Shamans in Peru made a series of dramatic predictions for 2026 during their annual New Year ritual, forecasting illness for former US President Donald Trump and the collapse of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s regime.
The ritual, held on a beach in southern Lima, is a traditional year-end ceremony in which shamans perform symbolic acts and offer spiritual forecasts for global political leaders and major world events. Wearing colourful ponchos, participants displayed images of international leaders, burned incense, crossed swords and scattered flowers as part of the ceremony.
One of the shamans predicted that Trump would face serious health issues in the coming year, while claiming that Maduro would be defeated politically and forced to flee Venezuela. The predictions were presented as spiritual visions rather than evidence-based assessments.
Images of other world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, were also featured during the ritual.
The shamans further predicted a positive political outcome for Peru, claiming that Keiko Fujimori would win the country’s presidential election in 2026 after multiple unsuccessful attempts in the past.
On the global stage, they also expressed hope for peace, forecasting an end to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the restoration of stability in the region.
The annual ceremony is held every December and routinely attracts attention for its bold geopolitical forecasts. Some of the shamans had previously predicted an end to the Ukraine conflict in earlier years, highlighting the symbolic and speculative nature of the ritual.
