The History and Purpose of Nostradamus' Cryptic Writing

Morten St. George's Incantation of the Law Against Inept Critics: A Guide to Cryptic Thinking breaks historical ground in this little-known area.

Brazil (PRWEB) June 24, 2006 -- With the current strong interest in The Da Vinci Code, now is the ideal time for anyone interested in hidden messages to read Incantation of the Law Against Inept Critics: A Guide to Cryptic Thinking, by Morten St. George. This remarkable new book explores a fascinating field that has been long-neglected by Western scholars and authors, despite its brilliance and historical significance, as well as the potential for this lost art in today's world of increasing censorship and groupthink.

Little-known or appreciated in modern times, the art of cryptic thinking and writing evolved over a period of centuries, largely as a result of the Inquisition and religious censorship. While modern readers might misjudge it as nonsensical writing, it is actually the exact opposite, as the true meaning of the communication is hidden within intellectually challenging language and requires much effort on the part of the reader.

Cryptic thinking and writing has a long and rich history, and was typically employed by wary authors, such as Nostradamus, who wished to communicate religious and social opinions or other potentially controversial (or even lethal) ideas, should the actual messages be understood by the censors and power elite of their day.

St. George's new book is truly unique, and reveals the results of his years of painstaking study, in which he discovered and catalogued some of the most brilliant techniques employed by Nostradamus and the medieval cabalists, who had every reason to use cryptic writing -- regardless of whether or not they were labeled "insane" by their contemporaries, or by current historians. St. George reapplies Nostradamus' “astrology” to our current world, and also helps anyone to learn cryptic techniques by challenging the reader to decode a series of mentally stimulating cryptic messages.
