And before the race is built anew a silver serpent comes to view and spew out men of like unknown to mingle with the earth now grown cold from its heat and these men can enlighten the minds of future man to intermingle and show them how to live and love and thus endow the children with the second sight a natural thing so that they might grow graceful, humble and when they do the golden age will start anew

Thus Mother Shipton wrote “of future time”, before she was burned at the stake by the Witch finders in 1561. These lines of “uncouth rhyme” were penned in a time of intense superstition and fear. Her verses have been the subject of awe and scorn combined, for in them, historical precision and prophetic insight have impressed centuries of commentators on both sides of the skeptical divide. From horseless carriages and airplanes to the dictators of the 20th century, this oracle described in shocking detail how our world would evolve into a ‘golden age’, but not without an ultimate earth shaking cataclysm and huge loss of life.

Now we live in what some would call equally superstitious times! We hear of wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes in diverse places and yet we are told in western religious text that amidst this turmoil we can  “look up, for our redemption draweth nie” (“Comes near” in ye oldie English!) The words of secular Christian text mean different things to different people, however I believe that if we take different belief systems and look at the big picture, a common concept emerges. Whatever happens to our species, what could be interpreted as an extraterrestrial influence will always exist, presiding over us with a hidden agenda…

The phrase “Silver Serpent” reminds me of the Mayan Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, associated with the Mayan gods who are scheduled to return in the years prior to the famous 2012 date. As it turns out, in and around Mexico there have been numerous sightings of UFOs fitting the description….

If sightings like these are real, and impressive oracles of yester year like Mother Shipton have been proven to be astonishingly accurate, then we may be looking at the beginning of the end of a very dark chapter in our human story.
