Nostradamus C2 Q23: Method behind the madness of studying birds.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015
Nostradamus took a keen interest in the way the world had
been perceived up until his own day but that interest was for observation
and comparison purposes to more easily define that which is yet to
come.
The text of this verse has several references to birds and they make sense when considered as metaphors for soothsayers whose place in royal palaces diminished with time. But in the future these will come to be highly regarded once more.
Of the anagrams supporting this idea the one for auspex ( ſeaux p) has highest significance for it is another term for an augur, a person who foretells the future through the study of birds. The reason behind this verse is Nostradamus wish to show that many ancient practices had practical elements based on observations of worldly concepts that should not be ignored. This theme is carried into verse C2 Q26.
