MOTHER SHIPTON’S PROPHECY OF THE
“END OF THE WORLD” IN THE YEAR 1881.
Some relics of the ancient Circle-Craft are still extant in Britain, and
we have our misinterpreted Prophecies in common with the Hebrews
(see pp. 388-398). According to one of these the World is to end in the
year 1881.
The “end of the world” is the end of an AEon, Age or Cycle of Time,
and we have seen the Prophecy fulfilled in the rare Lunar and Planetary
Conjunction which occured on the third of March. It now remains for
Scientific Astronomy to determine the lenght of this particular Cycle of
Time and define its relationship to the period of Precession.
The ending of an Old World (or AEon) and commencement of a New
is an appropriate date for the birth of ABOOK OF THE BEGINNINGS.
March 4th, 1881.
