- Romanian Witches, 2007 - Romania's witches are an ancient tradition, and although under pressure from the government, they are still a lucrative business in the modern day.

In Romania, witchcraft is a multi-million dollar business. TV used to be packed with ads for witches advertising spells. Then the government took the unusual step of banning witchcraft ads on tv.
"This advertising ban makes me feel I'm back in Communist times", complains Witch Bratara. The government is concerned the adverts make Bucharest look backward. But witches feel their ancient craft is under threat. They are campaigning for the ban to be lifted. As one woman explains: "In Romania, every little village has its own witch".

The problem with these witches is that they give the same line to everybody: "Someone put a curse on you. We need to break it." That's what they use to keep you coming back. It's unethical.
Not really for one how knows that so many woman do use the spells around the world and particularly by us in Balkan's countries that the Shamans do discover the evel crafts in most of the people searching them halp 😜 Yet for the Western mind it's not that easy to have the truth insight because the Western world is so analytical and limited making them blind to the spirituality and the ultimate existence out of the material existence, the world of the ( illusionary) apparences 🙃
Okay, I'm half Romanian and I believe in magic. I didn't a few years ago, but some major life experiences changed my skepticism. However, I am pretty disgusted that these people do this. My mother told me that a real witch won't charge (or will charge VERY little) and will simply tell you how to do the spell. This stuff about curses on families is pure crap. Usually, bad things happen because of how your past influences your present. Magic is real, but these people are frauds.
in a nutshell
"you are cursed but if you give me money i can free you from this curse"
You clearly don't understand witchcraft, voodoo, black magic or kaditcha.
@Lee Toone jesus didn't make money
@Lee Toone Witchcrafting is not what god likes, but jesus christ can forgive you.
I don't understand a person who comments about a subject without having any idea about it.
I invite you to come here in Romania for two weeks, you will totally change your way of thinking about them.
What I don't get is that the Bible doesn't permit magic of any kind but then Moses technically used magic. I guess it depends who you pray to.
Miracles are different from magic because is normally magic is from Pagan Gods
So much cruelty for animal out there , disgusting, shameless people
:))) we have latin blood, so that's why we are so emotional... and this problem with confusion between us and gypsies is really annoying for all romanians.
Very interesting... In Sweden there is an old belief that on midsummer, one should pick 7 different types of flowers and put under the pillow before you go to sleep. Then, during your sleep, you will dream about the person you're going to marry.
So witches in Romania are like televangelists in the US. The houses look similar too .
This comment made me laugh so hard
I know what you mean exactly and its so sad. They are giving Romania a bad name with all this hatred.
Yes I have seen that. But it gets complicated when one takes a close look at magic. Prayer is a spell and prayer is a form of magic. Now praying for someone's destruction would not be a part of God's magic but praying for your enemies to be better people and for more enlightenment is in the spirit of God's magic.
When you understand PSEM (Psycho-electromagnetism - yang), you do not need gypsies or any psychic, you have what makes everyone of them, PSEM. Being awake in this nature simply is all you need.
PSEM is in all beings within and outside over and about as a rhythm - it's responsible for all actions including speech, and it survives dead.
You deny PSEM, it's like denying Bibles of all sorts. PSEM is the basis to understand or explain that you are ever to remain your own person, and no effort.
Most "men" don't get a "hard on" by powerful women bcz they have to be at the top. These women do Tarot reading, cards don't lie. It's all energy work, whether positive or negative. Sure there are some not as good as the others but that goes for any business or professional. Not all doctors are competent, not all lawyers are good and not all priest are honest.
I love this lady from Romania I first saw her a few yrs ago on a Vice interview...❤
Couldnt agree with you more mate. We are citizens of the world first and of our country second.
Yeah, you can envy us! :) We are a multicultural country, we have the last remainin virgin forest in Europe (only one togehter with some parts of the Scandinavian forest), we have the beautifulDanube Delta, we have 50% bear, wolfs,lynks population and other rare wildlife, we have unique geological and speological sites, we have normal, pure food not "bio" or "organic", we have more than 100 types of national costumes, we have Brancusi,Eliade,Ionescu,Maria Tanase,and the greatest gypsy musicants!
This woman wouldn't have to worry about death if she would quit smoking.
I agree, i know people who have spent thousands on witches, and nothing happend.
Romanians have not been allied whit the nazis, they been pushed from behind. Its a big difference, Romanian troops have been pushed from the back in the front line of attack of the nazis army and russians blamed Romanians of beeing nazis ally, all was a big deceiving.
why not tell that person rather than post a late message that they probably will never see? i dont understand.
@gogoasacenusie
Of course they are.
I know where Rromani people come from, I know their past too well. They have been used and abused thru history. I volunteer for them in my country. Only one thing to say: most of them are just awesome. They never criticize you "Gajo" even though you are so unkind with them. I came to Romania twice, and the worst experiences I had was with Romanians, especially Romanian authorities (racist as hell toward this community), never with Rromani.
Honestly, I don't want to seem rude but saying a Gipsy is a Romanian, more than having a citizenship is simply stupid, they have no affiliation with us, they just occupied our land. We were judged all over Europe for their actions(mugging, killing so on and so forth), Italians are afraid of us because of them. Without getting into details, I just want to say that whoever considers gispy people as being Romanian is simply ignorant and demonstrates that he has no idea what history is.
If the so called Gypsys live in Romania and are citizens of that country, are they not Romanians?
Romanians are Wallachians, we have our forefathers from Dacians and Romans
Gypsies are the low-class people from Pakistan and Northen India, brought by Turks and Tatars into Europe in 11-12 century
"Romani" for Gypsies doesn't have anything to do with Romania, this word was invented few years ago, "Rrom" it means husband, or men, in their Gypsy language
Ignorance is bliss. The people featured here are gypsies living in Romania. Agreed, they are Romanian citizens but they do not consider themselves Romanians.Maybe we lose our temper when it comes to this subject, but honestly can you blame us?I do not discriminate, I now there are honest hard-working gypsies amongst all the thieves and witches, but I live in England at the moment, studying not pickpocketing as some may think, and everyday I fight the prejudices of the people who think I am
"Cursed is the man who puts his faith in people".Those who believe in magic,witchcraft are on a highway to hell.They use Christ's name for witchcraft,that's a huge sin.Fools get out of it.
God's love is so big,those evil people are still alive.
I hope the same shit happens to them that happens to all those chickens!
@carameloxx I must admit, I like the vampire image Romania has and frankly that did cause me to try to understand the country's culture. However, I always knew that vampires only existed in Hollywood movies. I do know that Bram Stoker (who started much of the vampire interest when he wrote his famous book) based some of his novel on the historic ruler know as Vlad Tepes. Vlad was known by his style of execution, which was called impalement.
Im willing to guess that fortune teller does not bother with the all night rituals she claims unless the camera crew is filming. Something tells me she spends it like everyone else, at home asleep.
You know, in Romania their live on Gov.'s money as well. They even asked the Gov to give them 1000 euro/months for heating a 20 rooms palace. And, if you tell them something, they will scream "discrimination".
They don't even have a birth certificate for god's sake...
are you kidding me? disappeared in thin air. no any witch can disappear.
Meanwhile in MARS ,the two MARS rovers gaze at earth in the direction of ROMANIA and laugh and laugh at their WITCHES...
if you think roma isn't a very big problem, why don't you french guys take them all for a while and see how it is to have such crapy comunities living in your country. I don't have anything against skin color...or racist stuff like that. I have something against people who just won't integrate and cause economical and image problem to a country. And roma happens to be one of those comunities
Romania doesn't look like Mexico. You saw gypsys which ARE'NT ROMANIANS. They look more like mexicans. So please, do not make the mistake of saying gypsys and romanians are the same. They are not!
Ah, the hard working Gipsyes...
Multumesc, la fel si tie. Hai noroc !! :)
No it true
dude . u are romanian ? i am a teen living in a city of romania and before this summer i was a narrow minded 2 .. shame on me . but i took my breath and got in the real world . I saw UK , France , Austria , Greece , Italy and Germany . I`ve talket 2 many ppl & i kno` what do u want 2 say . I can proudly say that i changed my mentality & habbits from eastern 2 western . Asa ca :D , d`abia astept sa intru la automatica , sa prind o bursa ( Doamne ajuta ) si sa plec din Ro .
@imGebeleizis if they have English citizenship,yes they are! this people are Romanians, whether you like it or not.
@SteauaBucuresti ALL Romanian citizens who try to live honestly, decent are good Romanians whatever blood they have.HAI STEAUA!
@gogoasacenusie For your information Gipsies from Romania are Romanian. They do hold a Romanian passport, speak Romanian, have a Romanian culture even though they are rejected by this country. For those who come abroad, they call Romania "home".
And yes a Pakistani who was born in England is English.
No need to change the title you see.
Very nice video!
Were those kids kicking a dead bird around and stomping on it's head? Poor kids growing up with a mom who believes witchcraft can be godly. It is evil no matter what.
You're stupid. Lol.
poor kids? I would say poor bird for getting stomped like that it didn't deserve it smh 😠😢
That's their trade, their livelihood. If they beg, they're hated, if they do their trades, they're hated...
NO WANDER SHE IS DRIVING A AUDI WHEN YOU DON'T PAY TAXES LIKE EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTRY,SEND THEM BACK TO INDIA
I am a Polytheistic Pagan in the United States and I pray to Catholic saints. Some people are purists and say that's not pagan but I see nothing wrong with it. It works.
BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT... JUST LIKE YORUBA LUKUMIIII
@MadelnRomania Mie mi-a placut video-ul acela. Cand m-am uitat ultima data nu avea asa multe minusuri. Pacat ca nu poti afla cine a facut ratingul ala.
you went to their homes to check if they had birth certificates?
Why are people calling gypsies Turks? In Turkey gypsy are also considered dark and they are treated poorly, though gypsy in Romania are lighter in complexion, to a foreign eye they look like dark Europeans. The Rom people are an interesting, creative and colorful people that I respect and embrace
It's a way of making money. Why doesn't this woman do her own ritual to rid herself of the curse.
What the hell did that bird do hahaha
Of course I can compare them 'cause they are all living in the same neighbourhoods and starts the same riots.
@RomaniaLove2Pac I recommended you go to the village Buzescu who are full of successful Gypsieswith good education before you judge an entire race this is where my family is from. Rodica is wealthy Gypsy. When Gypsies are poor you hate us yet when we are making good money and succeeding education to take care of our family, Europeans decide to make problems for us, yet at the same time you hate us for being poor when you prevent us from going to school and working. Shameful is what you all are

@ogiler
We can´t force someone to be called Romanian, even though they´re or aren´t...The maghiars do not want be called romanians, not even turks nor other foreigners.
I agree with you not nice comments bad impression of Romanians Big Time!
@94incurabil Yóu are right...there is a big difference. Regardless of what Dacians have accomplished, they are the 3rd world of Europe. Roma in other parts of Europe, like Sweden, are far more cultuvated than Romanian in the same country. So yes there is a difference.
You go girl. I need someone like you to be the mother of my childre.
they are marying their children at the early ages of 9 , 12 years and so on
@TheInkedArms
We don't call them gypsies, never. We call them Rroms or Rromanis and we know some of them are the way they are because of the way they are treated in their home country Romania. The worst part is that they never talk bad about you. It's sad. But I know how it's like in this country. A bit backward unfortunately.
There are Romany women who read all over the world. Not just in Romania.
Just as there are Rom all over the world and not every Romany person is into do psychic readings anymore. Most Romany people (I have met) are born again christians now.
@94incurabil Yóu are right...there is a big difference. Regardless of what Dacians have accomplished, they are the 3rd world of Europe. Roma in other parts of Europe, like Sweden, are far more cultuvated than Romanian in the same country. So yes there is a difference....you dont see Roma advertising that they are witches there, but that they are teachers, so what does this say about Rumania that commercials reach such a market?
Cel mai vechi canon formulat de un sinod impotriva vrajitoriei este canonul 24 al Sinndului din Ancira ( 314 ) : "Prezicatorii si cei ce urmeaza moravurile paganilor, ori introduc in casele lor pe oarecare spre aflarea farmecelor sau si pentru curatie, sa cada sub canonul penitentei de cinci ani, potrivit treptelor hotarate, trei ani de prosternare si doi ani de rugaciune , fara impartasanie "
You know, before you said that statement, I had a sense of respect for turkey. You are a turk, your "holy" Islamic empire captured Christian children, took them away from their families and forcibly converted them. Plus death is not a thing to be ashamed of, I would die fighting for my country as my forefathers did, and your racist accusations only strengthen my willingness to die for my nation.
"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."- Martin Luther King
She looks wealthy. Good for her.
Native Americans regarded their land as sacred. We had no business going over there as pumped up jackasses with paranoia to grab it. All this is a shame on all calling themselves Europeans. Besides, Native Americans (NA) was not a homgenic group. Ever heard about the Cherokees and the Iroquis foundation?
If Romania is an EU country, you get handouts from Norway. No kidding. And you should travel a bit to learn to respect cultures and not look down on them for not being so "advanced".
Eugh...Animal Sacrifice - A true witch would never do that!...I don't believe in Animal or human sacrifices, they are against my beliefs
Don't be cynical leave that emotion to old men! Human nature is diverse, just look at the world today we got every kind of sexual persuasion, religion, colour, it's great I love and wouldnt change it. Violence is the easy way out, communication takes mofre intelligence, don't you agree - I mean we're talking arent we?
Cel mai aspru pedepseste pe vrajitori Sf. Vasile cel Mare. Iata ce spune el in canonul 72 : "cel ce se da pe sine vrajitoarelor sau unora ca acestora, acela se va canonisi cu timpul de penitenta al ucigasilor. " Sf. Vasile considera pacatul vrajitoriei la fel de grav ca cel al ucigasilor de oameni si al celor lepadati de Dumnezeu, adica ii opreste de cele sfinte de la 10 la 20 de ani.
I got the world on my side mate you only got Romania - little country BIG WORLD!
@balkanmix I'm not saying you would. i'm sure you're well off. but you need to realize that this is what they do to survive. If any of them want to get ahead in life by becoming successful, then by all means, i'm behind them completely, help give their culture a better spotlight. you're not all the gypsies, so you have no right to speak on their behalf. Speak for yourself!
I heard they can pick your pockets with their mind!
Don't listen to what John Oates tells you.
He talks shit about witchcraft and black magic in general.
Nothing as this can be made by witchcraft
THERE IS A BIG DIFERENCE BETWEEN ROMANIANS AND GYPSY
how the fuck can you call Jesus "just another magician" ...
ive seen things you can only imagine, and the good thing for me was that i wasnt alone... call it "power of the mind" or whatever but it exists... as long as you keep science as the religious people keep the dogmas you are not advancing, you must open your mind to unknown, search for "supernatural" or unexplained and you will see that it exists... i know science is right but it isn't complete yet, it doesnt hold the whole truth, you know what i mean ? - in time it will have all the answers...
My opinion is not to judge others, only GOD can judge us and he will :)
Dude!!! .. I am romanian so it would be weird for me to go racist on romanians wouldn't it?
@jfnuyen Maybe they are Romanian only by citizenship, by a piece of insignificant paper, or an ID card, but by ethnicity, by blood, by culture they are not. All this people from this video are gypsies, and not Romanians.
@TurkishNationalism Huh? Romania it's Latin country, it has nothing to do with gypsies.Rather turkish are more related to gypsies, you have dark skin, you dress like them, behavior like them so you have a similitude with them.
Through the spiritual help of *Dr Ase coven* me and my wife who have problems for the past 1years are back together happily again. I meet him on his face book page
This is Gipsy .. not Romanian.. please modify the title..
they are speking in romanian language but they arent romanian people...to bad that they are very powerful witches!
I live in the real world as well, and I've talked with enough foreigners, more or less narrow minded. I don't call for violence, I'm only telling you that your idealism will get you nowhere.
Btw i just checked my shoulder - there is no chip there :P.
nu mai scrieti prieteni in engleza, ca majoritatea ''taganilor nu stie sa vorbeste si sa citeste romineste'',
oare nu invie ANTONESCU?
Hope everything worked out
Doamne... daca asta este imaginea tarii mele....emigrez
Nope...
It was a question for another uber nationalist...
It's the cosmopolitan in me talking now...
Tu crezi ca-i dupa noi , nu vezi ca nu putem construi o auostrada dreapta , ce sa vorbim de schimbat nume .
to don't give their children at marriage so soon
@MadelnRomania Eu am vazut vreo 2 uploade-uri recente de-ale tale, si am dat doar thumbs up.
Is this a question to me or to Laurentzius? cos my grandfather was not that kind of man thank God!
Yeah, selling drugs is also a trade and so are a lot of other things thought immoral or illegal.
did anyone else find Romania looked like Mexico? or is it only me? O.o
You ain't gonna convert me, I'm a little bit too cynical. I know how the human nature works, and it will never change. Btw sometimes violence is necessary, if not recommendable. Now don't freak out dude.
Indeed. And their not Romanians.
@ElenaEvgenjevna
So how come most of their clients are Romanian... They are orthodox like you, superstitious like you. We are talking multimillion dollars business here meaning a lot of people consult them.
Well, if talking to a creature of your own mental standards, be my guest. I have read all the posts, and the have a stench of xenophobia over them. And by inviting insults like you and yur mate do, it would be rude not to pick you up on it. Xenophobia never goes out of date or fashion it seems.
That's funny coming from a Turk. Who originated from Asia ( where the Gypsies came from) Please go and educate yourself. Romanians are not Gypsies. Oh, and do you remember Vlad Tepes, the guy who impaled the turks that attacked Romania?
@MadelnRomania They are citizens of Romania, therefore, they are ROMANIAN!
Yes and no. There have their own language, traditions, clothing and they don't really accept romanians people the same way they are not accepted by romanian people .
Is not the same way of when a argentinian person is born in America therefore will now be American....
Most definatelly.
Psychotherapy and cold showers!
