簡介: |
吉普赛人自称 Rom 或 Romany,是一个起源于中世纪的印度的游牧民族(Nomadic)。他们广泛迁移,特别是到欧洲,在那里他们从事农场工人、金属工人、废品商和马商工作。他们还以演艺人员、算命先生和骗子谋生。时至今日,受到纳粹迫害和歧视的吉普赛人们有着悠久的魔法和萨满教传统。正如作者Leland指出的那样,这些做法与世界各地其他传统异教文化的做法有相似之处。
这本书讨论了吉普赛文化中使用的咒语、咒语和护身符,以及他们在与外族人互动时使用的更实用的魔法。作者Leland 还给出了一些普遍的算命方法,任何通灵者都可以好好研究一下;以及“惊天秘密”的细节,一个让你所有的钱都消失的魔术……
吉普赛生活具有浪漫的吸引力,在这本书和其他书籍中,普及吉普赛传说的作者Leland在这一形象塑造中起了不小的作用。然而,Leland清楚地表明路上的生活很艰难。吉普赛人在充满敌意的世界中的生存技能以及他们文化的长寿和持久性值得钦佩。
The Gypsies, who call themselves Rom or Romany, are a nomadic culture which originated in India during the Middle Ages. They migrated widely, particularly to Europe, where they worked as farm laborers, metalworkers, scrapdealers, and horsetraders. They also made a living as entertainers, fortune tellers, and grifters. Persecuted by the Nazis, and discriminated against to this day, the Rom have a long tradition of magic and shamanism. As Leland points out, these practices have parallels with those of other traditional pagan cultures around the world.
This book discusses spells, incantations and talismans used within Rom culture, as well as the more practical magic they use in their interaction with the Gorgios--the non-Gypsies. It is this latter topic which provides some of the most interesting and instructional reading. Leland gives some generalized methods of fortune-telling which any prospective psychic would do well to study; as well as the details of the \'Great Secret\', a magic trick in which all of your money disappears...
Gypsy life has a romantic appeal, and Leland, who popularized Gypsy lore in this and other books played no small part in this image-making. However, Leland makes it abudantly clear that life on the road was hard. The Rom people are to be admired for their survival skills in a hostile world, and for the longevity and persistance of their culture. |
