Mother Shipton's Prophecies and Planet X / Nibiru Research

Published by Marshall Masters  January 29, 2006

The prophecies of the English seeress known to us as Mother Shipton, are becoming important to Planet X / Nibiru research. This is because her prophecies correlate with other ancient predictions of this impending flyby event and are scientifically consistent with recent findings. Specifically, her prophecy that states, "A fiery dragon will cross the sky -- Six times before this earth shall die... " is consistent with a large object in a long period orbit.

With regard to those debunkers who view her prophecies as a hoax, their attack is mostly historical in nature, because her prophecies first appeared in print in 1641, eighty years after her death. They also express the opinion that English editor and biographer Richard Head first corrupted her prophetic writings in 1684, then that English publisher Charles Hindley corrupted them once again in 1861.

Not to be irreverent, but if the same line of reasoning were applied to other ancient works, such as the Holy Bible, they could all be dismissed as hoaxes with equal ease. On one hand, quashing these works would please self-appointed skeptical cynics. On the other, letting the matter reach that end would only deny the rest of us the opportunity to evaluate these ancient works on our own terms.

Authenticating Shipton's Prophecies

It is a given; ancient texts can and do change over time. Ergo, the question becomes one of validating the substance of the work with the caveat that it will have been altered over time.

When authenticating Mother Shipton's prophecies, we are fortunate, because there is authentication data that clearly survives all debunker claims, and what is most interesting is that it is offered by Shipton herself.

In nineteen hundred and twenty six
Build houses light of straw and sticks.
For then shall mighty wars be planned
And fire and sword shall sweep the land.

To a secular researcher, this specific prophecy immediately stands out because it is the only one to contain a specific date "In nineteen hundred and twenty six," which was the beginning of what Adolf Hitler described as his "quiet years."

Adolf Hitler's Quiet Years (1926 to 1929)

By May of 1926, Adolf Hitler had finally crushed his rivals within the Nazi Party and became the party's supreme leader (F??hrer), giving him the time to lay the plans of his 1000-year Reich, in the village of Berchtesgaden in the peaceful, scenic mountains of Bavaria.

Hitler regarded his "quiet years" (1926 to 1929) as one of the happiest times of his life, because during this time, he planned WWII and the Holocaust in the comfort of this idyllic Bavarian setting.

This also fulfills Mother Shipton's prophecy, "For then shall mighty wars be planned," for a violent German Reich future. In addition to that, Mother Shipton provides two more authentication prophecies.

First is his her prophecy that "fire and sword" of the Nazi war machine would sweep across Europe as it did. Second is her reference to "straw and sticks" which is equally important.

This prophecy goes straight to the heart of the June 22, 1941 Nazi invasion of Russia with Operation Barbarossa.

Even as his ground and air forces were being decimated on a wholesale basis, Russian leader Joseph Stalin allowed himself to be paralyzed into silence by his fear of Hitler.

It wasn't until July 3, 1941 that Stalin finally found his voice and struck back. In a national radio speech to the Soviet people, condemned the actions of "such fiends as Hitler and Ribbentrop" and announced a "scorched earth" policy for the Ukraine.

In pre-Soviet days, the Ukraine was the largest exporter of tinned butter in the world as well as a major wheat exporter. In was the Eastern Europe equivalent of the North American Wheat Belt, which extends along a north-south axis for more than 1,500 miles from central Alberta, Can., to central Texas.

In the course of carrying out Stalin's "scorched earth" policy hundreds of thousands of "straw and sticks" peasant homes with thatched roofs in the Ukraine were burned to the ground, along with their verdant crops.

Some may ask, "Could she have been influenced by Napoleon's invasion of Russia?" The answer is no. Shipton died in about 1561, and it wasn't until 1812 that Napoleon Bonaparte's Grande Armee would cross the Niemen river to invade Russia.

Did Mother Shipton Anticipate
an Authentication Debate?

Even if what debunkers maintain is true, that her prophecies represent an irreparably corrupted hoax because of revisions in 1684 by Head and in 1861 by Hindley, not one of them has ever taken on the issue of 1926.

Physically, Mother Shipton was tall and ugly woman. Yet, she was also gifted, kind and extremely intelligent. If such a person wanted her prophecies to survive the skeptics so as to reach her intended audience, it stands to reason that she would build in some form of survival mechanism. In this case, it is her 1926 prophecies.

At face value, it appears to be nothing more than an unfulfilled prophecy, but as this article demonstrates, it is one of the most successful prophecies to come down to us through the centuries. It was successful, not only because every bit of it came to pass, but also because it so easily slipped past the notice of self-appointed cynics to give those of us living today a solid authentication of her work.

Yet above all else, what must be remembered about this woman is her courage, her love for humanity and her enduring hope for the survival of those destined to see the "fiery dragon" of her prophecies cross the sky for the sixth time.

About Skywatch & The Great Red Comet

Our core mission is Planet X / Nibiru education and the major earth and climate changes that will precede the planet of the crossing and the great pole shift. Our articles and news reports are free to the public, because we believe those who choose to become self-informed today, will be better prepared to think their way through the challenging years ahead.  If you wish to directly support our efforts, please address your interest to Sky_Watch@direcway.com  so that we may include you on the future radio subscription list for a limited special price of $19.95/year

Given the highly eccentric nature of long-period orbits, predicting an exact return date for Planet X / Nibiru is difficult.  However, the ever-quickening pace and severity of ongoing weather changes and seismic & volcanic events, clearly signals an early onset of flyby effects.  If current trends persist, the pattern of these catastrophic effects will worsen as the 2012 time frame approaches.

It is important to stress that this flyby will not be the end of humankind.  We will survive it as we have those of the past --- and we shall evolve in response to it. Likewise, those who make it, will live to see the beginning of a better world.  Therefore, Keep Looking to the Skies!
