'Trump's Illness, Fall Of Maduro, End Of Ukraine War': Peruvian Shamans Predictions For 2026 Coming True?
The shamans also foretold the end of Russia's war in Ukraine. "I see that the conflict will end, they will raise the flag of peace," one of the shamans predicted.
Shamans in Peru gathered for an annual New Year's ritual last month where they made predictions for the year to come, including illness for U.S President Donald Trump and the downfall of Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro, according to a report by news agency Reuters.
Two of the predictions have seemed to come true already as US attacked Venezuela and Trump ordered the military capture of President Nicole Maduro on Saturday, Jan. 3. Maduro was brought to US, along with this wife, where they will face trial. The end of Ukraine war is also eyed by leaders after Trump spoke to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Dressed in traditional Andean ponchos and headdresses, the group performed a ceremony last month, and made predictions about the course of international relations, ongoing conflicts and the fate of world leaders.
"The US should prepare itself because Donald Trump will fall seriously ill," Juan de Dios Garcia proclaimed as he gathered with other shamans on a beach in southern Lima, wearing colorful ponchos and sprinkling flowers on the sand.
Shamans waved posters of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump, Maduro, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. "We see Nicolas Maduro defeated," said Garcia. "Nicolas Maduro will flee Venezuela. He will not be captured."
The shamans also foretold the end of Russia's war in Ukraine. "I see that the conflict will end, they will raise the flag of peace," Garcia predicted.
The shamans carried large posters of world leaders, over which they crossed swords, burned incense and some of which they stomped on.
“We have asked for Maduro to leave, to retire, for President Donald Trump of the United States to be able to remove him, and we have visualized that next year this will happen,” said shaman Ana María Simeón, according to Associated Press.
The ceremony is performed every year in late December. The shamans had previously predicted an end to the Ukraine war - in 2023. The group has a mixed record with its annual predictions. Last year, they warned a “nuclear war” would break out between Israel and Gaza, where a ceasefire is now in place.
During the ceremony, the Peruvian shamans placed blankets with yellow flowers, coca leaves, swords and other objects on La Herradura beach, asking for positive energy for the new year, according to Reuters.
After dancing in circles and playing ancestral instruments, the shamans asked for peace in the Middle East, an end to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the fall of President Maduro. The prayers with flowers and incense, and dances, are intended to encourage leaders to make good decisions.
