Goodbye Nostradamus, hello Yule,
This review is from: Mother Shipton: The Missing Prophecies (Paperback)
Mother Shipton: The Missing Prophecies takes over where old Nos apparently left off, and where Mother Shipton alias Hindley seems to have forgotten the script. This means that Yule and Austin essentially concentrate on giving us the 21st century in detail, and so far they haven't got anything seriously wromg except some spelling mistakes, which might have been deliberate. This book was 22 years in its gestation. Essentially, it is the work of an Australian, Miss Frances Yule, with additions by Anthony Austin who also wears the hat of arranger and editor, and the enigmatic Piachi Diddicoy. The result is a series of dated predictions that commence in 1990 and end in the fourth millennium, about 3035. My guess is that half relate to the 21st century. Some 20 predictions have been fulfilled already, including 9/11, which had it been missed, would have rendered the work somewhat dubious. Characters such as Rudy Giuliani, both Presidents Bush, and Vice-President Cheney, as well as Osama bin Laden are easily identifiable in the verses from cursory descriptions that hit the mark and give dates that are very close to the facts. Here too we find viagra and the 2003 shuttle disaster, clearly dated, to mention but two of the fulfilled predictions. Editor and contributor Austin commented - "People will not believe until they are given a sign. That is never enough for them. They demand another sign, up to and including a request to move that there mountain someplace else. All prophets have that problem." This book is not recommended for those who might be prone to nightmares. In the authors' opinion, the 21st century will be precisely that, and the 22nd might be worse.

Mother Shipton starts where Nostradamas leaves off,

This review is from: Mother Shipton: The Missing Prophecies (Paperback)
I must say that I have spent most of my adult life studying prophecies and listening to any prophets no matter how strange they seemed just looking for similarities that might confirm or overlap with all of the others I have heard. I had never heard of a Mother Shipton before and was quite intrigued who this person was and what her prophecies might be. I think the author did a great job organizing and footnoting this complicated string of prophecies.
I highly recommend it as a great addition to any library filled with books about the future.
