NOSTRADAMUS AND THE FUTURE.

anyone been watching the nostradamus effect on the history channel?  it has absolutely captivated me.  any of these “doomsday” tales are just enthralling– the world is ending in 2012!  the third anti-christ is so-and-so! or the line “it’s a sign of the coming apocalypse” (best when muttered on network news)!

some believe that nostradamus was involved with the occult.  nostradamus did write a few things about “out of body” experiences, or about being in a trance when he became “possessed”.  it just sounds like he was ill, brilliant, and eccentric.  according to the believers, he predicted things like the fire of london in 1666, the kennedy assassinations, hitler, and the september 11th attacks. he is considered a “seer” and a “prophet”.

oh, nostradamus.  during his lifetime, the plague was killing europe.  he studied medicine, worked as a “healer”, and treated plague victims.  he eventually became “royal physician” for the french.  and then, he predicted his own death.  and died.

this is a picture of the pope riding a dragon. and fighting a bear.

there’s also a tale of the “gaelic” nostradamus, or the brahan seer. no one really even knows or believes that he ever existed.  he “predicted” falling out among clan families, and quarrels about land.

BURNED IN TAR?

ah, so about nostradamus– the nostradamus effect is on the history channel.  the show is actually impressive.  here’s a clip from one of the episodes:
