Nostradamus C1 Q19: The legends that generate the prophets visions of a new ape species.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

Nostradamus read the future by using emotive triggers so what we see in his verse is often a mix of these allusions with defining elements that show the part they place as prophecies. One of the common sources for Nostradamus is the Nordic legends and so his first line of text talks of Serpents and the anagrams of that same line mention the Nordien circuit with twists that give it a tricircular role while in the next line we have astrogeny (beliefs about the creation of the stars). The circuit described by these anagrams is similar to the image I have used for the backgound to this page which represents the World Serpent in Norse astrogeny and it illustrates the tale of the serpent encircling the World and forming a closed circuit by holding its tail in its mouth.There is a second theme raised by 'the Trojan blood' in which the anagrams of that same line are dominated by one for Laestrygones  (giant blood-drinking cannibals named in Homer's Odysseus).

Anagrams that help in giving meaning to this verse include:

1. Pensive Nordien circuit tricircular_roles envies supervene 
2. Nogarets negatory astrogeny lineages envy Laestrygones agileness
3. Africa_serene_era repeat bondman ape rule
4. UXA huffier caginess assign each dreams DNA lineages circuit

# Laestrygones :a tribe of giant blood-drinking cannibals from ancient Greek mythology.
# astrogeny: the creation or evolution of the stars or the heavens.

C1 Q19
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)

When the snakes surround the altar,
and the Trojan blood is troubled by the Spanish.
Because of them, a great number will be lessened.
The leader flees, hidden in the swampy marshes.

Lors que ſerpens viendront circuirlare
Le ſang Troyen vexe par les Eſpaignes
Par eulx grand nombre en ſera faicte tare
Chef fruict, cache aux mares dans les ſaignes
