Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

Hi Morten St. George,

I'm french and I know very well Nostradamus.

Allow me to write that you made a mistake (as many others) with the translation of the word "Seline".

This word is a false friend.

I know that "sel" in french means "salt" in english.

But Seline doesn't mean salty.
Salty is translated by "saline" in french.

Seline refers to the Moon.
The greek etymology of Seline is Séléné, sister of Helios (the Sun).

In Nostradamus prophecies, you can read :
VI.27 : le grand Chyren Selin
VI.27 : the great Chyren Selin
Chyren = Henry. Probably Henri the second, king of France (1519 - 1559).

I insert below the coat of arms of this french king.
You can easily notice the three crescents of moon.

If you need to be completely convinced, here's another prophecy.
IV.77 : SELIN Monarque l'Italie pacifique.
IV.77 : SELIN King, Italy peaceful.

I hope that I changed your mind about Selin.
Selin refers to the moon and not to the salt.

Hi Paris,

Your logic is flawless and this is the type of criticism that I appreciate hearing.

It looks to me like the Rosicrucians wanted to link the Saline of prophecy V-35 with the "sel" of prophecy IX-49, so they made it Seline. See the closing paragraphs of my essay A Brief History of Solomon's Prophecies (mortenstgeorge.net) for an explanation of the potential usefulness of that link.

Often, when they do something off-beat, they give us a clarification nearby. Thus, in stanza V-38 (forward three stanzas) we find the word "Salique" (with capital S) which is the only appearance of that word in the prophecies. Although Salique does not mean Salty, we find justification therein to view Seline as Saline.
