• Some Guidelines

    egyptian_divinity_04* Practice "stepping in our shoes" and understand that we do not need to live up to your expectations of who we are. Keep in mind that we are "new" to the scene.
    * Understand that it is a privilege to be here. Not a right.
    * Theatrics and "issues" are kept at a bare mininum.

    egyptian_divinity_01The launch of the site on the 4th of April, 2008 went smoothly! Now we are moving to the next goal... a website where open-membership is welcomed. No longer do you need to obtain membership to enter certain parts of the site. Talking about opening our doors to the public!

  • Our Environment

    egyptian_divinity_05We focus on a strong community spirit. We take your experience here very personally (but not overbearingly so). Roma Old Ways is intended for everyone, but may very well suit the family oriented person and those who want to make a positive IMPACT!

parchment 04.04.08 Launch of Roma Old Ways Network
The Wheel turns... an age of fire, wind and water arises from the heart of humanity. Mother Earth beckons the elements burning in our souls. Times are surely changing!

The window of change is here. Even here, amongst our members standing united... old ways united... all ways united. Spirits active in the flesh, hand in hand, singing and dancing in Victory! Need a reason to celebrate? We who use the internet make up 3% of the world's population. The reality is that we are a priviledged and wealthy few.

Being so immensely blessed and priviledged, we believe it is our moral responsibility to give a little of ourselves to those who are enslaved, hungry, sick and poor. The beginning of a change is already here. Once, you saw our Romani culture dimly. Now you see us face to face. Opre Roma! Arise! Shine! Your light has come and the glory of Phoenix has dawned. And though we have been outcasts, and hated, and had no helper, Phoenix will make us a pride for ever, a joy from generation to generation. This is our promise from our Divine Father. And we want to share this blessing with all Humanity... for all precious, dearly beloved, children.

When most humans have despised us in times past, we have strived to be compassionate. You often mistook our wanderings as the travels of vagrants... maybe we just didn't want our loved ones hurt. Humanity has tortured us, so we gave you music. Humanity has burned us as evil witches, so we healed you with our natural remedies. Humanity rejected us, now we ask... care to share this Path together? Rest assured... though at times it has been hard for our Ancestors... we have always loved you, as has many Gadje loved us in return. Many of our families would not be here but for all the many Gadje who had compassion on us. It is not about Roma here. It is not about Gadje. It is about how we can give a little back to Spirit, Earth and Humanity, for our future descendents. For our children. Now.
