At the top of a sacred hill in Lima, Peruvian shamans provided with coca leaves, swords and ceramic pots with fire predicted that Russia and the United States will solve their conflicts and that the pandemic will continue with new variants.
Dressed in traditional costumes, indigenous Andeans, the jungle and the coast of Peru, they prayed on Wednesday to ‘Tayta Inti’ (Father Sun) and ‘Pachamama’ (Mother Earth) with the photographs of US President Joe Biden of Russia Vladimir Putin and the Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelensky.
"We have visualized that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is not going to take place because a dialogue with the United States is going to be reached, which is going to come on good terms."Shaman Walter Alarcón, president of the Organization of Shamans of Peru, told AFP.
"We have not seen conflict between the two countries, you will see dialogue, conversation"Alarcón added after whipping with yellow flowers and spraying ayahuasca with perfumes on the photographs of the presidents.
On some colorful blankets spread on the ground they put oranges, tangerines, bananas and apples. In addition, they used corn grains and other Andean cereals to draw the numbers for the year 2022.
One of the shamans blew a conch shell like a trumpet, which started the morning ceremony in this "apu" (sanctuary) located above the clouds that covered Lima.
In the ritual, the healers also placed on some stones the photographs of the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the Mexican Andrés López Obrador and the Chilean Sebastián Piñera.
In addition, they took the photograph of the Peruvian soccer team to give it good vibes in the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
РWith ayahuasca РThe shamans stated that during their evening soiree they drank ayahuasca (yag̩ or wine of death), a traditional drink from the Amazon extracted from a vine of the same name, also known as "spirit rope", which produces hallucinogenic effects.
"We have visualized that the transmission of command from Piñera to Boric of a leftist tendency is going to be very good. There will be disagreements, but in the end the government will remain in Chile"said Alarcón.
"Maduro will continue to govern, but for a short time. López Obrador will go down in history for his way of governing"added.
The shamans visualized that next year the trend in Latin American countries will be to elect left-wing candidates.
"Everyone is going to be leftists here, now Brother Lula from Brazil is going to join"declared the shaman Felix Roldan.
– Sin Castillo -The curandera Ana MarÃa Simeón assured that the Peruvian president, Pedro Castillo, who was sworn in on July 28, will not continue in office due to betrayals of his relatives.
"He is going to be forced to leave. Things are getting dark for the president, many are going to betray him. We did not end the government with him", said Simeon dressed in white and an Andean hat.
Simeon pointed out that in 2022 new variants of covid 19 will appear, but they will not be so lethal.
– To the World Cup -The shamans assured that the Peruvian team located in fifth place in the South American qualifiers will achieve good results in their last matches between January and March to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
"We have seen that the national team is going to do very well, it does qualify for the World Cup", assured Alarcón.
"The selection is in ups and downs, but we are going to the World Cup, "Roldán said.
The Inca squad adds 17 points and temporarily occupies fifth place, with the same number of units as Colombia, fourth due to its best goal difference (-1 to -5).
Peru will face on January 27 and February 1, in the next double World Cup date precisely Colombia as a visitor, and Ecuador as a local.
