Nostradamus C8 Q43: His use of Nordic poetry for the emotions of family gone awry. The anagrams of this verse reveal Nostradamus' usage of the Norse Edda's couplets ($eron - t les coup - s de da) as a stimulant for a particular vision-sequence he was pursuing. For access to this type of vision he relies on the emotions of kinship gone seriously awry. The colour associated with this emotion is paler green (pera l - e regn).   The anagrams also complement the story of the text and relate how two deaths involving a newly-born child (puerperal = ar peur ple) and an adolescent (edans lecto) disrupt the upper (peur p) lineages (a l'en$eig) and leads to a pauper (eu par p, par peu) taking the throne.These children are from the Celt ( lect) lands (dans l) near Cognac (ang occ), France where the interface with Roman culture produced a people whose values still represent their ancestry. And although much of the anagram-based story is taken up with the relationship between Nostradamus' couplets and the method by which the Norse Edda's include their pagan lunar calendar it also embraces the Roman Calends into the Nordic version.   Decans identify the first day of each month in the Roman calendar and signify the start of a new lunar cycle. The pre-Christian Norse also used a lunar calendar the details of which are believed to be embodied in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda written after Christianity reached Iceland. This corruption of pagan-Christian values Nostradamus refers to as as pseudo-sacred (es coups de dars) in the anagrams . This ancient book also shows there was a Nordic belief that their ancestors came from Troy and this is detailed in Snorri's Edda. In the anagrams of the same line where pseudo-sacred occurs there is a sequence saying Norse couplets addressed Troy calends ($eron - t les coup -s de dars De - dans lec - toyr) which firmly locks in the mixing of two cultures ideas on lunar calendars.   The details given above can be seen within the major anagrams which include: pseudosacred, Eddic, couplets, addressed, calipered, puerperal, upper, gene-lines, died,  consolute, cognacs, purple,  wrapper, decided,  basest, engine, replaced, address, releasing, pauper, lineages, Troys, calends, deduce, stars, Eddas, sadder, ensign, Celts, adolescent, leader, weep.

Nostradamus C3 Q4: The allusion of man's wastelands used to see 21stC science disasters

 Nostradamus C3 Q4: The allusion of man's wastelands used to see 21stC science disasters.

C3 Q4When they will be close the lunar ones will fail,
From one another not greatly distant,
Cold, dryness, danger towards the frontiers,
Even where the oracle has had its beginning.

The last line of text of this verse is clearly about a process that is at the starting point of a prophecy and it is reasonable to assume it refers to Nostradamus which in turn implies it  relates to the means by which he gained his visions and then set them down. The earlier parts of the verse set details for this particular prophecy but it is not immediately apparent as to the threat by reading the text alone.

There are well structured clues in the anagrams that tell us that it is about his techniques and they include well known terms such as forsent (es front), destine (e ne di$t) and portends (d $eront p). There also less well known but very apt terms such as mnemonics (ins commen) and memes (Me$me). 

A meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". Memes act as units for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme' 

Mnemonics are learning techniques that aid information retention and recall. Their use is based on the observation that the human mind more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, physical, sexual, humorous, or otherwise "relatable" information [i.e. emotional data], rather than more abstract or impersonal forms of information.

C3 Q4 - French text
Qand $eront proches le defaut des lunaires
De l'vn a l'autre ne di$tant grandement
Froid $iccite danger vers les frontieres
Me$me ou l'oracle a prins commencement

There are also anagrams related to process with engravers disc cited (d $ic - cite d -anger ver ) and mementoes (nt Me$me o) commences (s commence) being prominent which are linked to a tale starting (i$tant gr) with an accident involving protons (ront pro) that creates a sulfated (faut des l) wasteland (aut des luna) garmented (nt grandeme) by a crimson (rins com) darkness (Qes and $er). There are also individual anagrams and sequences that strongly point to a disaster in nature since we have destine natural (n a l'autr - e ne di$t), nature dies (autre ne di$)  and accident verge (ccite dan - ger ve) in a line of text talking about dangers on a frontier (such as happens in science research). But this is not a new tale since it is linked to that in many other verses the context of which can be acquired from my paper called Geneva 2065.

Further details can be extracted from other anagrams which imply the following themes:

quadrennials,  commences, mnemonics, defaulted, movements,

Aquariens, unsaluted, mementoes, starting, crimson,  darkness, garmented, sulfated, wasteland,

instead, complainers, reinstated, natural, unsalted, wetlands,

engravers, disc, unseal, proton, accident, portends, replica, destine, resident, unsteadier, chores, palace, forsent.

Hence there is good reason to conclude that Nostradamus used the emotional props of colour and locational allusion to drive and record his visions of our scientific research in our time.

Nostradamus C8 Q88: The triggers to visions of biological mutations at the end of 21stC.

In the first four verses that I have presented within the series showing the rituals Nostradamus' employed to trigger his experiences and their recall a pattern has begun in which flowers and colours are used as emotional stimulators for different spiritual levels. The text of this current verse has two topics which make it a candidate for holding more information on this theme. These two reference points are in the last two line with the third being highly suggestive of the use of several colours to deliver the required resonances and the fourth involves a trance like state where various forces come to life.
 

And there is enough in the nagrams to increase our interest for it holds anagrams for immortaliser, vineyard and sclerotium the last of which refers to a compact mass of hardened fungal mycelium containing food reserves. One role of sclerotia is to survive environmental extremes. There are also anagrams for comets and spores which fits closely to the ideas found throughout the prophecies in relation to objects from the sky delivering nutrients that change evolution on this planet. This then implies colours such as green, yellow and white linked to thoughts of these plants provided Nostradamus with entry to the realm of biological mutation. There is more to this story revealed by other anagrams but this part of the structure arises from:

quaestorians role retained (e tiendra- que trois ans - le ro), immortaliser ($omeil marrit), aspersion,  well source uprisal (ra Plusi -eurs co -ulleu), lands vineyard drainages (le Ro - y viendra - Dans l -a  Sardeign), quieten, sclerotium, spores, cosy, comets, evening, session.

Nostradamus C6 Q83: The ritual for investigating mutations in human learning.

 Nostradamus C6 Q83: The ritual for investigating mutations in human learning.

1st May 2015: This is the fourth verse in the series on how Nostradamus used emotions as part of his ritual to engage with his source and to then recall it for entry into his prophecies.

Over the years in which I have worked on Nostradamus' prophecies I have not reached a state where there are no new pleasures for I am constantly surprised at the extent to which these works fit in unexpected twists to my hypotheses. This verse is part of my series on the use of emotional devices Nostradamus used to create his prophecies. In order to progress my work I have deliberately chosen verses that I have not presented in full. The reason they have been ignored is that they didn't fit into the themes already established so I expected them to be difficult to interface however their links are strong and it is between themselves that it is strongest.

This was the third verse that I set out to present and I did so because it followed a different path to those already presented. Its interest came from the first line where there are anagrams for retraces (r et care$) and encounter (onneur et c) but amongst the anagrams in the verse there was also blue  Aquilege glade (de la G- ule B - elgique A) and this is a blue flower found in meadows and woodlands. In the previous verse (C6 Q72) of this series I had already found references to a violet flame and seen its alchemical significance so I felt comfortable with the strange reference. But I had begun my analysis for this analysis without regard to the text and when I focussed on the visible verse I gave a mild gasp of pleasured surprise for the last line contains reference to the flower.

And there are other anagrams that fit into the pattern of emotional stress being used to create resonances with past events and these include resonant (A $on entr) and neuron together with a full line of adjacent anagrams that say prefers a maps events attend duress   (es Vn te -mps a -pres fer -a -tant de - rude$$).

So this verse establishes its right to be considered a part of Nostradamus' explanation of his rituals and we might therefore anticipate that there will be a link to a God that refrences his theme  and in this regard the anagram for (A $on en) becomes relevant.

[Oannes] is described as dwelling in the Persian Gulf, and rising out of the waters in the daytime and furnishing mankind instruction in writing, the arts and the various sciences.

The validity of this name is backed by anagrams such as  ancestor (t $era con) quill (lliqu) and learnt (ntre a l). So as with the previous verse our attention is directed to the negative emotions of fear and hate but in this case the subject matter is human learning and literature. And the choice of blue and violet sets a spectral pattern where the violet flame of Spiritual transformation stands above the blue representing acquired knowledge.

The modern story hidden in the anagram reflects the tone of the text since it concerns a war involving a person whose stated aims are peaceful but which turns to betrayal of people of tolerance and learning. The anagrams that form the backbone to this tale include:

ancestor, un-flatterable, quill, truncheoned, un-enthroned, prefers, queerest, creatures, caresses, Oannes, aquose, Aquilege, belt, refutal, retraces, quay, encounter, recasts, understated, events, resonant, duress, neuron, aflare, alfa, retardant, libel, batten, un-throned.

Nostradamus C6 Q72: The emotions that drive future visions of religious repression.

Nostradamus C6 Q72: The emotions that drive future visions of  religious repression.
29th April 2015: This is the third in the series showing how Nostradamus prophecy sessions worked and were then translated into verse.

Centuries.6 Quatrain.72
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)

Through feigned fury of divine emotion
The wife of the great one will be violated
The judges wishing to condemn such a doctrine,
She is sacrificed a victim to the ignorant people.

Par fureur faincte d'e$motion diuine
Sera la femme du grand fort violee
Juges voulans damner telle doctrine
Victime au peuple ignorant imolee

Some verses contain very obvious clues as to their subject matter but four short poetic lines always holds too little for clarity. Given this dilemma there is only one possibility and that is that there is a code for linking that verse to others and finding key words that reveal details left out of the text.

The text of this verse mentions divine emotion and this clearly marks it as  commentary by Nostradamus on his method of achieving the right dream like state and then being able to recollect it once awake and set it down. My claim is that emotions are an essential part of memory recall when the subject matter has temporarily been forgotten and divine emotions imply this is his contact with the agent that provided his foresight into significant mutations of future times. In this verse it talks of a wife being violated while the first mentions feigned fury so it is no surprise to find anagrams for frantic (r fainct) and rapine (ine Par) in the first line. But the second line holds a greater affirmation of Nostradamus' intent since it holds clear anagrams 'for violet' (for - t viole) and 'flame release' (lee Sera - la fem).
 

Now the violet flame was a term suited to Nostradamus' time and it held special meaning to alchemists. It is related to self-transformation with the flame being the essence of a unique spiritual light. Mystics of all ages have glimpsed a "spiritual spectrum" behind the physical spectrum with the violet flame being associated with the qualities of mercy, forgiveness, freedom and transmutation.

Yet the tone of the text seems more vengeful than enlightened to our modern sense and it it is apparent that this disturbs Nostradamus. His verse is a condemnation of those who proclaim that enlightment underpins their cruel actions against those outside their realm of righteousness. His need when triggering the visions of this verse was then designed to build affinity with the mutations of future times and by the focus on the condemnation of a rape victim he draws forth a much more dire dream.
 

The modern story hidden in the anagram reflects the tone of the text since it concerns legal constraints on sexuality and racism introduced in the guise of God's word. The anagrams that form the backbone to this tale include:

interfaced, confederatism, rummaged, unfairer, sodomite, demotions, injector, injure,  recondite, emotions, unfair, vogues, antinegro, ovules, germination, motions, remands, frantic, eloping, regional, Girona, modest, mentorial, Eloim, motile, descent, motion, decent, frond, enticed, Eloise, damns, vice, most, argued, violet, flame, release, a flare.

 

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.

Nostradamus Rituals for producing his Prophecies. In mid April 2015 I set out to identify the quatrains and their content that disclose Nostradamus' mechanisms for transferring his nightly visions into a written form. I did so with great confidence for I no longer had any doubts that it would be there since I already knew the nature of Nostradamus' work as a whole and as a set of interwoven parts.   My confidence was based on the knowledge that I had successfully constructed the anagrams for all verses and that in their most polished form they produce a consistent story with great detail related to the written text. I also knew what to look for since I had spent considerable time understanding who Nostradamus was, the limits of future seeing, the nature of human evolution and the limitations and benefits that would bind his encounters. Those interesed in the scope of these issues are invited to access my papers such as  Future Seeing and In the Mind of a prophet. The latter is a gaming strategy I used to explore how future seeing might manifest itself and this current effort of mine is one outcome from those endeavours.  And the material has a substantial  foundation since I have published online over  fifty percent of all verses in fully analysed format. By the end of this year I will have eighty percent developed to a high level and published. To access all my published verses my page called Quatrain Map is the best means.   As a result of these earlier efforts I knew I was set to gather together those verses containing key words relevant to someone trying to recall experiences in a dream. My starting point is based on the properties of memory and the way that recall is aided by focussing on the emotions surrounding subliminal ideas.  There are also terms relevant to the physical or ethereal presence of the source for these determine the depth and quality of any dream. I hoped to find whether it was just voices, a single voice, an image or a mix of all these things that came to Nostradamus in his trances. The extent of integrity within the verses is demonstrable in many ways but one emerged as I identified verses holding key words and began work on the earliest of these quatrains (C1 Q26). This verse was identified as interesting because it held an  anagram of rituals plus other terms relevant to my search. But when I looked closely at other verses in my search list I found many including C1 Q26 contained an anagram for posture. At first this seemed to me to be of low import but on finding out its alternate meanings I found it not only refers to a physical stance but it can be applied to mental and spiritual attitude. Further the letters for posture form another word which is Proteus the name of a future-seeing Greek Sea God who is noted for the ability to change shape and form when forced to foretell the future. Both these options have obvious relevance to the  rationale behind this analysis. It is my intent to publish a link plus items relevant to each verse as I establish their full relevance. The first of these is C1 Q26. C1 Q26: Date 27/4 /2015  (Click far Left for full analysis) The wine based medication behind his visions. This quatrain reveals the mechanics of both Nostradamus trances and his means of recall each of which is essential in the difficult process of tranferring his prophecies onto paper.  That there is such a mechanism set out in his verses is to be expected whereas there absence would be difficult to explain. It is quite true, Sire, that my natural instinct has been inherited from my forebears, who did not believe in predicting, and that this is a natural instinct that I have adjusted. Together with my long calculations this [instinct] unifies and empties my soul, mind and heart of all care, solicitude and vexation. By repose and tranquillity of the spirit all is made ready for the presage and this is in part due to the brazen tripod. Nostradamus 1558 Letter to Henry -HEE3. The verse has a very powerful collection of anagrams centred around the ritual preparation of a wine based medication that Nostradamus used to aid his visions. The text gives the account of what he saw in one such vision which he acknowledges in part through the ambiguity of the first two lines. From the totality of this verse we see a program which fits to that he claimed he used which was to enter his visionary state in the night and to then pen these visions in the day by inducing a reflection of his nightly encounters. He does this by following an ancient ritual involving posture, a source of flame, procedure and the emotions that accompany all memories even when they are hidden. By using the emotions of strife, lust and unrest he produces the greatest rapport between the awakened and dream-like states thus enabling what he saw to be recovered. All of this can be found in his anagrams as shown below.   The anagrammatic structure is set by major anagrams such as: ungarlanded, limiters, confer, requests, heed, winters, fiercest, weirder, firelit, flow (u foul), Jews presageant (e Suiu - ant pre$age t), wines, mutage, replicated, thumbed, encounters, depict, Puritan, weird, rituals, unsure counter heed  (e d'he - ure noct - urne Su),  once fire filter (ifer -e Con - flit Re), Templar ritual posture rapport (tpar por -teur po$ -t ulair- Mal et pr ), reflection strife (stifer - e Conflit Re), unrest, enforce, Florence, unreal, presage, pre-Satan, stupor, garlanded, stage, count, surest, lust, foul, court, cried, endorse, wise, report, refit, pride.
