Nostradamus C09 Q14: N's nightly ritual linked to ancient lunar calendars.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This is a most peculiar verse whose text I believe is a description of Nostradamus visionary technique.

The cauldron is the bowl he places over a flame and it contains seven banned substances that he drops into a base liquid. As it warms it releases fumes.

The anagrams provide support to this idea.

The first line begins with ' My lunar pens each ruled (My - s en p - lanur -e cha -ulder),  suggesting the intimacy of himself, his writing and his nightly ritual.

There are also anagrams such as forewarns (ſur forneau) and auspex (aux Sep) that affirm it is about the process of prophecy.

One of the many issues raised in this verse involve the nature of his calendar and it does so by inserting anagrams such as lunar (lanur), Yule (uyle), tidal (al dit)  and Seaborne (s bornea). These are all relevant reference points for lunar calendars derived from both Sumer and the Nordic Sagas.
