Nostradamus' prophecies have remained famous since his death, and with their often difficult to comprehend references, have been brought up when any major event happens, including September 11th, 2001. And such a light and small flame is of great efficacy and scope, and nothing less than the clarity of nature itself.

Between about 1547 and 1555, he reportedly dictated 942 poetic, prophetic quatrains to his secretary while high on nutmeg, which causes hallucinations when taken in large doses. His remark that “man will be eating man” because “the bushel of wheat will become so high”, for example, is being seen as a reference to the calamitous effects of the interruption to Ukrainian grain exports, although its supposed corollary, the rise of cannibalism, seems a bit far-fetched.His prophecies have been in continuous print since his death on the 1st July 1566, an event that he accurately foretold on the night before it happened. Though Catholic, he later traded on his Jewish ancestry by saying his natural instinct for prophecy was “inherited from my forebears”. Paul, which in the time of Paganism was de∣dicated to Diana, meant here by the title of an antient Dame, the fall from her high place, hath relation both to the sumptuousness and height of her building, as also to her situation, which is in the most eminent place of the City. I had to skip some parts however when the wording was written in a complex way but overall 5 stars for the entertainment it gave me while reading as much as I could!

Mario Reading has established a reputation as an original and ground-breaking expert on Nostradamus. Mind you, given that the prediction was made a day before he died, and that he was almost bedridden with arthritis, dropsy and arteriosclerosis, perhaps this was not so much a symptom of his prophetic genius as a statement of the obvious. And it can happen that the prophet bringing about the perfect light of prophecy may make manifest things both human and divine, because this cannot be done otherwise, given that the effects of predicting the future extend far off into time.

And the fact that Nostradamus was unable (or unwilling) to make exact predictions about precise dates means that his writings will be dismissed out of hand by many. Many experts believe the soaring inflation, fuel costs, and general economic tumult will continue to get worse before they get better, and Nostradamus seems to concur.

Whether you’re a believer or a sceptic, there’s no denying that there have been eerie correlations between the predictions of Nostradamus, and major historical events.En fait on va tous crever dans dans guerres de territoire et de religion ou bien etre forcés a se convertir à la religion qui va gouverner le monde d ici la fin de ce siecle. Reading is the author of six novels - the internationally bestselling Antichrist Trilogy (more than a million copies sold in 38 countries), which comprises The Nostradamus Prophecies, The Mayan Codex, and The Third Antichrist, and also The Music-Makers, a stand alone love story set in contemporary Cornwall and France and also touching on the May 1968 riots in Paris. His startling discovery of Nostradamus's dating system allows him to date the prophecies, and his translation and insightful interpretations reveal extraordinary and sometimes shocking predictions for the future.

Whether a small meteor shower or a catastrophic extinction-level event, Nostradamus referred to “Fire do I see that from the sky shall fall”. Emperour, who sacked Rome, took the Pope Prisoner, and filled it with more horror and slaughter than Hannibal did, though a Heathen. Today interest has never been higher, with claims that he foretold recent events and fears that even worse is to come. was not only Emperour, but also King of Spain, the chief Province of which is Castilia: therefore the Author describeth here the misery and devastation of Campania di Roma, by the Castilian, who left nothing in the ground, but Garlick, which is their most delicate food, and nothing Green but the Trees.Nostradamus, or Michel de Nostredame, was a physician and astrologer during the time of the Black Death. The Vulgar impression putteth in the fourth Verse, Pan, Tyber, in stead of Arne, Tyber, which is a visible fault; for the History mentioneth only the inundation of those two Rivers in Italy, it may be that the likeness of those words, Pau and Arne, is the cause of the mistake; as also because the name of Pau, which is the biggest Ri∣ver in Italy, is more famous in History than that of Arne, which is the River that passeth through Florence. Nostradamus points out that Pope Francis will leave his place because of his advanced age and in his place will come an obscure and dangerous person who will cause a scandal. A third major prediction for 2023 points out that a man and a woman will work together to create a new society that will result in a common good. I did never find that word of Glue-head before in any Author, and I believe if Cotgrave were alive again, it would puzzle him to give the interpretation thereof.
