I believe that Gypsy Witchcraft is a old form of Wicca, even thou they believed differently then in modern times. Now, a Gypsy can choose their own God and Goddess like in the religion of Wicca.
What is included:
Herbal Magick
Divination
Elemental Magick
Natural Magick
Green Magick
They are many more that may not be listed here. If you wish to list one or more, Do so in a Reply.
You can hear all sorts of stuff about them.Children of Cain
Lets think about Cain. According to the Bible, he was kicked out of Eden for having killed his brother.
Lets think about Eden, allegedly located in Mesopotamia in present-day Iraq. But the birthplace of human civilisation was actually the Indus Valley in present-day Pakistan, and that loction also corresponds with the geography of Eden described in the Bible.
Who else got kicked out of the Indus Valley? The people of Sind or the Dravidians they got kicked out by Aryan tribes invading from the Ukraine during the period between 2150 and 1250 BC, from whom most of the present-day inhabitants of India and indeed most Europeans are descended. Some of the people of Sind went to Southern India, where they still live and speak Dravidian, but most began a journey that took them to every corner of Europe and the world. Some of them have never stopped travelling either literally or metaphorically, because they are always far from the home they were evicted from more than 3,000 years ago and they are the Sinti or Roma.
Lets think about the Old Testament. Who wrote it? People who wanted to rewrite history, a patriarchal priesthood. Who else wanted to rewrite history? The Aryans, who wanted to whitewash over the history and religion of the people who were there before them. The expulsion from Paradise, first of Adam and then of Cain, was a mythological metaphor to demonise the earlier culture. And so it has been ever since that is the history of the world.
So, yes in a very profound and well-hidden sense, the Roma are the descendants of Cain: Cain and indeed sin itself are mythological figures representing the ancient pre-Aryan culture from which civilisation, religion and the Roma sprang.
Of course, the Aryans wanted to claim civilisation and God for themselves, and it was they who instituted patriarchal culture in the Near East, from where it would eventually pursue the Roma all over the world. They also demonised Adams first wife Lilith, who unlike Eve wasnt taken from Adams side, not to mention the female consort of God himself, Asherah.
The nails though, that has got to be a straightforward case of projection, because iron smithing was the reason for the Aryan conquest iron weapons were just superior.
This demonisation of Sind was a prototype for the history of the world as we have been successfully persuaded of it and the Aryan supremacists have never stopped persecuting those groups who stand as a living testimony to their foundation legends, their version of historical and religious truth.
So they claim that the witch cults,not Wicca,but the authentic Traditional Witchcraft was started by the movement,and spread world wide as they traveled.
If you do some research,some of the strongest witchcraft families share an ongoing linage to Tubal Cain.
Through portent, fate, and act of faith we became the lineage bearers of the Robert Cochrane tradition held in the covenant through the bequest of Evan John Jones. We are the People of Goda, Clan of Tubal Cain and remain a closed Initiatory group aligned to the Shadow Mysteries within the Luciferian stream dedicated to experiential gnosis. As students of arte we mediate the ancestral stream via teaching through practice with the sacred tenets of Clan of Tubal Cain the convocation of Truth, Love and Beauty. The Word is thus manifest in deed and vision.
A driving thirst for knowledge is the forerunner of wisdom. Knowledge is a state that all organic life posesses, wisdom is the reward of the spirit, gained in the search for knowledge. Truth is variable what is true now, will not be true tomorrow, since the temporal truths are dependent upon ethics and social mores therefore wisdom is possibly eternal Truth, untouched by mans condition. So we must come to the heart of the People, a belief that is based upon Eternity, and not upon social needs or pressures the witch belief then is concerned with wisdom, our true name, then is the wise people and wisdom is our aim.
Robert Cochrane 1931-1966

I read your views of Gypsy Witchcraft and I found them interesting. But I do have one question maybe you can find the answer to: If Gypsy Witchcraft started in India, then how did the practice of Magick end up in the UK? I am not being mean but think about it? The UK has been known for achemy and druidism. Aren't they also part of the brotherhood of Magick? I believe most practitioners of Wicca, Gypsy Witchcraft, or any kind of Magick, are people that want to find their true calling in the world of Wicca. I chose this covern because ALL of the members look to me to be wonderful loving people. I just hope that I can find my true calling with the help of all of you.
Well Gypsys were known as witches also known as thiefs using magic for scams people. Throughout history, they bad names, they have been also known as "evil doers". I believe the origin of Gypsys are from Romania.
Gypsies aren't always Romanian... I come from a long line of Irish Gypsies, many of which have used and believed in Magick. A gift was passed through the family, a Divination and some kind of spirit and ghosts gift.
Gypsies have been given a bad name over the years... What with stealing and scamming...
