The Rromani (commonly known through the pejoratives tzigane and gypsy), have suffered centuries of displacement and forced wandering. This lifestyle became synonymous with the Rromani, and their culture developed around it. Roadside burials, herb repertoires that change with each new location, and the relationship with the road and the unknown destination have shaped the folklore and magic of this high romanticized but still very stigmatized people.
 
Through storytelling, and drawing upon anthropological research, familial tradition, and her own personal praxis, Sasha Ravitch will guide you through this Rroma world of the dead. We will explore the concept of Mulé- the Restless Dead- and how various folk magic remedies can be used to heal and placate them by diving in to the relationship these restless ones have with the oft-forgotten plants of the road, through the magic of the Florari Rrom.
