Nostradamus?

[blindsight]

i bet somebody's probable already brought up this post, but has anyone ever read Nostradamus's Les Propheties, and if so did u find the first few quatrain oddly reminiscent of a magikal ritual... i wonder if it would work? any comments?

I havent seen a copy of that anywere!! how'd you get it??:boing:

I found it in my library's nonfic 133.somthing or other section
it wasnt Les Propheties, but it did list all the quatrain, epistles,and presages, along with the authors interpretation.

pretty much it was a sandwich with Les Propheties as the meat.

Ive read through a lot of it and think its possible to reconstruct his ritual... i was wondering if u could comment....
( its amazing how similar to a modern neo-pagan ritual it is...)

i dont know about les prophetes but i have the book

The Complete Prophecies Of Nostrdamus - Edited and introduced by Ned Halley

it contains ALL his prophecies quatrains etc, and also contains an authors impression of each

The question would be, What would the ritual do if one were to perfom it...

I know it isnt, but it was one of the only Ebooks I could find...

I like the hard back edition though, That is what I would like to get for my Library :)

Sure they are. It's the ritual he used to "conjure" the things he did. ;)

I never thought of it that way...

well any way im finally back for my trip and what i ment was could u se it as a sort of mothod of scying into da future? not really "conjure"but sort of like overloading the senses and then scrying or some sort of divination perhaps i should have posted dis in da divination forum... the english trans make it a little hazy because he used a whole bunch of anagrams and other such in the book so its bestto look at the french and struggle to figure out what it means than breze by in english. sigh thanx anyways u guys
