The Collapse of Mankind - Shocking Revelations in Ancient Prophecies! You Won't Believe What They Predicted! (And Maybe You Shouldn't)


surrealist AI end of time prophecy

In the dimly lit corridors of Europe's shadowy past, amidst the swirling mists of mysticism and madness, lie the cryptic enigmas of prophetic writings. To traverse these murky waters, one must embark on a voyage through the annals of time, where seers and sages peered into the abyss and returned with visions that rattled the very foundations of reality.

In this kaleidoscope of clairvoyance, one figure looms large, a spectral presence haunting the recesses of medieval lore: Merlin, the enigmatic wizard of Arthurian legend. Born of a union between a mortal woman and an incubus, Merlin emerged from the primordial chaos as a harbinger of destiny. His famed prophecies cast a spell of intrigue upon the minds of kings and commoners alike.

From them shall the stars turn away their faces, and confound their usual course. Corn will wither at their malign aspects; and there shall fall no dew from heaven. The roots and branches will change their places, and the novelty of the thing shall pass for a miracle. The brightness of the sun shall fade at the amber of Mercury, and horror shall seize the beholders. Stilbon of Arcadia shall change his shield; the helmet of Mars shall call Venus. The helmet of Mars shall make a shadow; and the rage of Mercury pass his bounds. Iron Orion shall unsheath his sword: the marine Phœbus shall torment the clouds; Jupiter shall go out of his lawful paths; and Venus forsake her stated lines. The malignity of the star Saturn shall fall down in rain, and slay mankind with a crooked sickle. The twelve houses of the star shall lament the irregular excursions of their guests; and Gemini omit their usual embraces, and call the urn to the fountains. The scales of Libra shall hang obliquely, till Aries puts his crooked horns under them. The tail of Scorpio shall produce lightning, and Cancer quarrel with the Sun. Virgo shall mount upon the back of Sagittarius, and darken her virgin flowers. The chariot of the Moon shall disorder the zodiac, and the Pleiades break forth into weeping. No offices of Janus shall hereafter return, but his gate being shut shall lie hid in the chinks of Ariadne. The seas shall rise up in the twinkling of an eye, and the dust of the ancients shall be restored. The winds shall fight together with a dreadful blast, and their sound shall reach the stars.

Merlin's complete prophecy as reported by Geoffrey of Monmouth, and translated into English, can be found here.

But Merlin was not alone in his prophetic endeavors. Across the misty moors of Scotland, another seer rose to prominence, his name whispered in hushed tones by those who sought insight into the mysteries of the cosmos. Thomas of Erceldoune, known also as Thomas the Rhymer, wandered the verdant hillsides, his gaze piercing the veil that shrouded the future. It was said that he had gained his powers after a Fairy Queen carried him away to the underworld, much like the poet Tannhäuser. Songs were written about it. 

In the twilight of the Middle Ages, Thomas spun tales of wonder and woe, his words seemingly imbued with a strange and otherworldly power. You can read his prophecies here, in the original tongue.

Whenne shal this be? Nouther in thine tyme ne in myne./ Ah comen and gon with-inne twenty wynter ant on.

As the wheel of time turned and the Renaissance dawned upon Europe, a new prophet emerged from the mists of obscurity, his name destined to be whispered in awe and reverence for centuries to come. Michel de Nostredame, known to the world as Nostradamus, strode boldly into the spotlight of history, his quatrains casting a spell of fascination upon all who beheld them. His books have never been out of print, and he is probably the only prophet more widely known than John in the Bible. 

Nostradamus's prophecies, written in cryptic verse and shrouded in allegory, seemed to transcend the bounds of time and space. Yet, like all prophets before him, Nostradamus was a figure shrouded in controversy and contradiction. Skeptics dismissed his writings as the ramblings of a madman, while believers saw in them the hand of divine providence. But amidst the cacophony of voices, one thing remained clear: Nostradamus had tapped into something primal and ineffable, something that transcended the boundaries of mortal understanding.

You can see an early edition of his work (in the original language) here. A later, extended, English edition is here.

Through the discord and negligence of the French,

A passage shall be opened to Mahomet,

The Land and Sea of Sienna shall be bloody,

The Phocen Haven shall be covered with Sails and Ships.
However, all of these prophecies are susceptible to a great flaw: they often are rewritten by later publishers to make them seem more accurate to past events than was truly the case, or, to flatter a certain cause with assurance of success or failure. Francis James Child notes that Thomas's prophecies survive in versions that completely alter just who it is that he claims is meant to win some war or another -- an apparent efforts to demoralize or encourage the various soldiers. Nostradamus often has things attributed to him there's no evidence he originally composed. And there's a completely different version of Merlin's prophecy in circulation.

In the swirling currents of Europe's prophetic tradition, Merlin, Thomas of Erceldoune, and Nostradamus stand as titans, their words echoing through the corridors of time like ghostly whispers from a bygone era. Their prophecies, though veiled in allegory and obscured by the mists of history, continue to captivate and confound, offering tantalizing glimpses into the enigma of human destiny.

But perhaps therein lies the true power of prediction: not in its ability to foretell the future with certainty, but in its capacity to inspire wonder and awe, to stir the imagination and provoke contemplation. For in the end, the future remains an unknowable mystery, a tapestry woven from the threads of countless possibilities, each more improbable than the last.

And so we are left to wander through the labyrinth of time, guided only by the flickering torchlight of prophecy, seeking answers to questions that may never be fully resolved. Yet in our quest for understanding, we are reminded of the enduring power of the human spirit, which, like the prophets of old, dares to peer into the abyss and glimpse the unknowable mysteries that lie beyond.

Magical Hoodoo Baths - The Original Hoodoo and Voodoo Bath for Luck, Love and Success

One beginning in the tradition of hoodoo should know about the importance of baths. They are vital tools in hoodoo work and cannot be dispensed with.  Many people nowadays don't have bathtubs, and some adaptation can be achieved by way of showers. Other people use a large bowl or bucket of water to pour on themselves in place of a spiritual bath. In olden times, and also in some places today where water on tap isn't common, people will perform their spiritual baths in a river or pond outdoors.  A spiritual bath is similar to a regular bath, but with certain key differences. Spiritual baths are not meant primarily for physical cleansing and so washing items like soap might be taboo depending on the exact bath type. However there are some types of magical bath that do use the multitasking property of soap or other cleansers, and in those cases the cleaning aspect is appropriate to the work. There is some controversy around washing the hair in a spiritual bath. Many people don...

Paper-in-Shoe Spells

A popular and very traditional hoodoo spell, often used for any situation where you need to control someone with magic , is the namepaper-in-shoe spell. It's very easy: you write the target's name 3, 7, or 9 times on a paper (depending on intent and who's giving instruction) then fold it up, sometimes after dressing it with oils or powders, then put it in your shoe. This "keeps the person underfoot" or "stomps out the trouble" or "puts pressure on them" or any other number of metaphors. I have had this work several times over the years. In one instance, I was working for a very unpleasant boss, on a short-term job. It was the last day, and I only had about 3 hours of work left on the project; and I wanted him to up my pay for the day since it almost wasn't worth the trip across town for the amount he was paying me, for only 3 hours. He was very reluctant. So I wrote his name 3 times on a 5-dollar bill he'd given me, and dusted it...

Carpet Friendly Hoodoo Floorwashes - How to Spiritually Cleanse Carpeted Floors

  Wall to wall carpeting only became common in houses during the 20th century, when the technology to make it cheaply and also the technology to clean it relatively easily (vacuums) made it much more practical than it had been in former times. In the old days, you had to uproot the entire carpet and take it outside to be beaten or scrubbed, while the wood floors underneath were swept and washed. Routine cleaning of a carpet would have usually been done by servants while the family was away on vacation. Nowadays a lot of people have carpets, and in many cases they're seen as a cheaper type of flooring than bare wood or tile. However, when dealing with traditional magic spells and hoodoo rituals, this can become a bit of a special encumbrance: instructions for floor sweeps, floor washes, and the use of colored sachet powders becomes an issue on a carpeted floor, whilst it is not an issue on a wood or tile floor.  Most traditional hoodoo cleaning and drawing rituals were made for...

Sugar and Sweetener - Vital Ingredients for Traditional Hoodoo and Witchcraft Magic

Sugar spells are everywhere these days. People know you can “sweeten someone up,” and if you poke around online for five minutes, you’ll find love spells that ask you to write a name on a paper and put it in a jar with sugar, honey, syrup, or a piece of candy. It’s not just popular — it’s practically its own genre. But the real history of sugar in hoodoo is a little deeper, and as always, a little weirder. Traditionally, sugar was used to sweeten someone toward you — whether for love, kindness, better treatment, or even to grease a boss’s attitude at work. You’ll find older spells that use sugar to make a judge lenient or to keep someone from being angry. What’s rarely mentioned outside the tradition is that the type of sugar used could be significant. Yes, really. In older hoodoo practice, sweeteners were sometimes matched to the race or skin tone of the person being targeted. Molasses - thick and dark, was typically used if the person was Black. White sugar - for a white person. Hon...

Ammonia - A Spiritual Cleansing Agent for Magick

Ammonia is a strong cleansing agent in hoodoo magick, both physically and spiritually. In Edwardian times it was advised as an old home remedy for a nerve tonic (see recipe below.)  "Household ammonia" or "ammonium hydroxide" is a solution of NH3 in water. Household ammonia ranges in concentration from 5 to 10 weight percent ammonia. The Romans called the ammonium chloride deposits they collected from near the Temple of Amun (Greek Ἄμμων Ammon) in ancient Libya 'sal ammoniacus' (salt of Amun) because of proximity to the nearby temple of Amun, the chief god of ancient Thebes. Salts of ammonia have been known from very early times; thus the term Hammoniacus sal appears in the writings of Pliny, although it is not known whether the term is identical with the more modern sal-ammoniac (ammonium chloride). In the form of sal-ammoniac (nushadir) ammonia was important to the Muslim alchemists as early as the 8th century, first mentioned by the arab chemist...
