I am only eager to dispel the notion that Nostradamus was an otherworldly wizard because I think it overshadows the fact that he was a learned and progressive man, and those skills are as valuable as wizardry. They’re also skills humans can actually cultivate. His powers didn’t come from the heavens; they came from the fact that he was an avid reader, interested in the scientific advances of his own time, as well as the medical arts of the past.
