The Traditional Gypsy Witchcraft that I was introduced to a few years back to me really opened me up spiritually.
My path fits right in with the Gypsy path,but does focus on the Indian connection,the Hindus that actually still practice this path openly,plus all that we have learned through The Clan of Tubal Cain,the great traditional witchcraft adopted from a family witchcraft that has existed since the 1700's,maybe longer
Studying Gnosticism,Druidism,Yazidis, Quabala,Tarot,Hinduism,Gypsy,and Perennial philosophy witch has a melding of all spiritual principles before watered down with ego and spiritual nonsense and my path of Traditional Witchcraft.
Or path is part of the western and eastern mystery traditions.
Many of the European witches may identify outwardly of the local religions,but inwardly they still use the Old Gods,for example,all 'Christian' Romani wore crosses, but called them 'Trushul', derived from Trishula, the Trident of Shiva (symbolizing birth, life and death.
It is a Luciferian stream,connected to the practical spirituality ,the underlying streams of all beliefs.
All beliefs have a common source,from the earliest days of Hinduism and Zoroastrianism, the first beliefs that gave birth to the rest.Looking back...
You can hear all sorts of stuff about them.Children of Cain
Let?s think about Cain. According to the Bible, he was kicked out of Eden for having killed his brother.
Let?s think about Eden, allegedly located in Mesopotamia in present-day Iraq. But the birthplace of human civilisation was actually the Indus Valley in present-day Pakistan, and that loction also corresponds with the geography of Eden described in the Bible.
Who else got kicked out of the Indus Valley? The people of Sind or the Dravidians ? they got kicked out by Aryan tribes invading from the Ukraine during the period between 2150 and 1250 BC, from whom most of the present-day inhabitants of India and indeed most Europeans are descended. Some of the people of Sind went to Southern India, where they still live and speak Dravidian, but most began a journey that took them to every corner of Europe and the world. Some of them have never stopped travelling ? either literally or metaphorically, because they are always far from the home they were evicted from more than 3,000 years ago ? and they are the Sinti or Roma.
Let?s think about the Old Testament. Who wrote it? People who wanted to rewrite history, a patriarchal priesthood. Who else wanted to rewrite history? The Aryans, who wanted to whitewash over the history and religion of the people who were there before them. The expulsion from Paradise, first of Adam and then of Cain, was a mythological metaphor to demonise the earlier culture. And so it has been ever since ? that is the history of the world.
So, yes ? in a very profound and well-hidden sense, the Roma are the descendants of Cain: Cain and indeed ?sin? itself are mythological figures representing the ancient pre-Aryan culture from which civilisation, religion and the Roma sprang.
Of course, the Aryans wanted to claim civilisation and God for themselves, and it was they who instituted patriarchal culture in the Near East, from where it would eventually pursue the Roma all over the world. They also demonised Adam?s first wife Lilith, who unlike Eve wasn?t taken from Adam?s side, not to mention the female consort of God himself, Asherah.
The nails though, that has got to be a straightforward case of projection, because iron smithing was the reason for the Aryan conquest ? iron weapons were just superior.
This demonisation of Sind was a prototype for the ?history? of the world as we have been successfully persuaded of it ? and the Aryan supremacists have never stopped persecuting those groups who stand as a living testimony to their foundation legends, their version of historical and religious truth.
So they claim that the witch cults,not Wicca,but the authentic Traditional Witchcraft was started by the movement,and spread world wide as they traveled.
If you do some research,some of the strongest witchcraft families share an ongoing linage to Tubal Cain.
Through portent, fate, and act of faith we became the lineage bearers of the Robert Cochrane tradition held in the covenant through the bequest of Evan John Jones. We are the People of Goda, Clan of Tubal Cain and remain a closed Initiatory group aligned to the Shadow Mysteries within the Luciferian stream dedicated to experiential gnosis. As students of arte we mediate the ancestral stream via teaching through practice with the sacred tenets of Clan of Tubal Cain ? the convocation of Truth, Love and Beauty. The Word is thus manifest in deed and vision.
?A driving thirst for knowledge is the forerunner of wisdom. Knowledge is a state that all organic life posesses, wisdom is the reward of the spirit, gained in the search for knowledge. Truth is variable ? what is true now, will not be true tomorrow, since the temporal truths are dependent upon ethics and social mores ? therefore wisdom is possibly eternal Truth, untouched by man?s condition. So we must come to the heart of the People, a belief that is based upon Eternity, and not upon social needs or pressures ? the ?witch? belief then is concerned with wisdom, our true name, then is the wise people and wisdom is our aim.?
