Who was Nostradamus?

Nostradamus is a controversial figure. His many enthusiasts, as well as the popular

press, credit him with predicting numerous major world events. Interest in his work

is still considerable, especially in the media and in popular culture. By contrast,

most academic scholars maintain that the associations made between world events and

Nostradamus‘ quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or

mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them

useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power.

In addition to the belief that some historical figures were endowed with a

predisposition to tarot readings readings experiences, some psychic abilities were thought to be

available to everyone on occasion. For example, the belief in prophetic dreams was

common and persistent in many ancient cultures.
