Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies

Product Information

In North Yorkshire, along the River Nidd, one can find the birthplace of Ursula Southeil, better known as the soothsayer Mother Shipton. Through it all, the mysterious creature known as the Mothman haunts the old dynamite testing range and a stranger named Indrid Cold taunts Keel with weird revelations. He also discovers that powerful figures within the Peruvian government and the Catholic Church are opposed to the dissemination of the material found in the manuscript. This is dramatically illustrated when the police try to arrest and then shoot the historian after his arrival. Threats to his life forced the narrator to live nomadically, moving from town to town in search of kind-hearted people who would offer lodging in exchange for more information about the manuscript and its message. As her reputation grew, so too did belief in her abilities, enabling her to make a living out of her prophecies.

Since the book came out, virtually every single quatrain has come nearly or completely true,” claimed Mario. “I can really stand there and say, hand on heart, go and look at the early editions - nothing has changed.” Les Prophéties ( The Prophecies) is a collection of prophecies by French physician Nostradamus, the first edition of which appeared in 1555 by the publishing house Macé Bonhomme. His most famous work is a collection of poems, quatrains, united in ten sets of verses ("Centuries") of 100 quatrains each.

Some believed that the child’s conception was the work of the Devil, with many accusing Agatha too of being a witch. Such tales would only add to the mystery and intrigue surrounding Ursula, however her life would be beset by personal tragedy leading to her estrangement from the community once again. Only two years after marrying, Tobias Shipton passed away, leaving her to become a social outcast once more as some cast aspersions as to the circumstances of his death. Poor Agatha would die a few years later at the nunnery, never having been reunited with her daughter. None of this has to stop you from enjoying the book as a well-told series of unsettling anecdotes, which it is. I also don't discount the possibility that Keel intended at least some of it as a joke. At any rate, that is a part of the book that I appreciated- that Keel had a very dry and absurd sense of humor, which I think is evidenced in his choice of chapter titles. Below are my top eight.

Redfield originally self-published The Celestine Prophecy, selling 100,000 copies out of the trunk of his car before Warner Books agreed to publish it. [1]

First off I'd like to mention that I have never been interested in UFOs or 'aliens'. This is fairly obvious given the title of my GR shelf for such books. Everybody knows about Nostradamus, but few have read him. Richard Sieburth’s glittering translation rescues one of the world’s most arcane texts from the realm of hearsay, and renders its strange poetry palpable and moving.”— John Ashbery,Pulitzer Prize–winning poetPart of what stood out about the Mothman stories, as Keel takes pains to document, is that the people who reported Mothman sightings did not seem like the publicity-seeking “weirdos” that a parapsychologist or UFOlogist often encounters. Rather, they were ordinary people characteristic of their conservative, patriotic, faith-oriented region – like Tad Jones, with whom Keel talked about a UFO sighting near Charleston, West Virginia. “A gentle, handsome man in his thirties, Mr. Jones was a deeply religious person who did not smoke or drink” (p. 96). And it is worth noting that, more than 50 years after the time of the Mothman sightings, none of those who reported the sightings published retractions or issued deathbed confessions. Those people – nice, ordinary Americans – truly seemed to believe that they had seen something.
