The first Nostradamus

The first Nostradamus

The first Nostradamus was a man called Michel de Nostredame, he was French and he predicted the great plague, one of his descendants predicted Adolf Hitler and ISIS, their are several ways to describe how they " see "

what is heralded?  these days it is known as Astrological Interpretation, reading the stars basically the Nostradamus line have mastered this process, or it could be said that they simply pay attention to current climates and then put out a prophecy which then it becomes true though public belief, or if someone has a crystal ball. all of Michel's predictions were published by the way and they only consist of four lines, it's called a quatrain, 4 being a very ominous number gives rise to the belief that they are seeing into the future. Incredible right?

Bit more about him and his works....

By 1554, Nostradamus' visions had become an integral part of his works in the almanacs, and he decided to channel all his energies into a massive opus he calls Centuries. He planned to write 10 volumes, which would contain 100 predictions forecasting the next 2,000 years. In 1555 he publishedLes Prophesies, a collection of his major, long-term predictions. Possibly feeling vulnerable to religious persecution, he devised a method of obscuring the prophecies' meanings by using quatrains—rhymed four-line verses and he translated them into other languages such as Greek, Italian, Latin, and Provencal, a dialect of Southern France. Oddly enough, Nostradamus enjoyed a good relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. It is believed he never faced prosecution for heresy by the Inquisition because he didn't extend his writings to the practice of magic.

Nostradamus ran into some controversy with his predictions, as some thought he was a servant of the devil and he sold his soul for the price of his gift. Others said he was fake or insane and should be put into a hospital.  However, many more believed the prophecies were spiritually inspired and he had actually experienced what he had seen. He 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' greatest admirers. After reading his almanacs of 1555, where he hinted at unnamed threats to her family, she summoned him to Paris to explain and draw up horoscopes for her children. A few years later, she made him Counselor and Physician-in-Ordinary to King Henri's court. In 1556, while serving in this capacity 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 (stab the man).of the older one and he would die a cruel and untimely death. Nostradamus after experiencing something again  warned the king he should avoid ceremonial jousting. Three years later, when King Henri refused to not play jousting he  was 41 years old and 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 and skull causing his death. He held on to life for 10 agonizing days before finally dying of infection...

Nostradamus claimed to base his published predictions on judicial astrology (reading the stars)  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. However although all his predictions seem incredible and accurate many if his works lack the dates so some people believe he could have just made things up and guessed what he had experienced. However In fact, many scholars believe he paraphrased ancient end-of-the-world prophecies (mainly from the Bible) and then through astrological readings of the past, projected these events into the future. There's also evidence not everyone was enamored with Nostradamus' predictions. He was criticized by professional astrologers of the day for incompetence and assuming that comparative horoscopy (the comparison of future planetary configurations with those accompanying known past events) could predict the future.
Although most of his predictions are mainly abut floods, disastseda, earth quakes and some important historical events. Before he passed away he told his before he died You will not fine me alive at sunrise." The next morning he was reportedly found dead lying on the floor next to his bed.

I know this isn't really an urban legend or paranormal but it's an incredible part of history which is linked to psychic abilities.
