In recent decades, royalty around the world have given up official roles due to scandals and family feuds, or to marry ordinary or divorced citizens.
This week, a Norwegian princess gave up her royal duties for the sake of a modern shaman.
Princess Martha Louise, the 51 year old daughter of King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway, became engaged in June to Durek Verrett, a famous American shaman and inventor of Optimizer Spirita healing spell for which he sells on his website $ 222.
Since their engagement, the Norwegian media and public have focused attention on Verrett, criticizing him for saying he used the amulet to fight the coronavirus, for suggesting cancer was a choice, and for saying he was a “hybrid species”. “. of reptile”.
“Whenever a person from the royal family gets engaged, it creates a media storm,” said Martha Louise in a joyful Instagram video this week, “so this time too.”
After recent “discussions with the media,” she added, she, Verrett and the royal family have made “some adjustments”, including resign from their official roles.
From now on, the princess and Verrett “seek to distinguish more clearly between their activities and the Royal House of Norway,” the royal family said in a statement, thanking them for carrying out his duties “with warmth, care and deep commitment “.
Martha Louise will retain her title, but the couple “will not indicate an association with the Royal House of Norway on their social media channels”.
Martha Louise said the decision was amicable and Harald said in a television interview that he and Verrett “I agree to disagree“.
Martha Louise’s interest in alternative treatments and her claims as a clairvoyant predate her relationship with Verrett.
From an early age, she says on the website of a spiritual center she co-founded, she had been there “viewfeelings of people and, through his communication with horses and other animals, he said, he had also started talking to angels.
Her celestial interactions led her 15 years ago to co-found the center, where students are encouraged to find their “inner source of truth” and connect with “the angels and the divine universe”.
In a broadcast seminar, he instructed attendees:
“Ask your Guardian Angel if there is anything he wants to tell you.”
His affinity for the supernatural has attracted attention in Norway for over a decade.
According to a 2012 survey, while 15% of the Norwegian population believed Martha Louise communicated with angels and the dead, 47% thought her practices had a negative effect on the royal family.
His least popular skill, according to polls, was making contact with the dead, which he claimed in media interviews around 2010 that he could do.
One of the most famous clairvoyants in Norway at the time, “the Snasa man”, told the Norwegian newspaper VG that it was not possible to talk to the dead, and the bishop of the diocese of Bjorgvin, in western Norway, called at the time for some of your “highly questionable” mid-sized businesses.
Another bishop said there was a line between talking to the angels and talking to the dead, warning the princess I shouldn’t go through it.
But with a fascination for the ghosts and spirits that have sprung up in the country, he has had some follow-up among healers and life coaches.
his mother tooQueen, she publicly defended her abilities, comparing her to the witches who were burned at the stake because they thought the earth was round.
But the criticism that followed Martha Louise’s engagement to Verrett was apparently too much for the couple and the royal family.
The couple met in Los Angeles in 2018, where Verrett lived, Martha Louise’s manager Carina Scheele said in a message.
In America, the shaman had many famous followers, clients and friends, including Gwyneth Paltrow, whom he called “my family”.
In 2019, the princess invited Verrett to Norway to accompany her on a tour called “The princess and the shaman “.
But in Norway, the shaman was convicted of spreading unscientific beliefs, charges the couple have widely dismissed as a form of racism against Verrett, who is black.
A pre-engagement Instagram post in which Verrett called himself a “hybrid species of reptiles and Andromeda“which came to” shake up the system “, but published by the main Norwegian newspaper screenshots.
Verrett said he believes in conventional medicine because it saved him.
But it also preaches the benefits of alternative medicine.
In his 2019 book, “Spirit Hacking,” Verrett wrote that he toured hospitals and asked cancer patients, including children, “Why do you want this cancer?”, Citing relationship problems as possible causes.
He added that doctors could prescribe chemotherapy because they get “huge scrutiny” from the manufacturers.
