Hello! I am searching for some religous answers! I want to find a religion i am comfortable with and maybe it might turn out to be my gypsy side or maybe the roman catholic side or maybe something new all together! i look forward to any thought provoking disscusion! Oh and if you have questions about the gypsies as so many gadje (that means non gypsy) do feel free to ask me!

Hiya! And welcome!

Which side is your gypsy side? Your mother or your fathers? My friend's dad was part gypsy, but he was a very big, scary man...(Okay, I was 7, but still...)

hi, Dreena! Welcome! Namaste!

If you feel like believing in a higher power and not sure in which, I suggest becoming a deist like me. You can find out more information about this religion on the deism forum.

Sounds a bit 'awkward' - I looked up all variations of Gulliette, lmarvran gypsies, but Google didn't come up with anything. From where did the tribe to which tou belong originate ? - I always understood that the main 'source' of gypsies originated from 'The eastern Block' - though I could'nt tell you where I got that from.:)

How about being a gypsy-christian? Have your christian beliefs with your gypsy upbringing. Simple! And make your partner take your surname...

the gypsy christian thing is what my parents tried with me. well, it was interesting to say th eleast and confusing to say the most. most christian groups belive the tarot and palm reading to be evil along with the power of sight and curses. besides gypsies belive in multipule entities while christians belive in one god only.
