Using cloud formations to tell the future

October 26, 2007

"Is it true that clairvoyants used to read the future in cloud formations? How does this work?" - a question by Ann J. from Oxford

There is hardly any natural phenomenon which hasn’t at some time been “used” by clairvoyants for predicting the future! Clouds certainly fall into this category. But every now and again there are cloud formations which are noticed by many people at once because of their unusual formation.  

It is said that just before the battle of Luetzen in 1632 (between German and Swedish troops) many people saw in the sky above Stockholm Castle a young woman of supernatural size with a burning torch in one hand and something like a white handkerchief in the other. The apparition was interpreted thus: after the king’s death, the fires of war would blaze and the cloth meant that tears would be shed.
