Can you name serious illnesses that you have cured?
I have rescued people from cancer, others from coma and many others.
(An excerpt from an interview with Durek Verrett)
At the end of January a new-age company called Tveir heimar(e. Two Worlds) brought in an American showman to Iceland by the name of Durek Verrett. He is a self-proclaimed “shaman” and claims to have special type of abilities that can somehow facilitate some form of recovery for people with cancer, leukemia and other variations of serious illnesses and symptoms, using so called “shamanistic techniques”.
On the morning of the 23rd of February the atheist group Vantrú (Icelandic for “disbelief”) published an article on their website which created quite a fuss in the news and social media in Iceland. To fully appreciate the furore Vantrú created in the Icelandic community with the satirical statement, some history and context is needed.
At the last board meeting it was decided that starting from the 1st of March, each citizen of Iceland will be registered as a member of Vantrú. You, Dear Reader, will therefore become a member of Vantrú, as of now the most numerous organization in Iceland - unless you specifically decide to disaffiliate yourself from our society.
