Nostradamus C1 Q70: Nostradamus details the occult symbols of war employed by Agrippa.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

In this verse Nostradamus places some of the ideas of Cornelius Agrippa into his own context. Its anagrams show it to be a description of a magic ritual practised by the Magi of Persia. The following reference to what is an obscure but relevant place can be found in Agrippa's The Third Book of Occult Magic:

as to Pallas, who is called Minerva, were consecrated  Athens, the mountains Pyreus, Aracynthus, the River Tritones, and Alcomeneum a city of Boetia, and Neo one of the Islands of the Cyclades..Cornelius Agrippa Bk 3

The anagrams providing the frame for understanding this verse include:

1. image reurge once preseen scene peels five
2. Roman qoran realm equal forty topografy  Harira grant'd
3. Alcomeneum peace flair in gene engine  men replace if final filarial commence
4. Europa veterans guru prevents Parques create power supernovae vapour grew

C1 Q70

Rain, famine and war will not cease in Persia;
too great a faith will betray the monarch.
By the finish of that started in Gaule,
a secret sign for one to be sparing.

Pluie faim guerre en Perſe non ceſſee
La foy trop grand trahira le monarque
Par la finie en Gaule commencee
Secret augure pour a vn eſtre parque.
