When I studied all the supernatural phenomena for my writing, I met all kinds of beliefs and superstitions. From four leaf clover to black cats, to witches and their families, to the full moon and broken mirrors, I almost read articles and stories about everything. At least in my opinion, what often happens is the belief in the curse of Gypsy.
What is the Gypsy Curse? How are they different from conventional curses? More importantly, are they true? Ok, even though I read everything, I still don't know. This mythology is centered on Gypsies or Romanians and dates back to the Middle Ages.
The Romans were descendants of Indian nomads. Moving from one area to another, even into Europe, where they are said to be mixed with prejudice. It seems that in India, there is a strict caste system, and the abandoned people of the system have historically stayed on this land. One theory is that these abandoned people have become Gypsies, composed of invulnerable people, including thieves, actors, musicians and magicians, who are in conflict with local religions.
It is said that over time, some Gypsies began to produce psychic power, and may also come from their magicians ancient people. These gifts include being able to look to the future, being able to talk to the deceased, and being able to float.
Occasionally, the rumors about these harmless supernatural gifts have become darker, and some talk about the Gypsy curse.
The Gypsy Curse was accused of crop failure and sick animals to degraded milk and death. Some people, Gypsies and non-Gypsies, are said to be able to eliminate the curse... pay the price. Often, cursed people must find the original Gypsies who cursed them and begged the curse to be lifted.
There seems to be no difference between the Gypsy curse and the curse from any other "magic" entity. The only real difference is that other curses disappear into folklore, and the Gypsy curse seems to be just a refusal to die.
For a rational mind, the fear of a gypsy curse is just an excuse to ridicule and hate a group of people who don't understand the most, but as a writer, I have to admit that it brings some very interesting reading.
