There are Famous seers Which have been highlighted by the accuracy or insanity of their forecasts and the seriousness of the facts to which they referred.
A seer is a person who has the ability to see the future, to guess, to predict. There is no effective method for knowing whether a seer actually has that gift. We can only trust him or not, in the capacities he claims to possess.
In general, the seers work with percentages of successes in their predictions. A good psychic can have a fifty or sixty percent success. That is already considered a very high figure.
Seers live on the trust of their customers. If trust is unlimited, it does not matter much whether it succeeds or not, the person will already suggest himself defending all the predictions of the seer and adapting them to his reality.
The seers, in the present time, enjoy prestige. Virtually all world leaders, rulers, counselors, bankers, owners of large companies, constantly consult their trusted visionaries to feel secure about their near future.
Seers have diverse ways of seeing the future. Some dream and, from their dreams, with the symbology of the same, make their predictions. Others have visions while awake, clear visions, with images, which are then interpreted in different ways. Others use objects such as Tarot cards, read lines of hands, etc.
List of famous historical seers
1- Nostradamus
His name can not be missed when famous seers are spoken. His prophecies are still used today to explain the most amazing 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 to happen, are:
- Great earthquake in the United States, which will affect other countries.
- To be parents you will need permits or licenses that will grant the power. He does not speak of freedom to father children.
- People will refuse to pay taxes and there will be a great tribulation.
- Humans will be able to understand and talk to animals.
- The world economy will collapse.
- "The sky will open, the fields will be burned by the heat."
- The advances of medicine will achieve that humans live some two hundred years or more.
- There will be a large eruption of the Vesuvius volcano in Italy.
- Disappearing differences between languages, thanks to a machine that will translate everything into a universal language.
- Also gives date for the end of the world: year 3797.
It has multiple defenders who assert that many historical events are 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 death of Princess Diana, etc.
2- Cassandra
In Greek mythology, Kassandra was a priestess of Apollo and came to an agreement with him to grant him the gift of prophecy in return for a carnal encounter with him.
Kassandra was granted the gift, but she refused her part of the bargain. He rejected the god and he, furious at his betrayal, spat in his mouth. That meant she kept her gift of a prophetess, but from that time on, no one would believe her.
Knowing the truth but no one believed was the particular tragedy suffered by Cassandra, the prophetess par excellence forever.
3- Criswell
Seer and futurist who began in a surprising way: he worked as a weather man on a television and one day he could not remember, live, the forecasts he had read for the next day; Had to improvise a prognosis and was totally correct.
From that day alone he gave his predictions in this way, improvising, achieving many more hits than orthodox meteorologists. He accurately predicted Kennedy's death in 1963.
He made surprising predictions, of which not one was fulfilled, because they were only extravagances without any foundation, perhaps a joke that he wanted to spend his followers. Let's look at some of them:
- He said that in 1970 Fidel Castro would be killed by a woman.
- That the actress Mae West would be the first woman president of the United States.
In 1983 many women would remain bald in the city of San Luis due to toxic fumes. Then, within a few days of that event, there would be long queues of men in the courts, demanding the divorce of their bald women.
These and other follies, more absurd, were expected to happen, at least its thousands of followers. Criswell died before the dates on which his prophecies had to be fulfilled, thus saving him the embarrassment.
4 - Madame Lenormand
The seer of Napoleon. Madame Gilbert taught her the divination techniques of the Etteilla tarot. Then he set up his own seer cabinet. In this place he met three famous characters of the French Revolution: Marat, Robespierre and Saint Just, to whom he predicted a violent death. This caused the authorities to suspect her and was arrested.
She would be the confidant of Josephine and her personal fortune-teller, as well as of Napoleon, though he had little faith in these fortune-tellers. After his divorce from Josefina, he dictated laws against seers and cartomancy in general.
5- Joan Quigley
Private astrologer of President Ronald Reagan. This man would reveal in his memoirs that most transcendent decisions he made were made in agreement with the astrologer, who always looked at whether the alignment of the planets was correct.
Before the scandal that this revelation supposed, Nancy Reagan, two years later, denied that that had been thus, taking away importance to the figure of Joan. But Quigley said that the press conferences, as well as the departure times of the presidential plane and many other details of protocol, were fixed according to the predictions of the stars that he consulted.
6- Brahan the seer
It was called Coinneach Oddhar and was born in the Scottish Hebrides in the seventeenth century. He had clairvoyant powers, though in reality he always worked as a farmer. He used, for his visions, a stone he always wore.
He made prophecies that did not understand in his time, making him seem crazy, although many of his peers believed in what they said. For example, he went on to say:"The day will come when long rows of carriages without horses will travel between Dingwall and Inverness and, most surprisingly, between Dingwall and the Isle of Skye." If we think of a railroad, it is possible that his visions were quite correct.
7- Edgar Cayce
1877-1945. American seer who had the ability to answer questions on different subjects after entering a state of hypnotic trance. These responses were known as"readings of lives"and made them while in a state of hypnosis. At the same time he answered, he guessed the state of health of the person asking the questions.

He was considered a mystic and had the ability to heal and see the future. The great confidence placed in him by the czarina Alejandra Fyodorovna was due to alleviate the disease of the son, the zarévich Alexis Nikolayevich, 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 Yefímovich) would be an important part in the palaces of the tsar. It even went so far as to appoint senior government officials. A palatial conspiracy of several nobles ended his life, but killing him was very complicated.
They poisoned him, but he did not fall. He was then shot, but he rose and fled, terrifying his murderers, who did not conceive that a man with much venom in his stomach and several bullets in his body could continue walking.
