Edgar Cayce, the famous American psychic of the 20th century, made many predictions during his readings, including massive changes to magnetic field of planet Earth. In this article, we are going to look at Edgar Cayce’s polar shift predictions.
Edgar Cayce predicted that the Earth’s magnetic poles would shift 16 to 20 degrees between the 1950s and 1990s. Mt. Etna volcano in Italy and Mt. Pelee in Martinique would erupt at the same time, causing floods that would wipe out the West coast of the United States. Cayce called the shift Earth Changes, and that it would be the beginning of the New Age of human experience.
“When there is a shifting of the poles; or a new cycle begins.”
– Edgar Cayce reading 826-8
Scientists studying paleomagnetics have theorized that the magnetic field of the planet has abruptly reversed every 50 000 to 100 000 years, going back 70 million years.
What are our planet’s magnetic poles?
Our planet has two magnetic poles, one at the most northern part of the planet, and the other at the most southern part. Opposite poles attract each other, while the same type of pole repels each other. These two poles are part of the magnetic field that surrounds the planet, and is what makes the use of compasses for navigation possible. The magnetic field is generated by the Earth’s molten core, an ocean of liquid iron 2000 miles beneath the surface. The magnetic field acts as a shelter, and protects us from deadly radiation in our solar system.
According to Cayce, the pole shift is one aspect of what he called Earth Changes
Earth changes include a variety of natural events, including earthquakes, the melting of the polar ice caps, solar flares etc. During his psychic readings he described these sort of earth changes as occurring millions of years ago on our planet, as well as tens of thousands of years ago in the events which destroyed the civilization of Atlantis. He also predicted future earth changes that would cause catastrophic damage.
There will be shifting then of the poles – so that where there has been those of a frigid or the semi-tropical will become the more tropical, and moss and fern will grow. And these will begin in those periods in ‘58 to ‘98, when these will be proclaimed as the periods when His light will be seen again in the clouds. As to times, as to seasons, as to places, alone is it given to those who have named the name – and who bear the mark of those of His calling and His election in their bodies. To them it shall be given.
Who Was Edgar Cayce?
Cayce was a healer and clairvoyant in the United States beginning in the 1920s. He conducted his work by going into a trance state and accessing the Akashic records, which is a psychic record of everything in existence. His readings mostly discussed health and dreams, as well as past lives and the ancient civilization Atlantis. Cayce also made many prophecies for the future, including the destruction of California.

Edgar Cayce on the Ancient Civilizations of Atlantis and Egypt
The Edgar Cayce materials provide fascinating insights into other periods of human history, in particular Egypt, as well as Atlantis, the alleged advanced civilization that existed in 50 000 BC. His readings describe Atlantis as being one of the most advanced civilization that has ever existed. He described Atlantis in great detail, which you can read about here, and also described an Atlantean library being hidden under the Sphinx in Egypt, which you can read about here.
Cayce’s Message of Kindness and Service to others
As Cayce continually did in his readings, he stressed that if enough individual people choose to live as good people, rather than selfishly, the natural disasters we may face in the future can be avoided.

The Work of Edgar Cayce
During Cayce’s channelings he often discussed dreams, health, healing and wellness, as well as extra sensory perceptions.
He described how all people are psychic to some extent, as it is a “natural ability of the soul”. Regarding extra sensory perception, His work discusses:
- Telepathy: communication directly from one mind to another
- Clairvoyance: able to see objects or events in the mind’s eye
- Precognition: able to see events before they occur
- Retrocognition: able to see events past events
- Psychometry: able to see the history of an object
Over two/thirds of Cayce’s channelings were regarding diagnosis and treatment of disease. Much of his work around health was focused on the role of the mind in determining and maintain our physical health. He asserted that the mind is a powerful tool for changing the body and that our thoughts and emotions express themselves in our physical body. Many of his patients came to him as a last resort after consulting conventional doctors, and in a trance, he would diagnose their condition.
