First and Foremost; you are not, nor ever will be a “g*psy witch” it is a slur, and if you think it is okay to call yourself such, get the fuck off of this blog and don’t come near me with a ten foot pole.
Romani culture has nothing to do with witchcraft, Romani culture is heavily tied to Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity.
Romani people to this day are typically stereotyped as thieves, criminals and varmint, in Europe it is common to have the Romani people segregated, denied services, denied healthcare, to most they aren’t people at all. Romani women are still frequently and forcefully sterilized like animals.
During the Holocaust, Hitler exterminated 500,000 Romani people, the persecution dates back easily over 600 years and into the Middles Ages.
We aren’t fortune tellers, witches, some mystical creature from a child fairy tale, or a Halloween costume.
You know the term “ gypped” that come from the stereotype of the Roma being dirty thieves and comes from the slur g*psy, and now some of yall are combing “hipster” and this to form “ gypster”, like ???
Everyone tries to say, “that this witchcraft community here on tumbr is so open to everyone”, but, if you are any non-white person you know that is bullshit and it has to change.
