People have always been interested in their future, they were ready to give any money to look at the events of the future at least for a few seconds. Those who possessed such abilities were called seers. They existed at all times and used to obtain information in completely different ways. How many such people were in history is unknown, because the names of a few seers have survived to this day. Who are they - the most famous predictors of the world?
Divination technology: how does it work?
Scientists since the nineteenth century have been trying to determine how some people manage to predict the future and describe it in such detail. Unfortunately, to this day, the mechanism of divination has not been disclosed. Although the clairvoyants themselves claim that every person without exception is capable of this. It's just that the majority do not know how to use it, but the rare lucky ones managed to awaken ina gift to yourself and use it for the benefit of others.
Surprisingly, each seer uses different techniques to allow him to penetrate into the future. Some fall into a trance for this purpose, while others hear voices. There is a category of clairvoyants who use aids such as cards, coffee grounds, or various crystals. Such predictions are often confused with fortune-telling, therefore, in the terminology of the study of the unknown, there is a definition of soothsayers. These mainly include people who are able to talk about the events of the future without auxiliary means. Therefore, we will be guided by this definition in search of someone who can be awarded the title of "the most famous fortune teller of all time."
Famous soothsayers: who are they?
In the entire history of the existence of human civilization, more than once people have appeared who possessed a powerful gift of divination and are able to look into the centuries ahead. Therefore, it is quite difficult to find out which of them is the most famous predictor. After all, the prophecies of many seers have already come true, but the time of others is just coming. Moreover, almost any person, faced with a prediction that has come true, experiences sacred horror and begins to be more attentive to the words of the seers.
Recently, the topic of clairvoyants was touched upon in one well-known entertainment program "100 to 1". The most famous predictor was named by the Russians, who were randomly interviewed on the streets of Moscow. The opinion of the townspeople was as unanimous as possible, they named six names. The predictors known to Russia are as follows:
- Vanga.
- Nostradamus.
- Globa.
- Messing.
- Juna.
- Longo.
These names are known to almost any Russian. After all, each of these people appears to the inhabitants as a predictor. But is it really so? And what exactly do we know about these clairvoyants?
Fortune tellers known to everyone: Vanga
This woman has long been considered one of the most legendary personalities of the twentieth century. Born in 1911, the girl turned out to be extremely far-sighted and was able to make a lot of predictions to ordinary people and heads of governments of different countries. In the family of the future seer, no one expected the girl to be so gifted. She grew up as an absolutely normal child until the age of twelve, when she lost her sight during a hurricane. During World War II, in the village where Vanga lived, they started talking about her extraordinary abilities. Over time, the fame of the clairvoyant spread around the globe, she received ordinary people and the powerful of this world with equal attention.
Vanga herself said that she sees the future as a window in which the whole history of a person's life is squandered. The voice sounding in my head comments on what is happening, especially dwelling on what exactly needs to be revealed to the one who came to Vanga for help.
The seer predicted the defeat of Hitler, the death of Stalin and the change of regimes in various countries. Much of what the clairvoyant spoke about has not yet come true. Until her death shemanaged to make predictions up to the five thousandth year. It is during this period, according to Vanga, that the end of the world will come and the death of all mankind will occur. Whether this will be so is unknown, but so far all her predictions have come true.
Nostradamus: the secret of the katrans
The famous soothsayer Michel Nostradamus is a very mysterious figure of the past. He encrypted his predictions and wrote them down in the form of verses - quatrains. Over the centuries that have passed since the death of the seer, his quatrains have been deciphered more than once. Moreover, each author offered a completely new version of the prediction. It is believed that Nostradamus was not only a clairvoyant, but also an astrologer, alchemist and poet. Many historians argue that in the sixteenth century, when the slightest hint of magic could fall into the field of view of the Inquisition, this was a very dangerous occupation. It promised litigation and a fire. That is why Nostradamus carefully ciphered his predictions and made them somewhat blurry.
Some researchers of the great astrologer's prophecies believe that he wrote his quatrains based on the texts of another soothsayer who lived in the fourteenth century. His name was Renier Nero, and many contemporaries called him the Black Spider. Despite some similarities in the texts, it is difficult to say that Nostradamus copied them. In addition, he managed to make predictions until 2240, when humanity (in his opinion) will come close to its death. But the astrologer himself did not claim that the end of the world would happen necessarily. Hebelieved that humanity could well survive, and then a new era of prosperity and peace on the planet would begin.
Pavel Globa: modern astrologer
Almost every Russian knows the name of Pavel Globa. He was born in the middle of the last century and at the moment is a very controversial figure in the world of the unknown. The fact is that he belongs to the category of people who stood at the origins of modern Soviet astrology. He managed to organize his own center and even hosted several television programs.
Unfortunately, many of Globa's predictions are unfulfilled. According to experts, there are more than fifty percent of them.
Wolf Messing: a man of legend
The life and work of Wolf Messing is surrounded by a halo of secrets and mysteries. Some consider him a brilliant telepath and hypnotist, while others are just a talented artist and psychologist. Until now, there is no exact definition of his talent, because many of Messing's words have not been confirmed by a detailed and thorough check.
Many contemporaries of the hypnotist claim that he conducted his performances in an atmosphere of high emotional intensity, which prevented the audience from really assessing the ongoing events and the artist's abilities.
Juna is a healer and astrologer
Despite the fact that the Russians consider Juna a fortune teller, she herself considered herself a healer. This was her main gift, which glorified the woman throughout the Soviet Union. Juna's abilities were seriously studied and testedSoviet experts. The healer's clients were the first persons of the state, who believed in her gift and found it very powerful.
In addition to healing, Juna was engaged in creativity and said that she receives energy from space and from higher powers. The mysterious woman died in 2015 at the age of sixty-five.
Yuri Longo: magician and illusionist
Yuri Longo can hardly be called a person with paranormal abilities either. He was born in the middle of the last century. Longo was very sensitive to the new trends expressed in the interest in everything mystical. He hosted the first Soviet television shows in which he tried to resurrect the dead and heal the sick. Modern experts argue that Yuri Longo can be attributed to charlatans who made a fortune by deceiving ordinary people.
Surprisingly, if we analyze the activities of those who once claimed the title of magicians and soothsayers, there are quite a lot of swindlers and charlatans among them. But, besides them, there were real seers whose predictions still plunge scientists into a state of bewilderment and shock.
Edgar Cayce - "sleeping" seer
The well-known predictor of the future, American Edgar Cayce, was an extraordinary person and clearly belonged to real clairvoyants, to whom any distance and time are available. This man had a phenomenal gift of foresight, and most of his predictions have already come true.
Casey was born at the end of the nineteenth century in a simple familyAmerican farmer. At the age of nine, the boy showed paranormal abilities. He could not learn the lesson, and the furious father hit the boy on the ear. Falling down, Casey heard a voice ordering him to sleep. In the future, the boy went to bed on the textbook and in just a few minutes he knew everything that was necessary for the lesson.
It was for the ability to receive information in a state of trance, similar to a dream, that Casey was nicknamed the "sleeping" prophet. Throughout his life, he made a lot of predictions about the fate of peoples, talked about past civilizations and future disasters. In his predictions, Casey paid a lot of attention to Russia and its future. He argued that after a series of catastrophes that would practically destroy America, Europe and part of Japan, Russia would be the hope of the world. It is she who will revive human civilization and bring it to a new stage of development.
Seers of the past
The most famous soothsayers of the world, who left their mark on history, appeared in all ages. In Greek mythology, the soothsayer Cassandra occupies a special place, about which historians and scientists are still arguing. Presumably, she was the daughter of King Priam and was able to predict the death of Troy from a huge horse. The ancient Greek sources about the abilities of Cassandra contain very conflicting information.
For example, Homer, recognizing her as an amazingly beautiful girl, does not focus on a special gift. Aeschylus in the tragedy "Agamemnon" mentioned the girl's ability tothe foresight she received from Apollo. Having deceived God, she was punished by the unbelief of people in her gift. Ultimately, this led to the fall of Troy.
Later she became the wife of Agamemnon and bore him two sons. Historians claim that she often testified about the fate of other people and even foresaw her own death.
Famous predictors of the world: Maria Lenormand
This Frenchwoman has always been legendary. She was born extremely ugly, besides, she was lame. Even the girl's parents were amazed at her ugliness and by the age of five they gladly gave her up for education in a monastery. It was during this period of time that the child began to show strange abilities that frighten parents.
By the age of sixteen, Maria returned to her father's house. She received a fairly good education, and the study of books on esotericism and numerology gave her a lot of new information, which she easily applied. In Paris, where the girl went in search of a better life, she began to guess for everyone and quickly gained unprecedented fame, since all her words always came true. Any well-known predictor of modernity could envy Lenormand's gift. She could do almost everything - she had access to cards, clairvoyance, palmistry and many other methods of prediction.
One of the most famous predictions of Marie Lenormand is the death of Queen Marie Antoinette, who ascended the scaffold during the French Revolution. The clients of the lame seer were the leaders of the revolution, noble nobles and even Napoleon himself. The woman told him about the future rise and inglorious sunsethis life. This is what led to the fact that, having become emperor, Napoleon tried to kill the fortune teller.
There is historical evidence confirming that the Russian Emperor Alexander I and the future Decembrists, who ended their life on the gallows, came to Maria Lenormand. One day, a woman laid the cards on herself and saw her death come to her in fourteen years exactly as she predicted.
It is difficult to determine which famous predictor is the best, because each era gives birth to its heroes and prophets. This means that pretty soon people will hear about a new visionary who will become the most famous in the twenty-first century.
