Vain rumor within the Hierarchy, Genoa to rebel: courses, offenses, tumults: For the greater King will be the monarchy, Election, conflict, covert burials. Through discord in the absence to fail, One suddenly will put him back on top: Towards the North will be noises so loud, Lesions, points to travel, above. On the Tyrrhenian Sea, of different sail, On the Ocean there will be diverse assaults: Plague, poison, blood in the house of canvas, Prefects, Legates stirred up to march high seas.

The Urn found, the city tributary, Fields divided, new delusion: Spain wounded famine, military plaque, Mockery obstinate, confused, evil, reverie. Virgins and widows, your good time approaches, Not at all will it be that which they will pretend: Far it will be necessary that the approach for it be new, Very agreeable situation taken, completely restored, it will hold worse. Here within it will be completed, The three Great one outside, the Bourbon will be far: Against the other two one of them will conspire, At the end of the month they will see the necessity. Talks held, nuptials recommenced, The Great Great woman will go out of France: Voice in Rome not fatigued from crying out, Receives the peace through too false assurance. Joy in tears will come to captivate Mars, Before the Great one the Divines will be stirred up: Without uttering a word they will enter from three sides, Mars made drowsy, upon ice run the wines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almanac of 1560 Day’s journey, diet, interim, no council, The year peace is being prepared, plague, schismatic famine: Put outside inside, sky to change, domicile, End of holiday, hierarchical revolt.

At the foot of the wall the shy Franciscan, The enclosure delivered, the cavalry trampling: Outside the temple Mars and the Scythe of Saturn, Outside, to divide the friends and upon the reverie. The times purged, pestilential tempest, Barbarian insult, fury, invasion: Infinite evils for this month are prepared for us, And the Greatest Ones, two less, of mockery. Joy not long, abandoned by his followers, The year pestilent, the Greatest One assailed: The good Lady in the Elysian Fields, And the greater part of the cold goods not gathered.

The hidden desire for the good will succeed, Religion, peace, love and concord: The nuptial song will not be completely in accord, The high ones, who are low, and high, put to the rope. For the Shaven Ones the Chief will not reach the end, Edicts changed, the secret ones set at large: Great One found dead, less of faith, low standing, Dissimulated, shuddering, wounded in the boar’s lair. Moved by Lion, near Lion he will undermine, Taken, captive, pacified by a woman: He will not hold as well as they will waver, Placed unpassed, to oust the soul from rage. From Lion he will come to arouse to move, Vain discovery against infinite people: Known by none the evil for the duty, In the kitchen found dead and finished. Nothing in accord, worse and more severe trouble, As it was, land and sea to quieten: All arrested, it will not be worth a double, The iniquitous one will speak, Counsel of annihilation. Portentous deed, horrible and incredible, Typhoon will make the wicked ones move: Those who then afterwards supported by the cable, And the greater part exiled on the fields. Right put on the throne come into France from the sky, The whole world pacified by Virtue: Much blood to scatter, sooner change to come, By the birds, and by fire, and not by vers. The colored ones, the Sacred malcontents, Then suddenly through the happy Androgynes: Of the great part to see, the time not come, Several amongst them will make their soups weak. They will be returned to their full power, Conjoined at one point of the accord, not in accord: All defied, more promised to the Shaven Ones, Several amongst them outflanked in a band. For the legate of terrestrial and dawn, The great Cape will accommodate himself to all: Tacit LORRAINE, to be listening, He whose advice they will not want to agree with. The enemy wind will impede the troop, For the greatest one advance put in difficulty: Wine with poison will be put in the cup, To pass the great gun without horse-power. Through crystal the enterprise is broken, Games and feats, in LYONS to repose more: No longer will he take his repast with the Great Ones, Sudden catarrh, blessed water, to bathe him. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almanac of 1564 The sextile year rains, wheat to abound, hatreds, Joy to men, Princes, King divorced: Herd to perish, human mutations, People oppressed and poison under the surface. Times very diverse, discord discovered, Council of war, change taken in, changed: The Great Woman must not be, conspirators through water lost, Great hostility, for the great one all steady. The bit of the enemy’s tongue approaches, The Debonair one to peace will want to reduce: The obstinate ones will want to lose the kinswoman, Surprised, Captives, and suspects fury to injure. Fathers and mothers dead of infinite sorrows, Women in mourning, the pestilent she-monster: The Great One to be no more, all the world to end, Under peace, repose and every single one in opposition. Princes and Christendom stirred up in debates, Foreign nobles, Christ’s See molested: Become very evil, much good, mortal sight. Death in the East, plague, famine, evil treaty. Land to tremble, killed, wasteful, monster, Captives without number, to do, undone, done: To go over the sea misfortune will occur, Proud against the proud evil done in disguise. The unjust one lowered, they will molest him fiercely, Hail, to flood, treasure, and engraved marble: Chief of Persuasion people will kill to death, And attached will be the blade to the tree. Of what not evil? inexcusable result, The fire not double, the Legate outside confused: Against the worse wounded the fight will not be made, The end of June the thread cut by firing. Fine bonds enfeebled by accords, Mars and Prelates united will not stop: The great ones confused by gifts of mutilated bodies, Dignified ones, undignified ones will seize the well endowed. From good to the evil times will change, The peace in the South, the expectation of the Greatest Ones: The Great Ones grieving Louis too much more will stumble, Well-known Shaven Ones have neither power not understanding. This is the month for evils so many as to be doubled, Deaths, plague to drain all, famine, to quarrel: Those of the reverse of exile will come to note, Great Ones, secrets, deaths, not to censure. Through death, death to bite, counsel, robbery, pestiferous, They will not dare to attack the Marines: Deucalion a final trouble to make, Few young people: half-dead to give a start. Dead through spite he will cause the others to shine, And in an exalted place some great evils to occur: Sad concepts will come to harm each one, Temporal dignified, the Mass to succeed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almanac of 1565 A hundred times worse this year than the year passed, Even for the Greatest Ones of the realm and of the Church: Infinite evils, death, exile, ruin, smashed, To death great woman to be, pestilence, plague sores, and bile.

Plague to multiply, the Sects to quarrel with each other, Times moderated, winter, little return: Of mass and meeting house grievously to debate, Rivers to overflow, evils, deadly all around. To the people of lower class in debates and quarrels, And through the women and defunct ones great war: Death of a Great Woman, to celebrate the scrofula, More great Ladies expelled from the land. In widowhood as many males as females, The life of great monarchs to be in jeopardy: Plague, steel, famine, great peril, pell-mell, Troubles through changes, lesser nobility to incite. Hail, rust, rains, and great plagues, To preserve women, they will be the cause of the noise: Death of several through plague, steel, famine, through hatreds, The heavens will be seen, which is to say that it will be relit. Not at all sufficient will be the grain, The death approaches to snow more than white: Sterility, grain rotted, the water abundant, The great one wounded, several put to death on the flank. War, of fruits nor grain, trees and scrub-brush, Great volatility, noble to spur on: As temporal as the young-lion-like prelate, D’ANDELOT to conquer, noble ones to draw back. Everything changed, one to persecute four, Outside malady, morality very far: Of the four two more will not come to debate, Exile, ruin, death, famine, perplexity. Of the great ones the greater number will not be so many, Great changes, commotions, steel, plague: The small estimate: lent, paid, content, Opposite month frost molests severely. Severe frost, ice more than concord, Widows, matrons, fire, lament: Games, frolic, joy, Mars to incite discord, Through marriage good expectations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almanac of 1566 For the greatest ones death, loss of honor and violence, Professors of the faith, their estate and their sect: For the two great Churches diverse noise, decadence, Evil neighbors quarreling serfs of the Church without a head. Waste, great loss, and not without violence, All those of the faith, more for religion, The Greatest Ones will lose their lives, their honor and fortunes Both the two Churches, the sin in their faction. For the two very Great Ones pernicious loss to arise, The Greatest Ones will cause loss, goods, of honor, and of life, As much great noises will run, the urn very odious, Great maladies to be, meeting-house, mass in envy. The servants of the Churches will betray their Lords, Of other Lords also by the undivided of the fields: Neighbors of meeting-house and mass will quarrel amongst them, Rumors, noises to augment, to death are several lying. Of all blessings abundance, the earth will produce for us, No din of war in France, sedition put outside: Man-slayers, robbers one will find on the highway, Little faith, burning fever, people in commotion. Between people discord, brutal enmity, War, death of great Princes, several parts: Universal plague, stronger in the West, Times good and full, but very dry and exhausted. The grains not to be plentiful, in all other fruits, plenty, The Summer, spring humid, winter long, snow, ice: The East in arms, France reinforces herself, Death of beasts much honey, the place to be besieged. Through pestilence and fire fruits of trees will perish, Signs of oil to abound.

Up to this month the great drought will endure, For Italy and Provence all fruits to half: The Great One less of enemies prisoner of their band, For the scroungers, Pirates, and the enemy to die. The enemy so much to be feared to retire into Thrace, Leaving cries, howls, and pillage desolated: To leave noise on sea and land, religion murdered, Jovial Ones put on the road, every sect to become angry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almanac of 1567 Death, malady for young women, head colds, From the head to the eyes a wretched deal of land: By sea misfortune, seeds bad, wine in mists, Much oil too much rain, molests the fruits, war.

Prisons for enemies hidden and manifested, Travel will not hold, mortal enmity: Love three, secret hostility, public festival, The broken ruined, the water will break the quarrel. The public enemies, nuptials and marriages, Death after, he grown rich through the deaths: The great friends will show themselves in the passage, Two sects to jabber, from surprise remorse later. Through great maladies, religion offended, Through the infants and gifts of the Embassy: Gift given to worthless one, new law relaxed, Goods of old fathers, King in good country. From the father it approaches the son: Magistrates called severe, The great nuptials, enemies mangling: The concealed put in front, through the faith of reproaches, The good friends and women against such grumblings. Through the treasure, found -- the heritage of the father, The Kings and Magistrates, the nuptials, enemies: The public malevolent, the Judge and Mayor, The death, fear and terror: and three Great Ones put to death.

Close relatives, friends, brothers by blood, [Will find him] Completely dead near the bed and the bench. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Use your "Back Button" to return to Morgana's Observatory or go to: http://www.dreamscape.com/morgana for the Main Index.]
