Nostradamus C04 Q25: The prophet dreams the Nordic rune song of life and death
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, Jan 2023
Verse
C4 Q25 is paired with C7 Q36
because it deals with the impact that ideas with ancient origins
may have on the future of humankind.
This verse is intriguing because of a sense of importance
conveyed through its enigmatic
wording.
Lofty bodies endlessly visible to the eye, Through these
reasons they will come to obscure: Body, forehead included, sense
and head invisible, Diminishing the sacred prayers.
Yet
it reflects the idea that astronomy is an important part of his code and
it mentions aspects that seem to want to be part of the mystery in the
first pair of verses in this series.
It reads like a drug filled mind that sees the dreamer drifting
in a visionary world where older constraints no longer apply and it reads
much like the Song of Odin when he hung for nine days on the Tree of Life.
It is in this quite enigmatic emotional setting that the anagrams act to
ease the mind
There are powerful anagrams right at the beginning of the verse that
confirm this for they tell us this is about a
unmissable process (es Corps_ ſublimes
ſans).
This takes on an air of relevance because of the last line of text
which alludes to a process as part of a prayer.
What makes all the above unmissable is anagrams for
Odinisms, luminant minds and
two anagrams for Sibl with
another anagram for process
adjacent to one of the Sibl entries (ſibl_es
Corps). There is one other critical anagram that occurs
in the first line; that for Alfonsine(ns final oe)
for that is the name applied to a 13th century astronomy table
still used in Nostradamus' day.
The entry for this topic in Wikipedia says 'The Alfonsine
Tables...provided data for computing the position of the Sun, Moon and
planets relative to the fixed stars. The tables were named after Alfonso
X of Castile, who sponsored their creation.'
This verse like C7 Q36 therefore presents several agencies that are seen
by Nostradamus as origins inspiring human actions but which by his
choices indicates some level of disquiet as to the way they are used.
