The Magickal Gypsy Witch

It is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the Gypsy.

~ Franz Liszt

No matter their origin, gypsies are best known for their psychic prowess, their gift for fortune telling, and the ability to attract good fortune or bring about a curse. There are four popular types of gypsy fortune telling (Dukkerin’). These are palm reading, tea leaves, crystal gazing, and cards.

Gypsy magick indeed reflects a lifestyle. It is not just about spells, reading tea leaves, and fortune telling. Most of the magick reflects strong ties to nature, elemental spirits, and the planets. Gypsy magick requires complete faith in the magick at hand; it must be accepted as a natural part of human existence. Gypsy magick can be considered folk magick in that it is based on simple principles and rituals and does not require any kind of fancy occult paraphernalia.

To practice Gypsy magick, you must recognize the power of the Universe. You must develop your confidence in your own personal power, and cultivate a respect for the environment and all living things. Learn to live in the moment, and break free from material things. In other words, don’t spend your time worrying about how much you can accumulate, and don’t let it get to you when you experience a loss of something material. Stuff is only stuff, but magick is harmony, and magick is power (from the Gypsy Wisdom Spellbook, by Denise Alvarado).

	Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Cards I have to admit, I am partial to this deck, which has been around since 1904. It was my very first fortune telling deck when I was about 6 years old and learning the old Spiritualist ways in New Orleans. In fact, I still have a deck! According to The Hochman Encyclopedia of American Playing Cards: "Gypsy Witch celebrated FORTUNE TELLING cards by Madame Lenormand, copyrighted 1903 by Frederick J. Drake Co., first published by Home Game Co., in 1904. This deck has been published continuously and is currently being made by U. S. Playing Card Co., using the same faces. The recent edition has a witch on the backs replacing the original river scene." This vintage deck contains 52 cards with miniature cards in the upper left corners and descriptive pictures with meanings on the remaining portions of the cards. It is also suitable as a regular deck of playing cards. Includes instructions. For those with a background in cartomancy, this deck will not disappoint. With the meanings printed directly on the cards, the diviner weaves a story based on the spatial relationships of the cards. $10.95 Temporarily Unavailable

What is New Orleans Voodoo Hoodoo?

The term voodoo hoodoo is commonly used by Louisiana locals to describe our unique brand of New Orleans Creole Voodoo. It refers to a blending of religious and magickal elements. There is the tendency for many people to separate Voodoo the religion from hoodoo the magick. However, this separation did not occur in New Orleans as it did in other areas of the country. The so-called magick is part of the religion; the charms are medicine and spiritual tools that hold the inherent healing mechanisms of the traditional religion and culture. Voodoo in New Orleans is a way of life for those who believe. A fellow New Orleans native and contemporary gris gris man Dr. John explains it this way:

In New Orleans, in religion, as in food or race or music, you can’t separate nothing from nothing. Everything mingles each into the other – Catholic saint worship with gris gris spirits, evangelical tent meetings with spiritual church ceremonies – until nothing is purely itself but becomes part of one fonky gumbo. That is why it is important to understand that in New Orleans the idea of voodoo – or as we call it gris gris – is less a distinct religion than a way of life. (Rebennack & Rummel, 1994, p. 159).
