Nostradamus C4 Q29: The Ritual for initiating and completing the 21stC Comet prophecies.

Nostradamus C4 Q29: The Ritual for initiating and completing the 21stC Comet prophecies.
28th April 2015:

The second verse in this series follows the path set by the anagrams for ritual and it illustrates some other Gods from legends that Nostradamus used to enhance his recall of his nightly visions. It also demonstrates the integration of usage, rules employed and topics he thought important enough to project 500 years beyond his mortal years.

The text of this verse immediately places it into the cluster of verses that describe Nostradamus' method of obtaining and presenting his prophecies. This is affirmed in the anagrams where one of the Prophecies' ten anagrams for ritual/s (rutila) is found. The story of the verse is found by interweaving the detail of the anagrams with the text and it hides a tale found throughout the Prophecies; it is the impact of the comet Apep on the world. From the comet comes bionomic material that enriches the pastures of Herculean Africa. And by including the anagram for ritual Nostradamus is declaring how he gained and remembered his dream; he focussed on the emotional  qualities of Vulcan and Hermes to initiate and remember his vision.

But the verse clearly has an astronomic tone which can lead to a specific date. The sun hidden eclipsed by Mercury will be placed second in the sky can be taken as an eclipse  the moon since this is the only means by which it can hidden and be second in the sky but there is also an eclipse by Mercury which limits the  possible periods. The sun hidden also suggest it is at night. The fourth line implies the reemergence of the sun from behind the moon as dawn breaks while in the anagrams there is verseau which in French means Aquarius and this identifies the period from 20th January to 19th February in any modern year.

Now the anagrams of the second line introduce a twist to the tale of a type Nostradamus often uses; it introduces two distintinctive names, Ermesinda (d Ne $era mi) and Cecile's  power (ue pour - le ciel $ec) that define an epoch of two branches of the de Foix family lineage in the early part of the thirteenth century. The second line also has anagrams for second-line see Marquis recouple (iel $econdN -e $e - ra mis qu-e pour le c) and this relates to the re-uniting of the two branches in 1314CE when Bernard VIII de Comminges married Nathe l'Isle d'Jourdain. The device used by Nostradamus is to use historically locatable events to set a period of 177 years that is  854 years in the future (from 1989CE to 2168CE), a period defined by the perfect cycle of planets which he describes in full in his Epistle to Henry 1558.  (See my paper on Floods for full coverage of this topic).

The third line holds anagrams for Herculean (e Vlcan Her) Africa (ra faic) and this provides a location where the real action of the story takes place. That action involves the comet Apep's flight path (he ecli - pse pa) and the release of material in the pastured (pa$ture D) regions of Northern Africa.
