ABOUT THE ROMANY AND GYPSY CULTURE
The Aztecs, Homer’s Greece, the England of King Arthur, and legions of other ancient culture have long since vanished. But the Romanies – sometimes known simply as Gypsies – survive, miraculously proving us with flesh – and – blood ink with the roots of civilization.
This tribe of nomads, which originated in the Hindu Kush region of Kashmir and Afghanistan and begin its wandering more than a millennium ago, first set roots in Western Europe six centuries ago. At once, they became objects of wonder, hatred, and controversy; They have remained so until this present day. Bringing them the exotic traditions and dialects of far-flung cultures, they become known as skilful storytelling, musicians, and fortune-tellers. They were gifted and enthusiastic practitioners of palmistry, crystallomancy and many other forms of divination, including Tarot card reading, which they claim to have introduced in Europe in 1497. In the Victorian era, they began travelling in glorious ornate horse-drawn wagons, or caravans, known as versos, which captured the public’s imagination and inspired countless paintings, poems, novels and children’s stories. Though highly romanticized, the Romanies have always been widely mistrusted and persecuted for their ways. They eventually incorporated Christianity in to their culture traditions, and some became less conspicuous by adopting non-gypsy names. Many became skilled tinsmith, coppersmiths, and blacksmiths.
In the British Isle, society remains puzzled by the wanders in its midst. Are they really a unique race of healers and clairvoyance? Or are they just Charlatans and parasites? Whatever the case, the Romanies remain apart from the rest of us, indifferent to our electronic culture and clinging as best they can to age-old customs, courtship rites and dialect.
Despite episodes of harsh persecution – including Hitler’s extermination of a half-million Gypsy’s before and during the Second World War – Romany communities are still found the length and breadth of Europe and deep inside the former Soviet Union. In Britain today, barely a dozen families are to be found wandering the country horse-drawn wagons. In a decade or so there may be none at all. If so rural life will be much the poorer, for Romanies are true friends with the earth. With their nomadic existence they have lived closer to nature for longer than anyone else, and they are among the last free spirits on the face of the globe.
