Nostradamus, Michael (1503-66)
Popular
French
physician and astrologer whose predictions of the future have fascinated people for
centuries.
Born in
Provence in 1503 of Jewish descent, Michael de Nostredame (later called Nostradamus) acquired fame
as a doctor by treating victims of the plague, but he eventually turned more to astrology and metaphysics. In 1555 he completed the
Centuries, a book of more than 900 predictions about the fate of France, the world, and
celebrated persons of his time. The title of the book refers to the fact that the contents
are arranged in sections of 100 verses each. An expanded version was published in 1558.
His prophecies are written as four-lined
rhymed verses (quatrains) in vague, often cryptic language. His fondness for anagrams and
his penchant for sprinkling his verses with Hebrew, Latin, and Portuguese words further
complicates interpretation of his predictions. Some interpreters say the verses can be
applied to anything, or nothing, whereas others claim that various verses foretold the
Great Fire of London in 1666, the deaths of several monarchs, details of the French
Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and Hitler and World War II.
Because Nostradamus
included very few dates in his prophecies and because, additionally, he did not organize
them into a chronological order, the verses have been constantly reinterpreted since their
publication. The Centuries remains a classic of the occult literature and hundreds of
studies of it have been published.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the

occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.

Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
