Peruvian shamans perform ritual to "clear path" for Kamala Harris to win US presidential vote: Video
As voting begins in the highly anticipated U.S. presidential election, Peruvian shamans in Lima have offered their spiritual insights, though their predictions are far from unanimous.
In a ritual held on the beach, shaman Ana Maria Simeon spoke about the election's uncertain outcome.
"Donald Trump is like the devil himself," she said, explaining that this belief has motivated many shamans to "clear Kamala Harris' path" in hopes that she becomes the first woman president of the United States.
"Within the sessions we have had I have been able to visualize that she is a very caring woman who wants to do a lot for the country," she added. "However, we have also seen that there is a black hand, that Donald Trump is like the devil himself and that is why many of us are clearing Kamala Harris' path so that she can achieve the office that the country needs so much."
However, shaman Juan de Diosnsaid his visions indicate that Donald Trump will ultimately emerge victorious. "My visions show that Trump will triumph," he told AFP.
The divided predictions from the shamans highlight the broader uncertainty surrounding the election, with polls indicating a tight race between Harris and Trump.
While their spiritual insights may not provide definitive answers, the shamans' ritual continues as a symbolic attempt to glimpse the outcome of one of the most contentious elections in recent U.S. history.
