Nostradamus: Complete Prophecies for the Future: The Complete Prophecies for The Future (Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller)

Product Information

Over the next several years, Nostradamus traveled throughout France and Italy, treating victims of the plague. There was no known remedy at the time; most doctors relied on potions made of mercury, the practice of bloodletting and dressing patients in garlic-soaked robes. Prince Charles will be seventy-four years old in 2022, when he takes over the throne, but the resentments held against him by a certain proportion of the British population, following his divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales, still persist.

Nostradamus claimed to base his published predictions on judicial astrology—the art of forecasting future events by calculation of the planets and stellar bodies in relationship to the earth. His sources include passages from classical historians like Plutarch as well as medieval chroniclers from whom he seems to have borrowed liberally. On September 16, video creator Michael Summers shared a video on Facebook, which claimed that Nostradamus foresaw the death of the Queen. Furthermore, the prophecy mentioned by Reading was featured in the final of the 10 Centuries, which matches up neither to the chronological framing of the Prophecies (if the count begins from his time of writing, mid-XVI century, then verse X.22 would represent the XXV real-life century); nor to year 3797, proclaimed as the final year of the prophecies by the author himself in the preface. It's just horrible what some "Nostradamus experts" do to the poor seer's quatrains. You don't have to look far into Reading's interpretations. Just two examples from the first few "interpreted" quatrains for this review:

There is no doubt this is a really interesting book to read but I am sitting on the fence with this one.

In time, Nostradamus found himself somewhat of a local celebrity for his treatments and received financial support from many of the citizens of Provence. 1n 1531, he was invited to work with a leading scholar of the time, Jules-Cesar Scaliger in Agen, in southwestern France. Featuring updated author commentaries, this is an internationally bestselling selection of the famous seer’s most relevant prophecies In 1556, while serving in this capacity, Nostradamus explained another prophecy from Centuries I, which was assumed to refer to King Henri. The prophecy told of a “young lion” who would overcome an older one on the field of battle. The young lion would pierce the eye of the older one and he would die a cruel death. Nostradamus warned the king he should avoid ceremonial jousting. During his travels to the ancient mystery schools, it is believed that Nostradamus experienced a psychic awakening. One of the legends of Nostradamus says that, during his travels in Italy, he came upon a group of Franciscan monks, identifying one as the future Pope. The monk, called Felice Peretti, was eventually ordained Pope Sixtus V in 1585, fulfilling the prediction of Nostradamus.

Nor is there any definitive link between the year of queen's death and the number of the quatrain in question.
