Was Nostradamus a clairvouyant, a psychic, a doctor, a medium, witch or a poet? Was he just a creative fake?

Yes, all of the above, to some extent.  He went to school in Paris to become a doctor, but there is no record of him actually graduating.  He became an itinerant doctor during the Black Plague, but became interested in the afterlife when his own wife and son were killed by the plague.  He began publishing an almanac which contained predictions, like many other almanacs of the time, but he became famous when one of his predictions seemed to come true. He claimed the king would be killed when "Golden Cage was pierced" (he was killed in a jousting match when his opponent's lance acidently splintered and went through the front of his helmet).  The queen then had him do a reading on each of her children, and he told her that each would be a king or queen.  It only came true because many succeeded each other when they died early, but he was still right.  He wrote many of his predictions in quattrains which were so general that you could read about anything you wanted to into them.

I believe we are all divine.....and that "psychic abilities" are just listening to the "God" within all of us who is all-knowing.  If everyone took enough time and effort to meditate and listen....they would be amazed at what they would hear and know (that others would call psychic).\n\nMy other belief is that the Devil or Darkness, is simply the absence of God (or Light).   The Devil is not a "thing".....\nFor example, when you turn the light on in a dark room, the darkness does not "go away" (it is not a thing).  The darkness exists only when the light is not there.\n\nSo therefore, seek for answers and look for guideance from higher sources and you won't have to worry about the dark (or devil).\n\nJust my thoughts.....

Yes of course they are real. Keep in mind psychics do not only tell the future. They can also sense what is going on in your life at the moment, some can sense illnesses, some can communicate with those who have passed on, some can do healing, and so on. The list is endless. Some have multiple skills, some only have one skill.\n\nAlso every single person has the ability to be psychic, it just only means to be more aware of everything about yourself and your surroundings. It is not just limited to a select few. It just only takes a sincere desire to learn more about yourself and who you are. When you do that, your intuition just naturally improves over time. It just means you pay more attention to what comes to you and take notice.\n\nAlso just because one psychic is a scammer and uses its a form of con for money does not mean that all psychics are scammers. If one doctor is a bad doctor practicing bad medicine, does that mean all doctors are bad? It is just a a matter of using common sense about the person. They should empower you, not make you feel like you are helpless. They should communicate in very loving and a wise way, never in fearful statements. You should also feel good about the reading. \n\nThe word psychic has been applied to people who are not even that skilled. The skill level varies from person to person. I've had spontaneous psychic and clairvoyant moments, but I do not call myself psychic because that is a too heavy a responsiblity, and I in no way am going to mislead people with that word, you know what I am saying?

Mabus is the 3rd Antichrist, predicted by Nostradamus. The other two are interpreted as Napoleon and Hitler. It is also believed that Mabus lived in a time where it is unknown who are the "good guys" and who are the "bad guys."

No. This is a common misconception, though, which was taken advantage of by numerous false 'psychic' mediums. They said that in order to confirm to the mark that they were 'of God'. Of course, that didn't work when the contacee realized that their dearly departed wasn't a Christian! \nDemons are perfectly capable of saying ANYTHING in order to deceive us, even saying 'Jesus is Lord'. They just don't mean it.

Yes witchcraft really exists !\nHere are the different types of magic that I have heard of\n\nTheurgy~ uses the power of the divine \n\nNecromancy~ usually used to communicate with the dead\n\nThaumaturgy~ is ecstatic energy raising usually for healing\n\nLedgerdemain~ which is like slight of hand or more akin to stage magic but still utilzed by occultists to gain a certian effect (like muhammad putting birdseed in his ears so that it looked like the birds were whispering to him)\n\nSympathetic Magic~ where like effects like, voodoo dolls, poppets, other effegies such as drawings, pictures etc etc..it requires a personal effect for the person you wish to affect, for example blood, hair, swea,t fingernail clippings, belly button lint etc...\n\nRitual or ceremonial magic~ which requires alot of tools & pomp & ceremony \n\nDivination~ is a method for telling past present & future events\n\n sorcery~ which is a pragmatic magic that is more like a direct give & take...\n\nthose are all that i can think of off hand... Magic is not color coded, ( there is no black white pink grey red etc) magic is energy directed to achieve a goal or purpose...

Some say Nostradamus predicted a king dieing in a josting match sometime during his life in the 16th century.  This gave him some fame as a profit.  Some of believers favorite alleged predictions concern 3 tyrants.  Napoleon being the first with Hitler being the second.   They say he predicted war in Germany with most armies against the, "Hister."  The third they say has yet to emerge.  Which makes it fun to speculate.  They will always wonder about the current bad guys in the news.  The third tyrant is suppose to where a blue turban.  Hmmmm, I wonder what color of turban Osama Bin Ladin has been whereing lately.  As to the, "hister," quote, it is said that the danube river use to be called the, "Ister."  Their is a lot of sceptisism involving this so called profit.  His predictions are so vague, about any event could be fit into almost any prediction.  Penn of Penn and Teller once asked, "where were Nostradomus people on 9/10?"  One reasuring prediction is that the end of the world won't happen until sometime in the 38th century.  Sorry millinium doomsdayers.

I think some people have made money by interpreting selected bits to fit events as they occur.  Nostradamus is adequately cryptic to use for this purpose.  People who are too busy for fortune-tellers are usually more productive.

Sorry my friend.....There is NO such thing as "psychic" ability.  There is a guy named Dr. James Randi who has offered $1 million to ANYBODY who can statistically prove ANY "paranormal" or "psychic" ability.....Nobody has collected and the money has been in a trust account for years.  He has publicly challenged every psychic from Jean Dixon to John Edwards and they are to afraid to show up and endure the public humiliation.

Nostradamus?  that was in the 16th century though...

Probably Nostradamus.  If you type in his name in a search engine, you will get oodles of information.  There are also many, many books written about his prophecies.

I think a lot, if not most psychics are fake. I do believe that there are people who have "the power," but would never make themselves a fortune teller because it sounds completely wrong to sell your talent.

we're in the third dimension. . Talking to your soul is a matter of trusting your intuition, and yes, witches are real\n\nA line is one dimensional. A piece of paper is sort of two dimensional. And a basketball is three dimensional. This is important to conceptualizing our relationship with the spiritual. \n\nImagine a piece of paper. Now imagine a race of 2 dimensional stick people living on the paper. You (living in this three dimensional reality) see one of these stick people, and you say, "hey you!" the stick man looks around, but there's no one near him on the page. You say, "Hey, I'm talking to you," and you push on the man against the paper. He feels an odd and unnerving sensation for which he has no ability to understand. You press yourself against the page, and a sort of shadow of yourself appears on the page. This is very much like the relationship which we have with beings from the other realm. Humans exist in a primarily 3 dimensional universe, but scientists predict that there are many other dimensions.Whether or not this is exactly what is going on, it feels a lot like what is going on.\n\nIntuition is the key to tapping into the spiritual realm. Develop that through meditation, singing bowls, or divination tools such as tarot cards, runes, pendulum, scrying, magic 8 ball, whatever\n\nWitches are very real. I'll be with about a thousand in a week\n\nI once saw a one legged witch turn a storm.\n\nMy first ritual, we were all comfortable throughout the ritual, but the instant the ritual ended, we realized that the room was cold. The heat hadn't been on and the whole time and it was spring equinox.\n\nI do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could put healing energy into people and tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nFor a while, a witch and I maintained a karmic connection through an object which was divided and each of us kept half, and sometimes I would smell something, and call her up, and it was exactly what she was smelling.\n"Did you just make cookies?"\n"Was the dog just breathing in your face?"\n"Did you just disinfect something?"

It may be real but not because of the person's abilities...they would want to think it is, because this would make them look exceptional. however, the actual source of supernatural information only comes from a supernatural source. The sources can either be God, in a prophetic way, or it can be demonic...\n\nusually people who call themselves psychics have taped into the demonic... be careful,, they will lead you on for awhile and then tell you the biggest lie...this is the nature of demonic spirits to deceive people..once they have your trust.\n\nOnly God-via godly people- can tell you things without deception...and will tell the truth 100% of the time.....if you care about yourself, you will trust God , and not the psychics, so you will not get hurt...most psychics are lousey, anyhow, and just want your money
