The Gypsy community, living with its own concepts and laws, has since time immemorial received a reputation for being mysterious and incomprehensible. The image of the gypsies in the people is associated with nomadic tribes consisting of horse thieves and witches.
These "children of the steppes" diligently protect the secrets of their religion from outsiders, passing on their secret knowledge to the younger generation. Their prophecies, conspiracies and love spells are very popular among lovers of the occult sciences.
Gypsies have many methods of divination. Fortune-telling is more often done by women, but especially strong clairvoyants are found among men. Some skeptics believe that their predictions are only guesses and coincidences, built on the insight and observation, experience and tricks of gypsies, who are good psychologists and hypnotists.
However, behind this lies not only observation, but also something that cannot be explained by simple cunning and communication talent. Fortunetellers quite accurately name names, places, dates - facts known to a narrow circle of people.
In their actions, fortunetellers use cards, magic crystals, stones, beans, water, giving very detailed descriptions of the future.
It is noteworthy that usually shuvanis (sorceresses) do not guess their fellow tribesmen. This is due not to the fact that their stories are deceptive, but to the fact that the Romals themselves (as the Gypsies call themselves) are practically not interested in what awaits them tomorrow, according to their traditions, they live in the present day.
Gypsies nomads very much believe in omens - in the evil eye, curses and damage. This became the basis of their wandering existence. Therefore, their sacraments are mainly aimed at rituals of cleansing from curses and protection from evil spirits. Shuvani gypsies never send spells for no reason, But if they are sure that someone is encroaching on them, they will redirect negative energy to its owner. It is easy to jinx a person, even just by looking at him, therefore, among gypsies, especially children, it is very common to wear various amulets.

In Romanian chavelas, for example, during a wedding, the bride holds a silver coin in her hands, trying to protect herself from the demonic evil eye. After the end of the wedding ceremony, the newlywed drops the money, thereby paying the devil. Cowrie shells are often used as a protective amulet, which are also used for infertility. For cleaning, they practice bathing in flowing reservoirs (river, stream), pouring salted water over them.
According to Shuvani beliefs, salt is a symbol of new life and purity that has arisen. It is used in many rituals, in particular when a newborn baby is given a name. If a gypsy receives a gift from an unfriendly neighbor, then he buries the received thing in salt for a day. Another important miraculous attribute is the horse horseshoe, which protects against failure.
Fire has great cleansing properties and ceremonies are held around a bonfire or using candles. The special attention of the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity is attracted by the love magic of the gypsies, which has incredibly effective power. Through such sorcery, you can return or achieve love, revive the former relationship between spouses and save the family from decay, cause attraction between a guy and a girl.
For the emergence of passionate feelings, together with spells, they use special potions and decoctions from roots and herbs. It is important to note that all these witchcraft influences are not compulsory and do not affect the will of a person, forcing him to fall in love with someone. They only help to sort out their heart's feelings, give a certain impetus for the further development of relations and will have the proper effect if the object of action has sympathy or love for the customer.
