There are famous seers They have stood out for the accuracy or madness of their forecasts and for the seriousness of the events to which they referred. A seer is a person who has the ability to see the future, to guess it, to foresee it. 

In general, psychics work with percentages of correctness in their predictions. A good seer can be fifty or sixty percent correct. That is already considered a very high figure.

Seers live off the trust of their customers. If the confidence is unlimited, it does not matter much if it is correct or not, the person will already suggest himself defending all the predictions of the seer and adapting them to his reality.

The seers have different ways of seeing the future. Some dream and, based on their dreams, with their symbols, make their predictions.

Others have visions while awake, clear visions, with images, which are later interpreted in different ways. Others use objects such as Tarot cards, read hand lines, etc..

List of famous seers

Nostradamus 

His name cannot be absent when talking about famous seers. His prophecies are still used today to explain the most surprising and terrible facts..

He himself said that he was not a prophet and that he did not guarantee that his famous prophecies would be fulfilled. Some of his visions, which many still hope will come to pass are:

  • Great earthquake in the United States, which will affect other countries.
  • To be parents, you will need permits or licenses that will be granted by the power of attorney. There is no freedom to beget children.
  • People will refuse to pay taxes and there will be a great tribulation.
  • Humans will be able to understand and speak to animals.

It has multiple defenders who claim that many historical events were predicted by Nostradamus. Among others: the great fire of London; the 2nd World War; the birth and fall of Hitler; the fall of the twin towers in 2001; the passing of Princess Diana, etc..

Cassandra

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was the priestess of Apollo and reached an agreement with him so that he would grant her the gift of prophecy in exchange for a carnal encounter with him..

Cassandra was granted the gift, but she declined his end of the bargain. He rejected the god and he, furious at his betrayal, spat in his mouth. That meant she kept her gift of prophetess, but from then on, no one would believe her anymore..

Knowing the truth but no one believed him was the particular tragedy that Cassandra would suffer forever, the prophetess par excellence.

Criswell

Seer and futurologist who started in a surprising way: he worked as a weatherman on television and one day he could not remember, live, the forecasts he had read for the next day; had to improvise a forecast and was totally right.

From that day on, he only gave his predictions in this way, improvising, getting many more hits than orthodox meteorologists. Accurately predicted Kennedy's death in 1963.

He made surprising predictions, of which not a single one was fulfilled, since they were only extravagances without any foundation, perhaps a joke that he wanted to play on his followers. Let's see some of them:

  • He said that in 1970 Fidel Castro would be assassinated by a woman.
  • That actress Mae West would be the first female president of the United States.

In 1983 many women would go bald in the city of San Luis due to toxic fumes. Then, a few days after that event, there would be long lines of men in court, asking for the divorce of their bald women.

These and other crazy things, to which more absurd, were expected to happen, at least his thousands of followers. Criswell died before the dates on which his prophecies had to be fulfilled arrived, thus sparing him that embarrassment..

Madam lenormand

Napoleon's seer. Madame Gilbert taught him the divinatory techniques of the Etteilla tarot. Later he set up his own seer cabinet.

In this place he met three famous figures of the French Revolution: Marat, Robespierre and Saint Just, whom he predicted a violent death. This fact made the authorities suspicious of her and she was arrested.

She would be the confidant of Josefina and her personal soothsayer, as well as Napoleon, although the latter had little faith in these soothsayers. After his divorce from Josefina, he passed laws against seers and cartomancy in general..

Joan quigley

President Ronald Reagan's private astrologer. This man would reveal in his memoirs that most of the important decisions he made were carried out in agreement with the astrologer, who always looked to see if the alignment of the planets was correct..

Given the scandal caused by this revelation, Nancy Reagan, two years later, denied that this had been the case, downplaying the figure of Joan.

But Quigley assured that both the press conferences, as well as the take-off times of the presidential plane and many other protocol details, were set according to the predictions of the stars he consulted..

Rasputin

Russian monk who ended up being decisive in world history. A niche was made in the court of the last tsars of Russia, with Nikolai II. His advice and decisions were very taken into account.

He was considered a mystic and had the ability to heal and see the future. The great trust that Tsarina Alejandra Fiódorovna placed in him was due to the fact that he alleviated the illness of his son, Tsarévich Alexis Nikoláyevich, who suffered from hemophilia.

The truth is that the child, after passing through the hands of the "mad monk", improved ostensibly and, from then on, Rasputin (Grigori Yefimovich) would be an important part of the tsar's palaces. He went so far as to appoint senior government officials. A palace conspiracy of several nobles ended his life, but killing him was very difficult.

They came to poison him, but he did not fall. Then they shot him, but he got up and fled, terrifying his murderers, who did not conceive that a man with a lot of poison in his stomach and several bullets in his body could keep walking. They finally captured him and threw him into the Neva River in St. Petersburg. They were not fully convinced of his death.

He made prophecies that were not understood in his time, making him look like a madman, although many of his contemporaries believed what they said..

For example, he went so far as to say: "The day will come when long lines of horseless carts will travel between Dingwall and Inverness and, more surprisingly, between Dingwall and the Isle of Skye." If we think of a railway, it is possible that his visions were quite accurate.
