Nostradamus C4 Q29: The Ritual for initiating and completing the 21stC Comet prophecies.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015
The story of this verse is the impact of the comet Apep on the
world. From the comet comes bionomic material that enriches the pastures of
Herculean Africa. And by including the anagram for
ritual Nostradamus is declaring how he gained and remembered his dream; he
focussed on the emotional
qualities of Vulcan and Hermes to initiate
and remember his vision.
The text of this verse immediately places it into the cluster of verses
that describe Nostradamus' method of obtaining and presenting his
prophecies. This is affirmed in the anagrams where one of the Prophecies'
ten anagrams for
ritual/s(rutila)
is found.
This verse clearly has an astronomic tone which can lead to a specific
date.
The sun hidden eclipsed by Mercury will be placed second in the
sky can be taken as an eclipse
the moon since this is the only
means by which it can hidden and be second in the sky but there is also an
eclipse by Mercury which limits the
possible periods.
The sun
hidden also suggest it is at night. The fourth line implies the
reemergence of the sun from behind the moon as dawn breaks while in the
anagrams there is
verseau (
ſera
veu) which in French means Aquarius and this
identifies the period from 20th January to 19th February in any modern
year.
Now the anagrams of the second line introduce a twist to the tale of a
type Nostradamus often uses; it introduces two distintinctive names,
Ermesinda (
d Ne ſera mi)
and
Cecile
's
power (
ue pour - le ciel ſec)
that define an epoch of two branches of the de Foix family lineage in the
early part of the thirteenth century. The second line also has anagrams
for second-line see Marquis recouple (iel ſecondN -e
ſe - ra mis qu-e pour le c)and this relates to the re-uniting of the
two branches in 1314CE when Bernard VIII de Comminges married Nathe l'Isle
d'Jourdain. The device used by Nostradamus is to use historically
locatable events to set a period of 177 years that is
854 years in
the future (from 1989CE to 2168CE), a period defined by the perfect cycle
of planets which he describes in full in his Epistle to Henry 1558.
(See my paper on
Floods for full coverage of this topic).
The third line holds anagrams for
Herculean (
e Vlcan
Her)
Africa
(ra faic) and this
provides a location where the real action of the story takes place. That
action involves a comet
Apeps
(
pse pa) fight path and the release of material in the
pastured (
paſture
D) regions of Northern Africa.

Extra Info:
The form of the verse tells us that it belongs with a group consisting of
C4 Q25,
C4 Q28,
C4 Q29,
C4 Q30
andC4
Q33 and
C2 Q13.
Their narrative is meant to be for internal consumption of a small band of
his contemporaries and in this group of verses the planets, stars and the
parts of the body are interchangable ciphers referencing members of
Nostradamus' sect.
