- Story Text: A group of Peruvian spiritual leaders performed a ritual on the beach on Agua Dulce on Monday (November 7) predicting a win for Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton in Tuesday´s U.S. presidential elections.
Shamans from all over Peru gathered at the beach shore to perform a traditional ceremony known as "mesada", waving flowers, incense and other paraphernalia over images of Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump.
"We have brought lime, coconut, flowers, incense, skulls, all the spiritual elements to favour Hilary, because Donald has attacked her too much and she is going to be the future president of the United States, above all because of the Latino vote and immigrants´ votes, and because she will benefit Planet Mars, her aura and Hillary´s karma," said Shaman, Juan Osco.
Not all those participating were in favour of a Clinton win, however.
"We have called upon all the arts to lift up Donald Trump, so that he is the future president of the United States. So that his victory is 100%, we have brought flowers, fruit, swords, we have brought the blessed souls of the (ritual) table to give him strength, at this moment there is Planet Earth, the sea is Yakumama (Mother of Water), the Pachamama (Mother Earth), so that he is the new president of the United States," said spiritual leader, Marino de los Santos.
The latest opinion polls showed former Secretary of State Clinton ahead. A Fox News poll showed her leading Trump, a wealthy New York real estate developer, by 4 percentage points among likely voters. Clinton also held a 4-point lead in an ABC/Washington Post poll and a CBS news poll released on Monday. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
