PERU — New year predictions: Shamans held photos of U.S. President Joe Biden and Russia's President Vladimir Putin during a year-end ritual where they predicted political and social issues expected to occur in next year in Lima, on Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2021. The shamans made symbolic payments to Mother Earth while asking that the COVID-19 pandemic come to an end and that world leaders be cleansed so they can make wise decisions in the coming year.
