Nostradamus


Nostradamus

Michel de Nostradame, more commonly known as Nostradamus, was born on December
14, 1503, in St. Remy de Provence. He was a seer and a time traveler living in 2 realities.
He also was adept in astrology and astronomy, and, along with his own clairvoyance. He
used both sciences to interpret the visions he received in the secrecy of his study.
He was often refered to as the prophet of doom because of the visions he had involving
death and war. His followers say he predicted the French Revolution, the birth and rise to
power of Hitler, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. His prophetic vision....942
cryptic poems called "The Centuries" groups in sets of 100. A single verse is commonly
called a quatrain and 100 quatrains a Centurie. They have enthralled generation after
generation of readers. He predicted some of history's most monumental events from the
Great Fire of London (1666) to the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger.
His parents were of simple lineage from around Avignon. Nostradamus was the oldest
son, and had four brothers; of the first three we know little; the youngest, Jean, became
Procureur of the Parliament of the Provence.

Nostradamus' great intellect became apparent while he was still very young, and his
education was put into the hands of his grandfather, Jean, who taught him the rudiments
of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Mathematics and Astrology.
