ROMANY ….[GYPSY]… CHRISTMAS
JAN 6 AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF MY CULTURE AND BELIEFS
JAN 6 IS OUR CHRISTMAS OUR OWN SPECAIL CELEBRATION
I AM NOT SURE IF ALL ROM CELEBRATE NOW I CAN ONLY SHARE WITH YOU WHAT IS TRUE FOR MY LOT
THE STORY GOES
LONG AGO THERE WERE TWO BROTHERS CAIN AND ABLE … SOUND FAMILIAR
CAIN STAYED CLOSE TO THE OLD WAYS AND HONORED THE FATHER/MOTHER CREATOR WITH GIFTS OF THE EARTH
THESE INCLUDED RITES THAT WERE PRECIOUS TO THE OLD ONES
ABLE THE YOUNGER CHOSE THE PATH OF THE NEW GOD
IT HAS EVER BEEN THAT THE GODS OF THE OLD BECOME THE DEVILS OF THE NEW AND THIS IS APPARENTLY EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE
OVER TIME THIS LED TO MANY DISPUTES AND UPRISEINGS …. THERE WAS RUMOR OF A WAR EVEN
EVENTUALY IT CAME THAT CAIN WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF HIS BROTHER AND WAS CAST OUT … AND WITH HIM THE OLD WAYS … IT WAS NEVER STATED AS IT IS ELSEWHERE THAT CAIN KILLED ABLE… SO IT MAY WELL HAVE BEEN IN THE COURSE OF BATTLE
WHATEVER CAIN WAS NOT FORGIVEN AND CAST OUT TO ROAM AS HE WOULD
NOW IT CAME TO PASS THAT AFTER MANY YEARS OF TRAVELLING CAIN WAS RESTING BESIDE A WELL ONE DAY
WHEN THE MAIDENS OF THE VILLAGE CAME TO DRAW WATER, WITH THEM WAS THE DAUGHTER OF THE KING
CAIN CAME TO THEIR ADD WHEN THEY WERE IN DANGER OF ATTACK AND CARRIED THE WATER BACK TO THE VILLAGE
HE WAS PRESENTED AT THE TENTS OF THE KING
OVER TIME HE BECAME ADVISOR AND GUIDED THE PEOPLE IN THE WAYS OF WORKING WITH NOT AGAINST THE LAND
HE TAUGHT THEM THE WISDOM OF THE STARS
HOW TO TAME THE WILD CREATURES
AND THE PATHS AND TRUTHS OF THE OLD WAYS
IN TIME CAIN WED THE DAUGHTER OF THE KING AND IN TURN BECAME KING
HE LED THE PEOPLE INTO PROSPERITY AND STRENGTH
AND THE PEOPLE WERE HAPPY AND CONTENTED
THEIR NUMBERS GREW AS DID THE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM THROUGH THE YEARS
AND AS SEASONS PAST THEY CAME TO THE KNOWING THAT A GREAT KING WOULD BE BORN AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO JOURNEY TO WELCOME THIS EVENT
AND SO IT WAS THAT CASPER THEIR GREATEST MAN OF WISDOM, ONE WHO WAS VERSED IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE STARS AND THE MAGICAL PATHWAYS
JOINED HIS LEARNED COLLEQUES AND SET OUT TO HONOUR THE NEW KING
THEY ARRIVED AND FOUND THE NEW BABE IN A STABLE IN BETHLEHEM AND THE DAY IS NOW NAMED JANUARY 6
AND SO ON THIS DAY WE CELEBRATE OUR UNIQUE BEGINNINGS , IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MANY WERE CAST OUT WITH CAIN, HIS ARMIES, HIS CHILDREN, HIS FOLLOWERS AND THESE SET UP A NEW PEOPLE IN A NEW PLACE
MANY TIMES THIS HAS BEEN DEBATED AROUND THE FIRES
WHAT EVER THE TRUTH WE KNOW WE ARE UNIQUE AND WE CAME FROM THE STARS IN THE BEGINNING OF TIME TO WALK THE LAND IN HONOUR OF THE OLD ONES
WE CELEBRATE BY SHARING IN THE GIVING OF GIFTS
BUT NOT IN THE WAY OF YOUR CHRISTMAS
WE GIVE OF THE HEART
SOMETHING THAT HAS MEANING TO US PERSONALY
THAT WE MAY SHARE THE JOY , WISDOM OR HEALING THAT IT IS THE GIFT
IT IS A GIFT OF SELF
WE OF COURSE DANCE , SING , PARTY AND ENJOY PORK AND PORT AND WHAT EVER ELSE ARE THE BLESSINGS OF THE EARTH GIFTED US AT THE TIME
SO I INVITE YOU TO SHARE IN OUR JOY
TO CELEBRATE OUR PEOPLE
TO WELCOME OUR LEARNING AND WISDOM INTO YOUR HEART
FOR WE ARE ALL ONE
KUSTI BOK … GOOD LUCK
MAGGIE
