 00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:51.680 Anyway, led the project. 00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.119 So he led the project. 00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:02.160 The concept in June 1972, his band, Aphrodite's Child, released a debut concept album simply titled 666. 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:08.559 The record was widely ambitious,

psychedelic retelling of the biblical book of Revelation. 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:10.880 That actually sounds really good, actually. 00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:12.640 Love psychedelic rock. 00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:14.160 Okay, the controversy. 00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:22.880 The album's sleeve predominant prom it really featured Girl, you wouldn't know I went to school. 00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.920 It really featured the number 666 on a stark red background. 00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:41.920 Mercury Records initially released it due to its perceived demonic nature and an incredibly intense avant-garde vocal performance by Greek actress Irene Papas. 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:42.559 Papas? 00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:43.359 Papas? 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:45.279 I'm probably butchering that. 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:53.440 That's sim simulated, simulated a manic okay, apocalyptic, thank you, possession. 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:58.240 It's now widely revered revered as a progressive rock masterpiece. 00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:59.039 Number three. 00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:00.000 This is what Irene. 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.039 This is my my uh childhood. 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.319 The heavy metal explosion, Iron Maiden 1980. 00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:17.519 The number officially shifted from an underground counterculture gimmick into a mainstream global phenomenon a decade decade later. 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:18.559 The Spark. 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:31.519 After watching the horror movie Damon, uh Omen 2, bassist Steve Harris of British band Iron Maiden had a vivid, terrifying nightmare. 00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.240 The anthem. 00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:47.920 That nightmare inspired their landmark 1982 heavy metal heavy metal album and title track, The Number of the Beast, opening with a dramatic spoken word reading of the Revelation 13. 00:29:48.240 --> 00:30:11.920 The song cemented 666 as heavy metal's ultimate symbol of anti-authority authoritarian rebellion and dark theatric and dark word theatricity theatric okay theatrics you guys just tune in to hear me not pronounce words correctly, right?

00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:26.799 Go for it. 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:27.680 Go for it. 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.799 Have at her. 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.759 Um, yeah, so that's the bulk of the information. 00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:35.920 And again, you know me. 00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:43.200 If you've listened for any amount of time, for any amount of episodes, you know I'm not going to give you a history lesson. 00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:44.720 This is not school, guys. 00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:46.000 I'm not gonna test you. 00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:52.960 We're not gonna dive so deep that I have to go and research for decades because I got too much fucking shit to do. 00:30:53.119 --> 00:31:07.599 I just wanted to give you a snapshot because when I say I don't feel right inside about claiming it as a demonic number, the number of the beast, the number of the devil, that doesn't feel good in my soul. 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:09.839 There are reasons what are my reasons? 00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.799 My reasons are it's a fucking made up number. 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:21.680 It was put in uh and used just like if I said, well, my okay, actually, here's a good, really good analogy. 00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.960 Here's a really good example. 00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.720 My birth number, you know how everybody has like numerology. 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.319 Everybody has a birth number, a soul number, or this number, or that number. 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:32.559 Well, my birth number is nine. 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:46.799 If I had a really bad childhood, I didn't, but if I had a really bad childhood, I grew up like really struggling for all the necessities of life, shelter, food, uh, safety, those kinds of things. 00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:58.000 And I truly believed in how the number affected, then I might believe that that number was evil, or that number was bad luck, or that number meant something. 00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:04.160 When really that number, um, if we want to go there, that number is finality. 00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:04.720 Okay. 00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.960 So nine is like the last of the numbers. 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.599 Once you hit 10, you actually revert back to one. 00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:20.799 So you go one through nine, and nine is I've done everything, I've experienced everything, I've gotten all my lessons, so to say. 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:25.200 So I'm at the last of my numbers, and that's okay. 00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:26.799 That's all I need it to be. 00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:31.759 When I moved into the house I currently live in, I knew it would be the last house I live in. 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:32.319 Why? 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:34.640 Because the numbers to my house add up to a nine. 00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.599 It's that simple. 00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:37.519 It's really that simple. 00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:41.200 Um, the house I grew up in, it was a six, right? 00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:45.039 It wasn't six, six, six, but even if it was, I wouldn't care. 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.480 But it added up to a s and it was fine. 00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:51.920 You know, it it it caused me to reflect a lot. 00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:55.279 It caused me to readjust my life and repurpose myself. 00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:04.000 There's a lot of things that happened in that house that caused me to grow in different ways and and understand things and maybe become the person I am now. 00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:05.599 Um, and that's fine. 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:12.799 Um I don't want to put a

whole lot of emphasis and absolute on a number. 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.599 I think this is just my opinion. 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:18.720 Okay, so take it for whatever you want to take it as. 00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:22.799 But my opinion is let's use the conjunction with this. 00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:23.920 You know what I mean? 00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:36.880 So let's use numerology with astrology, with tarot, with intuition, with all of these things combined together to form an actual picture. 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:51.359 Instead of saying this one thing is innately only ever this, if we always think that that is all that could ever be, then how does that help our understanding of everything happening? 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:52.079 It doesn't. 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:52.960 That's my point. 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:53.839 It doesn't. 00:33:54.000 --> 00:34:11.840 So if I always thought, oh, 666 is an evil number, it's the number of the bees, that's what was in the Bible, that's what you know was always known from the dawn of Christianity, from the dawn of time, and then I pull my my angel number and I get six. 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:13.119 How dare I? 00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:19.199 How dare I pull an angel number, suppose it angel number, and it be six. 00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:22.800 It must be Lucifer, the fallen angel, right? 00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:24.960 But no, no, it's not. 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:28.000 I'm gonna take a picture actually and put that on my Instagram. 00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:30.480 If you're not following, make sure you follow Instagram. 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.079 If you're not following the podcast wherever you're listening, why? 00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:34.800 Why are you not? 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:35.679 Let's follow. 00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:44.159 Let's let's build this community together so we can have uh well, I was gonna say community and discussion, but you fucking don't talk to me. 00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:52.960 So I'm I'm just sitting here talking to myself all the time, every week, just with my silly old water and my coffee, just talking to myself. 00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:54.239 That's all I'm ever doing. 00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:55.920 I'm waiting for you guys to talk back. 00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:58.639 Are you come on me an email? 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:00.159 Post something. 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:01.440 Give me something. 00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:03.440 Tell me a story's sake. 00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:05.039 Don't leave me hanging here. 00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:08.159 Anyway, guys, I guess that's all I have for the week. 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:14.079 I don't want to go full on rant and bore the shit out of ya, but you know how I feel. 00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:19.679 Pentagram, the pentagram, oh my god, the pentagram, why do you think it's so fucking evil? 00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:20.880 Come on. 00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:22.159 Come on. 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.239 The pentagram and the pentacle. 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:25.440 Like
