How people could be stupid enough to believe them is beyond me." ( ) An odd, slim, little hardback volume. The title uses an incorrect word, "prophesies," and there is no editor, i.e. translator and annotator, indicated. There are creepy new agey illustrations. There is a brief biographical sketch, the complete translated texts of the Preface and Epistle, and a selection of prophecies from all ten centuries. The prophecies are in translation, the original is not given, and underneath each is a curt explanation in brackets. "The death of Franklin Roosevelt" for Q1.100, or "Leoni sees discovery of an ancient temple" for Q8.5. Hardly a great exegetical work! Still, it serves as a sort of index for the major interpretations of Roberts, Leoni, and the like, and a "greatest hits" of the prophecies. Mainly this is a primer, and, even though odd and dated, it is still better than the books by Mario Reading (or, for that matter, more truthful than those of Dolores Cannon). A masterful collection of all extant Nostradamus prophecies. Hogue's interpretations of past events are thought-provoking and generally on, but his predictions for the future tend toward the liberal, neo-hippie line. For instance "King of Terror" is global warming, and Christianity is a stagnant religion that must be Easternized. I doubt the Judaeo-Christian Nostradamus, even if inclined to the occult, would have written about the inadequacies of Western civilization and Christianity. no reviews | add a review

Here are the complete prophecies of Nostradamus. Nostradamus is the best known and most accurate mystic and seer of all times. There are those who say that he predicted Napoleon and even the attack on the World Trade Center. Read the prophecies and judge for yourself. Since governments, sects and countries will undergo such sweeping changes, diametrically opposed to what now obtains, that were I to relate events to come, those in power now - monarchs, leaders of sects and religions - would find these so different from their own imaginings that they would be led to condemn what later centuries will learn how to see and understand. - Nostradamus.
