When he returned to France, Nostradamus devoted a daily period to meditation, locking himself away and seeking visions of the future by staring intently into bowls filled with water and herbs. He wrote his first almanac of visions in 1550, and it became a great success, inspiring him to write out more than six thousand prophecies. His collection of almanacs, titled ''The Prophecies'', was a collection of predictions, written as short verses in cryptic code to avoid charges of [[heresy]] or allegations that he was casting [[horoscope]]s against the king. | When he returned to France, Nostradamus devoted a daily period to meditation, locking himself away and seeking visions of the future by staring intently into bowls filled with water and herbs.
