Theophrastus Paracelsus, doctor, chemist, and mystic was born in Switzerland in 1493. He is celebrated as the man who, on his appointment as town physician and lecturer in the University of Basle in 1526, preceeded his lectures by a solemn burning of the books of his illustrious predecessors Galen and Avicenna. In the course of a tempestuous life, he helped to transform the highly abstract and theoretical view of medicine into one observation and experiment, diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, he was a visionary who believed that the life of man was inseparable from that of the universe; and that man is penetrated by the astral spirit as well as having a soul.Paracelsus' prophecies were first published in German in 1530 and enjoyed considerable popularity for about a century. Thereafter they fell into oblivion until rescued in the nineteenth century by the Kabbalist and Magician Eliphas Levi. The prophecies comprise 32 allegorical pictures each accompanied by a prognostication, a preface, and an elucidation. Paracelsus' images are usually obscure. It was as if he saw the future as a series of moving pictures on a film but was only able to describe them out of chronological sequence.Most of the events predicted are concerned with the church or state and the span of time involved seems to be 24 and 42 , or probably multiples thereof. Like other occult works of the period, the course of future events is never explicitly stated. It is up to the reader to use his insight and imagination to draw his own conclusions from the subtle hints that Paracelsus gives.

The Prophecies of Paracelsus attracted my attention at an early stage of my studies in the Occult, which have now extended to over forty years, but I have only recently thought of bringing them to public notice, the extraordinary events of the present time acting as an incentive. The famous French Kabbalist, Alphonse Louis Constant, in La Clef des Grands Mystères, p. 378, wrote: 'The Prophecy of Paracelsus, of which we here give the Preface, is composed of thirty-two chapters with allegorical figures. 'It is the most astounding monument and indisputable proof of the reality and existence of the gift of natural prophecy.' Abbé Constant (born 1809, died 1875), better known by his Hebraistic pseudonym, Eliphas Lévi Fahed, was a distinguished Adept, Magus, and Writer on the Occult. Most of his works have been ably translated by Mr. A. E. Waite. The Preface Eliphas Lévi refers to is not given here, but will be found preceding the Predictions.

Paracelsus (born Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, 11 November or 17 December 1493 - 24 September 1541) was a Swiss Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist. "Paracelsus," meaning "equal to or greater than Celsus," refers to the Roman encyclopedist Aulus Cornelius Celsus from the 1st century, known for his tract on medicine. He is also credited for giving zinc its name, calling it zincum and is regarded as the first systematic botanist. The Prophecies of Paracelsus are cryptic, similar to those by Nostradamus, and filled with allegorical symbols which are capable of being reinterpreted for any purpose.
