[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation) Let's listen. I swear by Guaicaipuro and the Indigenous peoples.

[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=6) The first person Maduro swears by at his swearing-in is the Indian Guaicaipuro, one of the three powers of Santería in Venezuela.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=14) And yes, it's true that the Indian Guaicaipuro was one of the first prominent leaders to oppose the Spanish occupation.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=21) But above him are Francisco de Miranda, Simón Bolívar, Páez, Piar, so it can't be a coincidence that he is the first person Maduro swears by.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=31) Let's hear the context. In Venezuelan Santería, the Indian Guaicaipuro is invoked to ask for protection, strength, and courage in difficult situations.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=42) It's believed he helps people defend themselves against enemies and overcome obstacles, offering support to those who need it.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=49) But it doesn't end there, because the second person Maduro swears by is Negro Primero.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=56) I swear by Pedro Camejo, Negro Primero. One of the Three Powers of Santería, too.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=62) So, of the Three Powers of Venezuelan Santería, he names the first two.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=67) He says Negro Primero's spirit is invoked to ask for protection, courage, and justice.

[1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=73) He is considered a protective spirit who helps overcome adversity and face difficult situations with courage.

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=81) Besides all that, we can notice a red ribbon on one of his wrists, a red cord tied around it, which I don't think is for fashion, because it doesn't go with that outfit.

[1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=91) In Venezuelan Santería, this kind of knot has a meaning.

[1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=95) He says it protects against negative energy and the evil eye, also for balancing negative and positive energies.

[1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=103) Now, this is information for the spiritually awakened, for those with discernment who know what's going on.

[1:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=110) The very word of God, in Romans 6:12, tells us that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

[2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=126) That's why in my daily prayer, I pray, Lord, we break every covenant made, every chain, and declare that Venezuela is for Christ and You will bring justice.

[2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=136) Gentlemen, if we don't win in the spiritual world, we won't win in the earthly one.

[2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/cy3aUwRMTjyp/en/maduro-s-oath-to-guaicaipuro-and-negro-primero-a-spiritual-interpretation?t=140) Kilómetro, reporting in from here. May God bless you all.
