Skeptics of Nostradamus state that his reputation as a prophet is largely manufactured by modern-day supporters who shoehorn his words into events that have either already occurred or are so imminent as to be inevitable, a process known as "retroactive clairvoyance".

Nostradamus claimed to base his predictions on judicial astrology – basically, the assessment of the 'astrological quality' of expected future events – but was heavily criticised by the professional astrologers for assuming that, thanks to what might be termed 'comparative horoscopy' (comparison of future planetary configurations with the astrology of known past events), it could predict the actual events themselves. Recent research has indeed shown that most of his prophetic work was based on paraphrasing collections of ancient e ...

Nostradamus enthusiasts have credited him with predicting numerous events in world history, including the French Revolution, the atom bomb, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Indeed, they regularly make similar claims regarding each new world crisis as it comes along, for the most part shamelessly twisting either the words or the events to fit (see specific examples below).

Born in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in the south of France in December 1503, Michel de Nostredame was the son of a grain dealer who was also a prosperous home-grown notary.

The names of Nostredame's known forebears seem to reflect this. While practice of the ...
