Gypsies
are nomadic people who probably emerged out of northern India around the 10th
century and spread throughout Europe, the British Isles and eventually America.
Gypsy tradition has little in the way of its own religious beliefs but is
steeped in magic and superstition.
Their
language is based on Sanskrit and their customs are very similar to Hindu customs.
The
Myth of Gypsies.
They
were Egyptians scattered by Yahweh (Jehovah, or God); they were survivors of
Atlantis, left without a homeland; they had refused to help the Virgin Mary
during her flight to Egypt; they had forged three nails for Christ’s cross of
crucifixion. Voltaire proposed that they were descendants of the priests of
Isis and followers of Astarte.
Beng
is the Devil, the source of all evil. Like Christians, Gypsies believe the
Devil is ugly, with a tail and a reptilian appearance, and has the power to
shape-shift. Legends exist of pacts with Beng.
