He struggled in his early years due to lack of patronage. He wouldn't be remembered at all if it weren't for Catherine di Medici consulting him. His association with the Medici is also why he's remembered. It's certainly not for his accuracy what with him being a complete failure and all in that respect. Take away the famous association and he's no different than the other charlatans doing fortune telling during this period.

Will see. I know this is a map. Everything that Nostradamus has done. Has purpose. Rest of you might not know it. But I sure do. I will go there, St Helena if the evidence grants me so. What I will do also is perhaps print and cut a astrolab to find those exact corridnants first. It will take some time I am too busy to further investigate. I think it is intresting how the location was close to eachother as well. This I question.
Also I may need to look at the other maps. They all seem to be different. But I know there is something here I warn any of you. Nostradamus is serious. I swear, this Once the method is found, all will be reviled. The numbers even.. I question these. Even for some of the quatrains. It seems as tho, some are missing. I truly feel, that his sacred belongings and works are kept hidden. Where are the rest? Consigned to the flames? in prose.. book, composition, essay, exposition, fiction, nonfiction, speech, story, talk, text, tongue*, writing |

Sincere declarations that Nostradamus is to be taken seriously will get you nowhere around here. A lot of us have grown up with the alleged mysteries of Nosty and upon exploration found it nothing more than fitting from his smorgasbord "predictions" after the fact.

Rwalsh is not selling it. He's simply bought it.

And I warn you that I am laughing out loud at your posts.
Gosh, I remember back in the 1980s when all the Nostronuts were claiming that he had predicted that the world would end in 1996 or 1998 or was it 1999 or even 2000? Strangely, back in the 80s he hadn't predicted Diana's death or 911. he only predicted them after they had happened. It's great to see that the gullible are still finding things within his writing to believe in. |

Percision is good. "The best place to look for gold is in a gold mine." Awesome. Superstitious miners, eh? Who'd believe such a thing? Will you ever get around to explaining your reasons for believing that this is a map? What's clear is that you haven't yet established that there ever was a treasure. No we don't. I believe this vodeo contains some claws which we nude to cinsoder.
Unfortunately it appears that your method of investigation lacks the means to determine where imagination ends and reality begins. |

Would you care to explain how you know this? You didn't bother to follow Sideroxylon's link to the 'Magical Thinking' article, did you? Here's what the evidence has granted you so far: In other words, your selection of St Helena is no better than random. In terms of its accessibilty to a couple of Dutch priests at the time you believe the events you're not quite descibing took place it's actually considerably worse. I've already told you why, but you choose to ignore the explanation in order to sustain your fantasy. Where? It seems that way because you're desperate for Nossie's verses to match up better with your version of Life, the Universe and Everything and in order to bring that about you're pretending to yourself that there are missing quatrains that say exactly the things that you want to hear. They exist only in your imagination. Umm . . . yeah, sure. |

Either way. Im gifted with prophetic vision as well.
Before my 18th birthday, I forseen troubles ahead. And I spoke about the troubles approaching america. And I remember speaking to other people about this. Many times. For America to be engadged with war they needed to be attacked, a terrorist attack. I felt something coming. Its terrible to say the least. but the condition of humanity is very sick. Seeing a world dieing. IS forsee-able clause. These visions I have today. Are only aided by nostradamus. Its a helpful guide to train the mind more accurate. I still to this day Know that when Queen elizebeth shall die. There will be great war there after. When the Queen Shall die There will be war more terrible to last longer with grave consequence. Nations will fall, Leaders will call for vengeance There will be hardly no end to the suffrage. Great disagreement who's allies are now enemy. When the Queen Shall die... Expect. Terrible leaderships. Queen Elizabeth will die in her 98th Year. |

Again, you are wrong. Note that Noseypants refers to THE Queen, not A Queen. He is therefore referring to the band Queen rather than some footling, unimportant monarch. The death of Queen inarguably came with the death of Freddie Mercury on November 24th 1991. On the 27th of December, the United Nations begins the process of intervening in the Yugoslavian conflict, a "war more terrible." In December the Soviet Union comes to an end.
Once again, Rwalsh, I am better at interpreting these things than you are. Agreed? |

On the surface the OP seems to have an obsession with Nostradamus but throughout this thread we have repeatedly seen how little he knows about his apparent idol's life, writings or subsequent scholarship on same. I would have been reading far and wide on the man had I thought he had the degree of importance that Rwalsh has claimed.
Any real study effort would eat into time spent fantasizing about fame, fortune and having special powers and insights not possessed by mere mortals and jealous sceptics. |

That is a prediction worthy of Nostradamus, considering it happened in 1603. And 1914 is after 1603, right? If, per chance, you mean Queen Elizabeth II, I think you're vastly over estimating the power our monarch has these days. There may be a war after she dies, but it won't be related to her death. I predict that when she dies, there will be a bank holiday and golden, horse drawn carriages on the TV. |

That's going to blow your mind. Note how many wars America have been involved in that required no terrorist attack. |

Rwalsh, is it your prophecy that Queen Elizabeth II will die between 26 April 2023 and 25 April 2024 (her 98th year)? If she should happen to die outwith those dates, will you accept that you have failed as a prophet?

We can't wait so long. Quick, Rwalsh! I foretell 300,000 people are going to die (that is, cease living) the next weekend. The sudden knowledge of thousands and thousands dying tragically, with great suffering, came to me in a rhyme.
Do you agree? Can you improve what I forebode now? |

I read somewhere, though I now can't recall where, that Chuck doesn't want to be Charles III (because of associations with Bonnie Prince Charlie*) and is more likely to choose another regnal name. Wayne, or Mervyn, maybe. Or perhaps boringly George VII.
*Will that bring Charles Boden rushing back? |

Ive been reading some of the preface, although there are many different prefaces. Although He mentions Plutarch, Who happened to go and decipher Oracle of Delphi.
Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutarch Nostradamus mentions Princess Dianas' age of death. And so. Ive been searching for any clues to when Elizabeth shall sadly pass. After her death, there will be much confusion especially in the political foundation. So it is said in that time there will be a change in how war is conducted as well. The whole epistle to King Henry II I feel is written for Elizebeth II. And so if he had given way to princess dianas death. Certainly somewhere.. Which I believe Century X is our present time. Then Queens death is just as piviotol in the changing political role. |
