News Colombia.
Regina de Jesús Betancourt Ramírez, better known as Regina 11It is one of the most enigmatic and eccentric characters in the recent history of Colombia.
Witch, mentalist, parapsychologist, presidential candidate and leader of a political-esoteric movement, his life is a cross between reality and myth.

The origins of a myth
Regina 11 ensures that her destiny was marked since she was four years old, when, according to her story, in a dream she appeared who would later become Pope John XXIII.
In that vision, the pontiff revealed that the number eleven would be key in his life, and since then he adopted that number as a personal symbol.
Throughout his life, he consolidated himself as a figure in the esoteric world in Colombia. He made consultations, read the Tarot and offered parapsychology teachings.
But its influence was not limited to magic, but transcended politics with a charism that few have managed to match.
Regina’s prophecies
