Nostradamus predict the death of Princess Diana, The Queen, And for the Heir!
 
I know James Randi is very skeptic in the beleif of Nostradamus - to whom I feel sorry for.

So here is my Decipher. Only I written it for the queen instead of the Kings name.

It took you 22 months to post this indecipherable thread?

Let me rephrase that: What is your point?

arthwollipot 2nd October 2010 12:17 AM

Huh. I never thought of it that way. You may have a point. Just let me think about it a moment...

Oh, no wait, it's all absolute bull. My mistake.

Lukraak_Sisser 2nd October 2010 12:18 AM

Nostradamus can be interpreted in such a way that he 'predicted' whatever the reader wants to read into it.
He was the ultimate astrology writer, vague and generalistic so that his prophecies can fit whatever one wants to see.

Pixel42 2nd October 2010 12:21 AM

Oh good grief.

Quote:

For God will take notice of the long barrenness of the great dame,
Diana's mother was 19 when she had her first child, 21 when she had her second, 23 when she had her third, 26 when she had her fourth (Diana), and 28 when she had her fifth.

Quote:

who thereupon will conceive two principal children
She had five children.

Quote:

But she will be in danger,
Nope. Died of natural causes aged 68.

Quote:

and the female to whom she will have given birth will also, because of the temerity of the age, be in danger of death in her eighteenth year,
She had three daughters, none of whom appear to have had any significant problems at age 18

Quote:

and will be unable to live beyond her thirty-sixth year.
A hit!

Quote:

She will leave three males, and one female, and of these two will not have had the same father.
Diana had only two children, not four.

Even by the usual standards of Nostradamus' apologists, this is pathetic. And why on earth would he have been making predictions about British royalty who wouldn't be born for centuries to French royalty in the first place? The former aren't even the latter's descendants AFAIK.

Three males... and one Female.

The more important in this situation

Prince Harry, Prince Phillip, Charles, And the Queen herself.

The most immidiate family to the throne.

I suppose the real value from a "soothsayer" is to reap the benefits prior to the event not fitting the lock to the key retrospectively

Rwalsh 2nd October 2010 12:33 AM

who thereupon will conceive two principal children

Principal - arch, capital, cardinal, champion, chief, controlling, crowning, dominant, essential, first, foremost, greatest, head, highest, incomparable, key, leading, main, mainline, major, matchless, maximum, outstanding, paramount, peerless, predominant, preeminent, premier, prevailing, primary, prime, prominent, second-to-none, sovereign, star, stellar, strongest, supereminent, superior, supreme, transcendent, unapproachable, unequaled, unparalleled, unrivaled

Rwalsh 2nd October 2010 12:34 AM

Prince Harry the younger son will be the King of the Throne when Charles Passes. This is my Decipher.

Does principal mean all of that or just any of it?

I seem to be missing your point again. Feel free to clarify.

So, if this doesn'r happen, will the problem be the prophecy or your decipher of it?

Two principle Children. Prince Harry, prince william. Those who are to take heir of the throne...

Principle being the important word.

According to your 'decipher' it's Diana's mother who will have two principal children, after having been barren for a long time. She actually had five children (Diana, one that died and three others who seem equally uninteresting) between the ages of 19 and 28, so the very first line of this 'prophecy' tells us that whoever it's about, it certainly isn't about her and her children.

The word you used was "principal" and you gave a long list of what appeared to be synonyms for it... And then you dodged my question about it. Care to explain?

Whats clear is the Death in the age. Im not to say I am correct about every word of this statement, but its evident of the apparent Age of Diana's Death. Thats Enough for me to beleive furthermore.

It's actually not clear from the quoted 'prophecy' whether the 'she' that will leave three males and one female is the mother or the daughter, but it is clear from the reference to different fathers that it's children that's meant, not other members of the family. Diana's mother had three daughters and two sons (one of whom died at birth, leaving one male and three females) and Diana left two sons, so the verse can't be interpreted as applying to either of them.

If a single hit amongst a host of misses is enough to convince you of the accuracy of a prophecy then you are going to spend your whole life being wrong about absolutely everything.

bookitty 2nd October 2010 12:57 AM

Why would the death of Diana be important enough to warrant a prediction? It was very sad but it didn't change the world in any way. It didn't affect the amount of power held by the British royal family, it didn't start any wars, it didn't lead to a financial crisis or have any other major repercussions. It was just a private tragedy made public because the players were known.

I don't believe that Nostradamus ever truly predicted anything. The quatrains are all so vague that anything can be read in them. But if he did have some magic future-vision, why waste it on tabloid headline nonsense?

papango 2nd October 2010 01:00 AM

What about the rest of the letter. It goes on to say ...

... There will be great differences between the three brothers, and then there will be such great co-operation and agreement between them that the three and four parts of Europe will tremble. The youngest of them will sus- tain and augment the Christian monarchy, and under him sects will be elevated, and suddenly cast down, Arabs will be driven back, kingdoms united and new laws promulgated.

The oldest one will rule the land whose escutcheon is that of the furious crowned lions with their paws resting upon intrepid arms.

The one second in age, accompanied by the Latins, will penetrate far, until a second furious and trembling path has been beaten to the Great St. Bernard Pass. From there he will descend to mount the Pyrenees, which will not, however, be transferred to the French crown. And this third one will cause a great inundation of human blood, and for a long time Lent will not include March.


Is Harry going to march on the Pyreness?

36 is the age that Marylin Monroe died. She was "perpetually dazzling" as well. This is obviously about her.

Ladewig 2nd October 2010 01:02 AM

OK, let's talk about the rules for interpreting Nostradamus.

Rule 1. Your interpretation MUST start by citing a specific quatrain (or in this case) paragraphs

Rule 2. Your post MUST include the quatrain in the original French.

Rule 3. If you are going to substitute words, then you need to clearly describe how you decided what the new word was going to be.

If you cannot follow these rules, then there is absolutely no reason to take you seriously.


..............

Oh, and what Pixel42 said. That, too.

Rwalsh 2nd October 2010 01:05 AM

Its from the epistle. not everything has to be interpreted out of the quatrains. All the writings are important. The Letter to Cesar, The Epstile, and the Quatrains are all intertwine to bring forth knowledge.

philkensebben 2nd October 2010 01:05 AM

Pretty sure its a prediction concerning Katie Price. Read into it a bit more and i'm sure you'll find something about breast implants.

Then you shouldn't have posted an obviously ludicrous claim on a forum whose members are notorious for asking them.

Next time try asking yourself the obvious questions (like: why does almost nothing this prophecy says apply to the people I'm about to claim it applies to) before posting.

Fine. Then provide the original text of this letter in French.

See, that's not what I'd hoped you had learned. I'd hoped you had learned that attempting to decipher Nostradamus' prophecies is a pointless waste of your time.

I suspect this whole thread is a wind up.

If you are posting them to get a round of applause, then you're right. Posting them here will probably not be satisfying. If you are posting them to get honest (albeit brutally honest) feedback, a bit of logic and a skeptical interpretation, then by all means post away. You just have to decide what is more important, your ego or your enlightenment.

Not true. The deciphers I compiled became evident of future events.

So does Prince Charles already know that William is not his son or is that something he will learn just before he is dying?

Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but I suspect that the royal family would have already done a paternity test on the two boys. Especially when rumors of infidelity abounded.

It's actually Harry who's suspected of having a different father. I don't think anyone has ever suggested that William's paternity is questionable.

Here's one more. When Nostradamus was writing about Princess Di's death and potential heirs to the British throne, why was it necessary "to cloud the meaning of the message"?

Perhaps you should spend a little time thinking about them, then. You may find it interesting.
