At the insistence of the abbot and local archbishop Hildegard continued to record and in ten years recorded 26 visions that amounted to her work Sci vias lucis (“Know the ways of the light, that is, the Lord”), commonly known as Scivias, a visionary image of the entire circle being from the Trinity to the Last Judgment.
One of the visions described in the book is terrible earthquake and comet:
“Only a few men will remain, seven women will fight for one man and ask: “Marry me and save me from shame” because that in those days it would be a shame for a woman not to have a baby. ”
“Even before the Comet arrives, the great people living behind the ocean (America), inhabited by people of different tribes and generations, will be ravaged by an earthquake, hurricane and tidal waves. is he will be divided, and most will be under water. This people see many more misfortunes at sea. He will lose his colonies on east between the Tigris and Leo.
With its tremendous pressure, the Comet will displace so much water from the ocean, that it will flood many countries and cause poverty and various diseases. All coastal cities will be flooded, and many of them will be destroyed by tidal waves. Most living things will die, and even those who can escape will die from terrible diseases. And there will be no living person in any of these cities God’s command. ”
Many people believe that this vision applies to our time. and something terrible awaits us in the future.

One of these visions – falling into the ocean and fading stars there – means for Hildegard “the fall of angels”: “I saw a huge a star shining and infinitely beautiful, and there are many shooting stars; all together they moved south … And then all the stars disappeared, burned to the ground, turned into black coals … dissolved in the abyss and became invisible. “O. Sachs diagnoses that through her the visual field has rained phosphenes (light spots), ending with negative scotoma (blind spot).
