The Gypsy Spell Book...

An old Gypsy saying:

If foky kek jins bute, Ma sal at lende; For sore mush jins chomany That tute kek jins.

Translation:

"Whatever ignorance men may show, From none disdainful turn; For every one doth something know Which you have yet to learn."

Gypsy History..

The Romanies, or better known as the Gypsies, originated in the Hindu Kush region of Kashmir and Afghanistan. They began wondering more then a Millennium ago, they first set foot in Western Europe over six centuries ago. They became the objects of wonder, hatred and controversy, and have remained as such until today.

Bringing with them the exotic traditions and dialects of a far flung cultures, they became known as skillful storytellers, musicians, and fortune tellers. They were gifted practioners of palmistry, crystallomancy, and many other forms of divination, including tarot card reading, which they claim to have indroduced in Europe in 1427.

In the Victorian era, they began to travel in glorious ornate horse drawn wagons, or caravans, known as Vardos, which captured the publics imagination and inspired countless paintings, poems, novels, and children's stories. The Romanies or Gypsies have always been very mistrusted and persecuted for their ways. Where they really healers and clarivoyants? Or where they charlatans and parasites?

The Gypsies cling to age old customs, courtship rites, and dialect. Romany communities are still to be found the length and breadth of Europe and deep inside the former Soviet Union. In Britan today, barely a dozen families are to be found wandering the country in horse drawn wagons. In a decade or so there may be none at all.

Romanies are true friends of the earth, with their Nomadic existence they have lived closer to nature for longer than anyone else, and they are among the last free spirits on the face of the globe.

To increase Health and Vitality...

A quartz crystal emits a frequency of energy, a vibration. Romanies are known for using crystal balls for clairvoyance, but they also use quartz rock crystal for healing.

If you have a quartz, first wash it in warm soapy water and rinse it with running water. Then hold the crystal in both hands. Close your eyes and imagine being bathed in white light. Visualize the area of your illness and point the crystal to that site. Imagine a stream of light flowing from the crystal and bathing the area in it's pure rays.

Place your crystal under your pillow while you sleep.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.

 

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.

 

Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.

As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.

We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.

Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.

Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"

A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?

After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...

Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
