EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing image depicts the renowned English astrologer and prophet, William Lilly (1602-1681), as he gazes intently at the stars, making a prediction about the Great Fire of London that would consume the city over a decade later. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, dates back to the 17th century and offers a captivating glimpse into the world of historical divination and paranormal beliefs. William Lilly, a prominent figure during the English Civil War and the Restoration, was renowned for his astrological predictions and the publication of his influential book, "Christian Astrology," in 1647. In this image, he is shown in a dimly lit room, surrounded by an array of astrological instruments, including an astrolabe and an armillary sphere. The ominous clouds in the background and the intense focus on Lilly's face add to the sense of impending doom and the supernatural. The Great Fire of London, which began on September 2, 1666, and lasted for four days, destroyed much of the city and left thousands of people homeless. Lilly's prediction of the fire, which he made in his almanac for the year 1651, is a fascinating example of historical premonitions. He wrote, "In this year, the 2nd of September, there will begin to be great troubles in the city of London, insomuch that it shall be burned and wasted, and many poor people shall perish in the flames." Although the precise cause of the Great Fire remains uncertain, many theories have been put forward, including the possibility of an accidental spark from a bakery or a deliberate act of arson. Regardless of its origin, Lilly's prediction adds an intriguing layer to the historical record of this catastrophic event, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring human fascination with the paranormal and the power of the stars.
