Nostradamus C6 Q96: Timescale for great war and Pandora's calamitous gifts
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

Verse C6 Q96 is one of those referenced by Nostradamus as part of his major story lines. This is achieved by it being one of those that uses a form of the focus word calamitous from his 1558 Henry Epistle. Inthis verse's third line of text it says

This verse at both the text and anagram level sets the signs that can be seen at the time of the hideous calamity at the heart of Nostradamus' Prophecies.

The nature of the text in Nostradamus' quatrains yields much about each verse's intent. Those that achieve this goal tend to offer a well-defined scale but it is insufficient by itself and needs to be placed alongside other verses.

Yet there is no reasonable logic to his having chosen events in a far distant future other than that these events are far more significant than all those in between. And there is also no logic for a man of the sixteenth century to become involved if all he could offer was the recording of an inescapable set of events that the earth survives.

This rationale vindicates the use of anagrams and in this particular verse they transform its understanding dramatically; what becomes apparent using the anagrams and textis it focuses on a particular period of time experiencing atmospheric and climate disasters.

The anagrams that set the verse for this task form a cluster as can be seen by examining the analysis chart given below. Many stand out and this includes societal, declarations, Pandora, atmospherical-space and spaceport.

And the inclusion of the name Pandora in the anagrams illustrates this well since it is a perfect cipher for the release of manifold ills. To this the anagram for Hippocrates offers another dimension for for this name can act as a cipher for all things medical.

I paired this verse with C6 Q96 because of both holding an an anagram of atmospheric relevance that has great modern potency  in the light of the types of turmoil that are common sub themes of both.

Great city abandoned to the soldiers,
Never was mortal tumult so close to it:
Oh, what a hideous calamity draws near,
Except one offense nothing will be spared it.

Grand cite a ſoldatz abandonnee
Onques n'y euſt mortel tumult ſi proche
O quel hideuse calamite s'approche
Fors vne offence n'y sera pardonnee.
