There are thirty-one verses where gold is mentioned
in the text which represents over three percent of the Prophecies. Such
a sizable chunk suggests this term has special relevance to Nostradamus
and the purpose of this chapter is to explore the unities within the
verses that use precious metals in their text.
Besides these thirty-one verses there are another three that hold
anagrams for 'gold' and these three provide pivotal links to the
rationale behind Nostradamus' focus on gold and silver.
The basic theme within these verses is complementary
to that of the story given in my Chapter on Malthus in which debt,
creditors and corporations facilitate and corrupt the technonological
advancements of the twenty-first century and beyond. I believe
Nostradamus uses the theme of gold and silver to identify verses which
reflect the events we will face in our time and that his coverage
traverses legend, myth and the history of the past five hundred years to
produce its pictures. Despite his use of ancient images and stories
hidden until now Nostradamus'
goal is always prophetic and each verse references a dimension or detail
relevant to the great mutations of mankind that he foresaw for the 21st
century and beyond.
But now I want to reach out and declare happenings of common interest through incomprehensible and perplex sentences about future causes. The most urgent are those in which I perceive some human mutation and for which I must find a way that is inoffensive to the weakest ear..1555 Cesar Preface (PCE2)
GOLD During Nostradamus' lifetime.
Nostradamus lived in a financial climate that had to impact on his
writings. The sixteenth century has a special place in the financial
history of the World due to the discovery of immense, easily extracted
silver reserves in the newly discovered lands of South America. The
major beneficiaries of this wealth were the Spanish and in particular
Charles V who used that wealth to pursue endless wars in support of his
claim to become the Holy Roman Empire and suppression of the Protestant
cause. The pursuit of this goal however bankrupted Spain because the war
was more costly than the new discoveries could sustain and Charles V
took on debts with punitive interest rates using the strength of his
cash flow as his surety. The reign of Charles V ended when he abdicated
in 1556 and it was his son Maximillian who then carried the burden of
inherited debt and the ignominy of bankruptcy. Verse C1 Q53 references
this story of finance in the era Nostradamus wrote his Prophecies and it
is on this base that he builds his story of modern and future financial
collapse. The anagrams in the story offer parallels to this era of easy
gold and silver that are seen in the
petroleum (ple tourme)
industry and in an arena yet to emerge where modern man mines
uranolites (otale
ruin) and begins to reap the mineral riches
of space.
C1 Q53
Alas, how we will see a great nation sorely troubled
Gold and the Prosperity of the Realm- the first ten
generations.
A powerful demonstration of Nostradamus' methodology
is given by C8 Q44 and C9 Q17 where the former has an anagram for
gold (l dog)
in its first line and the fourth line of the latter has a French
reference to the Age of Gold
being dead. The link that makes these verses stand out as being a pair
comes via the third line of C8 Q44 which says To the king long
friend of the
half man. In C9 Q17
in the section where gold is mentioned in the text there is an an
anagram for androgyne (roy grand e)
which refers to a being with the attributes of being half-man and
half-woman while in the line above it there is an anagram for
friend (n Redif).
And there is an androgynous person called
Chevalier d'Eon
linked to the time of Louis XV whose ties to the king fit to the ideas
given above and below since Louis' father's reign (Louis XIV) is the one
which history refers to as the French Royal's 'Golden Age' . It is by
this means that the obscurity of these verses is made to vanish and in
its place is the story-line of a namable French royal family.
The natural offspring of Ogmios Le procree naturel dogmion The third one first does worse than Nero, Le tiers premier pys que ne feit Neron
Now these two verses are part of a bigger story in
which dates are set for these gold-related events. And fittingly the intercross method
of text and anagrams already used in linking the above verses also works
using the
anagram for calendars (rand
e$cla) in the end of the fourth line of C9 Q 17 and
the wording
'seven to nine' that appears
in the second line of C8 Q 44 since it identifies the turning
point of Louis XIV' reign during which three
generations of the Royal line were sidelined by his longevity. Also of interest
in establishing its relevance is the
anagram for monetised (emin
de$to) in C8 Q44 which again has a textual relationship to
the wording in the fourth line of C9 Q17 which says the age of
gold is dead.
Another verse C5 Q41 also uses the Age of Gold reference point
found in C9 Q17 and it has the same
hint of the demise of a wealthy era since its fourth line says renewing
the age of brass for gold. But the story in the text of C5 Q41
shown below resonates with the birth in Pau of Henry IV, King of Navare and his
impact on France which therefore extends the range of the earlier verses
set in the louis XIV to Louis XV era back into the sixteenth century. And by this
place of birth we see an
additional link to C8 Q44 since that verse displayed has both
Navarre and Pau as part of its text.
Born in the shadows and during a dark day, Nay $ouz les vmbres et journee nocturne
It becomes apparent that these verses fit well to the
generations of the Bourbon line dating from the matriarch of the line, Marguerite d'Angouleme through
Henry IV and carrying on to the tenth generation at which time the
Golden age of Louis XIV the Sun King is replaced by one of lesser glory
under Louis XV. But who is the half man, the androgyne found in the
earlier verses? There is a person called
Chevalier d'Eon
linked to the the reign of Louis XV whose attributes interweave
correctly with the threads teased out in the analysis above.
In 1756, d'Éon joined the secret network of spies called the Secret du Roi, employed by King Louis XV without the knowledge of the government. It sometimes promoted policies that contradicted official policies and treaties. According to d'Éon's memoirs (although there is no documentary evidence to support that account) the monarch sent d'Éon with the Chevalier Douglas, Alexandre-Pierre de Mackensie-Douglas, baron de Kildin, a Scottish Jacobite in French service, on a secret mission to Russia in order to meet Empress Elizabeth and conspire with the pro-French faction against the Habsburg monarchy. At that time the English and French were at odds, and the English were attempting to deny the French access to the Empress by allowing only women and children to cross the border into Russia. D'Éon had to pass convincingly as a woman or risk being executed by the English upon discovery. In the course of this mission, d'Éon was disguised as the lady Lea de Beaumont, and served as a maid of honour to the Empress...Wikipedia extract Most scholars believe Louis XV's decisions damaged the power of France, weakened the treasury, discredited the absolute monarchy, and made it more vulnerable to distrust and destruction, as happened in the French Revolution, which broke out 15 years after his death.
And the most spectacular financial story of Louis
XV's reign involves a Scotsman called John Law whose involvement appears
to be as much a part of the story of silver and gold as is that of
Malthus linking the tale of financial crisis to the restrictions imposed
by finite earthly
resources.
John Law as Nostradamus'
archetypal man-of-straw.
John Law (21 April 1671 – 21 March 1729) was a Scottish economist who believed that money was only a means of exchange that did not constitute wealth in itself and that national wealth depended on trade. He was appointed Controller General of Finances of France under the Duke of Orleans, regent for the youthful king Louis XV.
There is a verse in the Prophecies where two of
the lines of the text point towards a person such as John Law whose French initiatives were taken up by the British with a similar
result. The South Sea Bubble was Britain's hangover that mirrored
that of the Mississippi Company but there is more than the text to
suggest that this is the intended meaning of Nostradamus.
Verse C5 Q93 is one
of the three verses where an anagram for
gold (d glo)
is found and in the second line of that verse given below there are anagrams
for mercature domain
(a
domin - ateur Mercu)
which provide a strong connection to the economics of trade. And the
choice of mercature as a word is related to a time in the past since its
is an obsolete term for trade or commerce. This
concept of a specific type of commerce also fits with an anagram for
bourse (re
Soub)
which appears in the same line as that for gold and it was through
instruments traded on stock exchanges and bourses that the great havoc
of these economic bubbles was made possible. The defininh pointers to
John Law's life story occur in the last two lines.
C5 93
Under the land of the round lunar globe, Soubs le terroir du rond globe lunaire
This selection of Thomas Malthus and John Law comes about
either as a focal point of Nostradamus' interest or as the product of chance but
whichever it is the entry of these people with powerful influence in the sphere
of finance is relevant to the topics raised in the texts of verses where these
anagrams are found.
If Nostradamus' work is prophetic as
he claimed then such evidence of a defining nature is
mandatory for it to be meaningful and its absence would render his works
pointless. Knowing that
these elements do appear to be present doesn't prove his claims, they can never
do that since they must always rely on the past for their credibility.
What they can do is enhance our understanding of the nature of time and
if there is any purpose in Nostradamus methods and claims it is surely
this goal that would justify his efforts.
For the common benefit of humans it is about the divine essence by which the astronomic revolutions have given me cognizance...1555 Cesar Preface (PCE1)
What such evidence offers us is a means to more fully
explore its implications but in order to do so we have to suspend
prejudgement and take the evidence at face value. As tenuous and
irrational as it may seem for Nostradamus to have seen our future we can
judge that there is indeed a pattern is emerging from the ciphers
based on precious metals and these suggests its a themed story reflective of
design and not a
random ragbag of unrelated ideas that chance might generate. Thus far this story of silver and gold points
to these metals being ciphers that signal verses telling us the story of the Bourbon
royal line, a line that had its roots in Nostradamus lifetime but which
had no substance until several decades after his death.
And this fifteenth to seventeenth century story only makes sense if it acts as a
portent or history underpinning events to come since it remains hidden at the
time of occurrence and redemption can only be offered if it reveals future
truths of inevitable events. The questions that this then raises are Why
bother? and What underpins the choice of Nostradamus' themes?
The next series of verses I discuss provides a
foundation from which the answers to the above questions can be
obtained. They involve a Roman statesman and consul in the second
century BC and his activities in Southern France. Verse C8 Q29 mentions
this leader, Caepio, in its last line of text in the context of an
ancient legend. This tale centres Caepio's theft from Temples in Toulouse, gold that is traceable back to the sack of the temple
of the Delphic oracle two centuries earlier.
Quintus Servilius Caepio: While marching to Arausio (modern-day Orange) Caepio plundered the temples of the town of Tolosa (ancient Toulouse) , finding over 50,000 fifteen-pound bars of gold and 10,000 fifteen-pound bars of silver. Strabo reports[1] a story told in his time of this semi-legendary treasure, the aurum Tolosanum, supposed to have been the "cursed gold" looted during the sack of Delphi during the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC. The riches of Tolosa were shipped back to Rome, but only the silver made it; the gold was stolen by a band of marauders, who were believed to have been hired by Caepio himself. The Gold of Tolosa was never found, and was said to have been passed all the way down to the last heir of the Servilii Caepiones, Marcus Junius Brutus.
In the above quotation
the original theft was made during a Gallic invasion and then after
Capio it passed down through his line and this offers resolution to the
first line of text in C8 Q44 which says The natural offspring of Ogmios
where Ogmios is a Celtic hero gifted with the special powers of speech
speech. This link therefore unites another of the gold series to those
already shown to be linked into a continuous tale. In the fourth line of
text in C8
Q29 there is a reference to Caepio and his theft of ancient gold
and the verse therefore mirrors elements of the account given in the above quote from
Wikipedia.
C8 Q29
At the fourth pillar which they dedicate to Saturn Au quart pillier l'on $acre a $aturne
So theft involving gold is at the core of
Nostradamus' work but this topic is totally unworthy of being called a
great mutation of mankind and to justify writing Prophecies about events
five hundred years in the future the interim events must relate to ones
that dwarf all that befalls man up to that time. We can rule out that the future tale is merely
to tell us of financial disaster that we should avoid since such a
motivation would not only be presumptuous but totally futile given the
great number of disastrous bubbles that the world has experienced under
the guiding hand of man's greed. Yet there can be
no doubt that these verses do relate to a financial precious-metal based
fraud.
The fraudulent gold scandal.
Verses C3 Q13 and C8 Q28 form an intercrossed pair. Both mention a
process involving gold with the first line of text in C3 Q13 saying Through lightning in the arch
gold and silver melt
and the equivalent line saying The copies of gold and silver
inflated. The link between the two verses is provided by the
anagram for furnace (ac
furen) found in line 2 of C8 Q28 which becomes
the device in which an arc melts the two metals and this process is
still a modern means of manufacturing gold. I believe the two verses
tell of a deception where metals such as tungsten or uranium are mixed
to reproduce the qualities of the precious metals when
testing for purity. It is implied that this simulatory process is used for
fraud which involves production of a copy followed by an organised theft of the
forgery for the insurance value of the genuine article. This theft is covered up by the robbers
of the false metals disposing of it in a lake and in this respect
mirrors the actions of Caepio in C8 Q29. It is evident from
the nature of these verses that the amount of gold involved is vast
which then implies a vault. When this lost gold is rediscovered the texts tell us there is an
irrecoverable-loss to shareholders of the vault as indicated by C3 Q13 line 3 The greatest one of the city stretched out,
and C8 Q28 lines 3 and 4 at the discovery that all is exhausted and
dissipated, All scrips and bonds will be wiped out.
C3 Q13
Through lightning in the arch gold and silver melt Par fouldre en l'arche or et argent fondu
C8 Q28
The copies of gold and silver inflated, Les $imulachres d'or et d'argent enflez
The text of C8 Q28 tells us that stolen gold is thrown
into the lake and this provided links to another
verse in the fraudulent precious metals series since the second line of
text in C9 Q12 says
'The images will be found in the lake:'
and
other lines mention both gold and silver. And although one has the French
word 'simulachres' translated as copies and the other has 'images' these
are one and the same and this term in the form simulacres is usually used
in connection with a pretence or sham which reinforces the idea of currency
debasemen.
C9 Q12
So much silver of Diana and Mercury, Le tant d'argent de Diane et Mercure
This theme of robbery can be seen in quite a number
of the verses on gold as illustrated by C7 Q3 and in this verse there is
a direct mention of fraud. The content of the text
is self-evidently meant to act as a timing and locative device for these
events.
After the naval victory of France, Apres de France la victoire naualeThe next verse C7 Q25 develops the same theme since iy refers to reasons for altering the metallic content of the currency but in the example given it isn't considered fraud or theft but a legally backed debasement of the currency of the type employed throughout history.
C7 Q25
Through long war all the army exhausted, Par guerre longue tout l'exercite expui$erAnd again using the reference to brass and war found C7 Q25 we can identify another linkage within the precious-metals series and a correlation between other parts of their text where the inability to find money for soldiers in the above verse matches the concept of a broken agreement referred to in the one below.
C5 Q19
The great Royal one of gold, augmented by brass, Le grand Royal d'or d'aerain augmente
To understand the magnitude of the event to which the
theme of gold and silver relate we have to look at some verses that fill
in the pattern of the five hundred years that are concealed in the
Prophecies for in them the clue to the shadow of the momentous mutation events
expected to start in the
21st century can be seen.
If the thirty verses on gold were all to fit to the
pattern indicated in C8 Q44 then it is possible that each represents a
family member of the Bourbon line from the time that Nostradamus was in
the own of Agen in the 1530's and that he included their lineage because
it is through a 21st century member of that family that Jesus' rebirth as a
genetic clone is manifested.
Then there will come out of the stem which had remained barren for so long, proceeding from the 50th parallel, one who will renew the whole Christian Church.... 1558 Henry Epistle (HEE13a) And being close to another desolation when she will have the most high and sublime dignity, potentates and military leaders will stand before her and take away her two swords. And this will give the signs by means of the curvature that gathers the people making her move to the right. She will not want to condescend to them and goes to the opposite extreme. The hand is put into the acute position touching earth until from the urge to stimulate, one is born from that branch that has been sterile for a long time. ... 1558 Henry Epistle (HEE14a)
This concept then allows the gold verses that
relate to the first ten generations to be more easily identified
with C1 Q35 having been widely recognised as part of this time period
from soon after Nostradamus' 1555 publication of his Prophecies.
This verse brought the Prophet to attention because it mirrors
the events that took place when Henry II of France was killed by
unwisely participating in a joust during a court festival held
at the end of June. But this verse was included in the lineage
stories not because of the French king but because of the man
who brought about his death,
Gabriel de Lorges
also known as comte de Montgomery. The anagrams in this verse tell us to pay
attention since this man's name appears in the anagrams of this
verse and nowhere else. The anagram for
de Lorges (ge d'or les)
as well as June
(jeun),
eternally (ontera Le Ly)
mourns ($urmon)
older eyes (e d'or l
- es ye) are all present. And there is also
an anagram for Parques
(que par $)
which is the name for the Roman fates. De Lorges was
deeply changed by his part in the King's death and for some
reason switched to the Protestant cause where he served as an
ally to both Jeanne d'Albret, first Bourbon Queen of Navarre and
her son King Henry IV Of France. In June 1574 he was taken to
Paris and beheaded for his participation in an attempted
insurrection in Normandy.
C1 35
The young lion will overcome the older one, Le lyon jeune le vieux $urmontera
The Bourbon line represents the focus point for
ideologies that seek redemption by resurrecting belief patterns
about the past. The resurrection of Jesus is one of the end goals
that inspires continuing adherents. The great mutations of the
twenty first century make many aspirations possible with
resurrection being one of them. Already attempts are underway to
resurrect dinosaurs and mammoths and man's incresing ability to
manipulate DNA assures that in the future there will be an attempt
to clone Jesus from DNA found in holy relics. Such misguided
endeavours will seem almost rational amongst the legal usage of DNA
alteration that sees babies born solely to provide spare parts for
the ageing rich. We do not need to be Nostradamus to recognise the
path our technology leads us down but there is evidence that the
Prophecies had these ideas in mind as shown by this passage in the
1558 Epistle to Henry and verse C3 Q72.
And being close to another desolation when she will have the most high and sublime dignity, potentates and military leaders will stand before her and take away her two swords. And this will give the signs by means of the curvature that gathers the people making her move to the right. She will not want to condescend to them and goes to the opposite extreme. The hand is put into the acute position touching earth until from the urge to stimulate, one is born from that branch that has been sterile for a long time. ... 1558 Henry Epistle (HEE14a)
Verse C3 Q72 has wording that fits well to the
concept of an old man renewed by cloning shortly before his death
and In its last line there are two anagram sequences for
'machines tout older' 'lord
nonseraPhic (earthly) calendar'. These words are similar
to ideas in other stories and here they suggest that cloning is but
one step on the road to cloning Jesus.
C3 Q72
The good old man buried quite alive, Le bon vieillart tout vif en$euely
The calendar cipher in the verse above supports
the idea that this topic will be well covered by Nostradamus'
astronomic dating techniques which he claimed he had used and
included in important verses. One of the series where this applies
is in the gold-focussed verses and its offshoots.
The Calendar dates given by the woman in
chains.
Verse C4 Q97 is also one of the three verses that holds an
anagram for gold (gdol).
It has a complex set of connections that allow a date to be given to
events involving a gold crisis these involve imagery that defines the
background constellation needed to the planetary motions shown in the
text of its first line. The second line says The line of the great
Monarch will not fail and this can be interpreted as the constellations involving a line of
Monarchs which would the then be Hercules, Perseus and Andromeda with Perseus being the
great King who grows old in his reign, Andromeda in the mother-figure
in chains and Hercules the member of the line that brings most fame to their line.
Within the anagrams formed by the planetary text there are terms such as
Western (s
Venus ret) quadrangle (grade
L'an qu) and
Maneuvres (ure
Mars Ven) that help define this astronomic setting
since it is only possible to satisfy the requirements in the text by
their being regressions in the signs opposite to that of the sun.
The third line of text has adjacent anagrams for
evils patterns aged gold eludes
(e l'v$i
- tant pres - de Ga - gdol -E$leu d)
and
The last line holds another strange set of anagrams suggesting
ill or
evil fortune exerting panique. These wordings tie this
verse to many of those that mention gold in their text and constantly
refines vagueries in their text. Using the information set out above I
deduce the planetary occurrence refers to late spring in the year 2012.
C4 Q97
In the year that Mercury, Mars, Venus retrograde, L'an que Mercure Mars Venus retrograde. Du grand Monarque la ligne ne faillit
The extent to which the connections to other verses
exist is well demonstrated by verse C10 Q46. The text of these two
verses share several wordings of rare occurrence with reference to 'the
people' and electoral activity in their texts while 'ill
fortune' appearing as anagrams in C4 Q97 above can be seen in 'life,
fate and death' allusion in the first line of the verse below.
And in the third line of C10 Q46 there is an anagram
for Androm'da and
Andromada
(andra d'amo) with no other variants of Andromeda
appearing anywhere else in the Prophecies. That this is a mythological
reference to a queen is confirmed by the only anagram for
sovereign (gne Vie $or)
in Nostradamus' verses. There is also a most unusual complete
sequence saying music and drama burned
our sign (De Brun -$uic m - and
- ra d'am - our - $ign) which if valid helps explain
the references in the text to 'a sordid, unworthy man of
the gold' and the mention of Saxony and Brunswick since it evokes
the seemingly-preposterous idea that Nostradamus used Richard Wagner as one of his nodes for
relating the tale of his lineage stories. But such an idea is only
preposterous if he couldn't see the future otherwise it is merely
bizarre that he should choose Wagner above all other persons of that
era.
C10 Q46
In life, fate and death a sordid, unworthy man of the gold Vie $ort mort de L'OR vilaine indigneIf the Wagner conclusion is correct than there must be a reason behind the selection and this lies in the anagram for musical found in simulachres a term used in these verses on gold. These threads can be developed further and the others in the series shown to be part of the same story but I will not do that here but the remaining verses will be integrated into later sections as their relevance dictates.
