Nostradamus & Other Prophets and Seers | Free Book
The ability to see into the future and to accurately predict events
has fascinated and yet frightened man for thousands of years. As far
back as 4,000 BC the Sumerians consulted sages who would pronounce
on important matters and advise on courses of action. In this
riveting new account, the predictions of the most famous sages and
seers from the dawn of civilization are looked at in detail. One of
the best known of these visionaries was Nostradamus, and indeed his
prophecies and predictions form the core of this book.
Illustrated
throughout, Nostradamus & Other Prophets and Seers examines the
role of astrology, alchemy and arcane knowledge in prophecy. Most
intriguingly, it tries to answer that age-old question of whether
there is such a thing as 'secret knowledge' and whether it is
possible for mere mortals to access it.
