Famous Psychics before the 21st century

 

In the early civilization and human years, a lot of people have been trying to search for a valid and dependable way or method to foretell the future events that may happen. Us humans have always been attracted and absorbed to the “what ifs” in life that controls and dictates what is yet to come or happen. There had been numerous methods, approaches, tools and instruments that was used and created to determine and discover the future but there is no accuracy within the data gathered by such techniques.

 

It came to a point where the people just rely on the people who have such special psychic abilities to predict the future. They are known as the “special ones”. The people with such capabilities were usually trained by priests and shamans of the time, passing their own religious knowledge and skills to be able to see into what is to come. But there are also others who were born with the ability to see what has yet to happen. These people are known to be the “gifted ones”.

 

Back in the 1800s, the people who claim to have supernatural abilities or psychic powers started exposing and uncovering themselves to the public and showed off and shared their psychic abilities to the people. The knowledge about spiritual forces and growth suddenly became popular back then that even the noblemen and noblewomen were fascinated with psychic abilities, thus allowing themselves to obtain and practice certain psychic abilities.

 

A lot of the gifted psychics before are still being remembered today by a lot of people, ordinary or gifted themselves. It means that they have left good predictions of the future and people are still anticipating it up until today. Here is a list of the famous psychics in the 18th and 19th century.

Delphic Oracle

 

Another common name for the Oracle of Delphi is Pythia. She was the high priestess in the Temple of Apollo located in Delphi, hence, the name that she is popular for up until today. Pythia came from the Greek word Pytho which was the original name of Delphi. The place Pythia was very popular in the 8th century BC because of the oracle’s accurate predictions and prophecies. It is believed that her prophecies were stimulated and energized by being permeated by the spirit of the gods, in this certain place, Apollo’s energy.

Michel de Nostredame

 

Michel de Nostredame, more popularly known as Nostradamus, was born on either the 14th or the 21st of December in 1503 and died on the 1st or 2nd of July in 1566. He was a famous medical practitioner, astrologer and prophet back then. He wrote a book titled with Les Propheties, which is mostly a set or collection of poems with four lines and a rhyme, and was published in 1555. He was born and raised as a Roman Catholic by parents who were originally Jewish.

 

After Nostradamus wrote and published his book, Les Propheties, he had earned and established a number of followers, supporters and believers of his prophecies, saying that his predictions and forecasts about the events and happening all over the globe are accurate and precise. But of course, he also gained a lot of nonbelievers and skeptic academics that refuses and rejects the idea that his poems or quatrains are instantaneously connected and associated with the current and future world events. They say that his prophecies are very indistinct, vague and unclear that it can be related or associated to just about anything that could happen. This made them think if Nostradamus had real psychic abilities or supernatural powers. Lastly, the nonbelievers of this generation claim that the translators of Nostradamus’ quatrains had edited his prophecies and predictions to fit whatever he said to the current happenings and events in our world. So basically, they meant to say that the public was lead to believe that Nostradamus had accurate predictions because his translators and believers had emphasized it in a way that it looks like it is accurate and precise.

 

Nevertheless, Nostradamus is believed to be one of the first real and genuine psychic as his name has lived up with his prophecies and predictions until this present generation, more or less five hundred years ago.

 

He had a wife whom he married in 1531 and she gave him two children. In 1534, they passed away because of the plague that had spread widely during their time. After his family crossed the great divide, he continued to travel to learn and share his medical abilities, assisting physicians and doctors during the widespread plague. When he came back from Italy, he started focusing and concentrating more in the occult than his knowledge in medicine. He remained a Roman Catholic by faith while he focused on necromancy, horoscopes, astrology and foretelling the future. This is when various people from all over the continent or people, mostly the elite, who lived far away from him started to go to him for psychic advices and fortune telling. With this, a lot of people thought he was related to doing evil things, insane or a charlatan. Although, a lot of people admire him for his abilities as well, including the wife of King Henry II of France, who is named Catherine de Medici.

 

Nostradamus died on the 1st or 2nd of July in 1566 due to his gout that turned into edema. He was suffering from this for a long time already. On the night of his death, he told Jean de Chavigny, his trusted secretary, “You will not find me alive at sunrise”. Which really happened and they saw Nostradamus dead on the floor just beside his bed.
