Amazing Prophecy: Seer, French Astrologer, Physician, Author, Translator, Astrologer and Apothecary (Pharmacist)

The Man Who Saw Through Time!

Michael de Nostradame, usually Latinised as Nostradamus was born on the 14th of December 1503 in Saint-Remy-de Provence (France) and died at age 62 on 2nd July 1566. He is considered one of the most accurate prophets in history by many. It is said he even predicted his death. When his assistant wished him goodnight on July 1, 1566, Nostradamus reputedly pronounced, "You will not find me alive at sunrise." He was found dead on July 2, 1566.

The Early Years: Mysterious Awakening, Unexplained Prophecy

In his early years, Nostradamus was a Physician and developed some very progressive methods for dealing with the plague. Also, during this time, while travelling throughout Italy, Nostradamus experienced a Mysterious Awakening, an unexplained prophecy, when he came upon a group of Franciscan monks, he identified one as the future Pope. The monk, called Felice Peretti, was ordained Pope Sixtus V in 1585, fulfilling his prediction.

The Later Years: Notoriety, King Henry's Court and The Magnum Opus – Les Prophecies (The Prophecies)

Later in life, Nostradamus became famous and in demand by many of Europe’s elite. Catherine de Medici, the wife of King Henri II of France, was one of Nostradamus’s greatest admirers. After familiarising herself with his almanacs of 1555, where he inferred at unnamed threats to her family, she summoned him to Paris to explain and draw up horoscopes for her family. A few years later, she made him Counsellor and Physician-in-Ordinary to King Henri’s Court. In 1556, while serving in this position Nostradamus also 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. ‘Low and behold’, three years later, when King Henri was 41 years old, he died in a jousting match when a lance from this opponent pierced the king’s visor and entered his head behind the eye deep into his brain.

Nostradamus’s book, the magnum opus – Les Prophecies (the Prophecies), published in 1855, made him notorious. The book contained his prophecies for the next ten centuries. From the time of its publication and Nostradamus’s death, the book has rarely been out of print, earning him fame. It has attracted a loyal following, including much of the popular press, that credits him with accurately predicting many pivotal major world events in history.
