Who is Durek Verrett, the “6th generation” shaman that Princess Martha Louise of Norway is suspected of marrying?

In the hunter-gatherer societies of Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania, and in the prehistoric cultures of Europe, a shaman (“one who knows”) is someone who is endowed with the ability to heal, communicate with spirits and dead ancestors, as well as to predict without a crystal ball. It is the same profession that Durek Verret, a self-proclaimed “sixth-generation shaman” from California, claims to have – with great benefit – when he marries Norwegian princess Marta Luisa next Saturday, August 31. The ceremony was the scene of great controversy, as the couple sold the exclusive link to the magazine “Hello!”/”Hola!” and Netflix, instead of making the footage available to the country’s public media, such as NTB and NRK, which are traditionally responsible for documenting weddings and various real events.
