Opis

Gypsy Wisdom is a wonderful blend of factual information on gypsy lore and autobiographical memories of a true Romany. From this book you can learn the principles of tarot reading, recipes for potions and spells, healing remedies, meditation techniques and even how to make gypsy soap. The author Gypsy Raven (Cristina) reflects on her teenage years, when she was instructed in the arts of fortune telling by her grandmother Antolina and her grandmother's friend Estrella. These anecdotes lift the book from what could have be a basic instruction manual to an escape into the Romany world. You travel through the instruction process with 14-year old Cristina, learning as she learns, and gaining the wisdom of the older gypsies with the same caveats and care. Gypsy Wisdom extols the power of positive thought, self-belief and a holistic spiritualism, as well as expelling some of the myths around gypsies, such as the gypsy curse.
