Gypsy Pantheon - Priests - Gods
General Description - The Gypsy pantheon is a small one of three female Goddesses. The three cousins are Yeniche the Goddess of Divination, Bosha the Goddess of Healing and Dom the Goddess of Charm. In the Western World there are no temples or churches to any of the Goddesses although in the Central Area there are a small number of churches. In the Oriental Lands the Gypsies are known as Gaijin just as the rest of the people from outside of the area are but are acknowledged as traders worth doing business with.
Marriage and Divorce - Marriage between gypsy families is always complicated in keeping ties close but not too close. Marriage to a Gadje, or someone outside of the gypsy culture, is not totally unheard of but brings a great stigma to the gypsy involved.
Death of a Character - There is not a tradition of the priestesses of the Gypsies bringing back someone from the other side. This stems from both a practical view of none of the three Goddesses having Major access to Necromancy and the cultural point of view that traveling to the other side is just another journey that everyone in the family will take eventually.
Ceremonies - All of the ceremonies held by the Wisewomen of the Gypsy clans are private and outsiders are very rarely permitted to participate.
Interactions with other Religions - The Priests of the Gypsies rarely interact with the Priests of other religions. They tend to the family tribes and for the most part ignore the Gadje
