Nostradamus C1 Q08: The 16thC religious divide underpinning the 22ndC war of the Holy Grail
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, 2022
There are many verses where the anagrams defy the odds that they are the
products of chance and this is one of them. One anagram that acts as a
focal point for this verse has an unusual distribution. It is that for
Ravestein (L2: res et vain.. L4: ra tes vein) and it occurs in two lines here
but only in two other verses.
In
C8 Q06 Nostradamus derides the writer
called Tiletanus who attacked 'heretical-views' as denounced in the Council of
Trent. Now Tiletanus was a pseudonym for
Josse Ravestein
so this name directs our attention to ecclestiatical debate in the late
16th century. And to this end it is notable that this verse also holds anagrams for
evangelistaries (ira
tes veines La g),
evangelisers (es
veines La gr),
evangelises
(es veines La g),
monasterial (aire
Ton mal s'),
sepulchres (che. Plus ſer),
San Grael (es
La gran),
Graals (s La gra) and
evilness (s veines
L).
But there are anagrams related to the modern era and those related to the
16th century are the couriers of the culture that besets our future. Anagrams that define this include
the sequence filling the whole of the first line saying
define
precisions isolate
microbe
(ien de f_ois prinſe c_ite ſola_ire
Comb).
Then there are,
varieties (ira tes vei),
inspires (is prinſe),
epoch (0che P),
eras changes
(Sera_s change) and esoterical biome
(te ſolaire C_ombie)
. And the third line also offers anagrams using each
and every letter only once
plasma
scrophules era reattribution (mal s'ap _proche. Plus ſ_era_tr ibutaire
Ton). This barrage of connnections to seemingly
relevant issues is too large to be the product of chance. By its presence
and the prominence of the anagrams for licentious and seduction in
the paired verse it isolates sexual behaviour as a factor that Nostradamus'
thought reflected the decadence of the two centuries on which he wrote.
Evilness as found in the last line's anagrams is one of the synonyms for
decadence and its presence makes it a likely place for that theme to be
developed by Nostradamus within this set of five paired verses. I opted
to pair C1 Q58 with
C1 Q64 because
their content makes a bridge between his own life time and modern events
impacting directly on the areas in which he lived.

Scrofula
(Scrophules) had a special place in the divine right of
English and French kings who by the touch of a hand were supposed to be
able to dispel the plasma and cure this tubercular disease.
C1 Q08
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)
How often will you be captured, O city of the sun Changing laws
that are barbaric and vain. Bad times approach you. More will be
dependent. Great Hadrie will revive your veins.
Combien de fois prinſe cite ſolaire Seras changeant les loys
barbares et vaines Ton mal s'approche. Plus ſera tributaire La
grand Hadrie recourira tes veines.
