The gypsy curses can affect victims psychologically and even physically. It is not clear if it is due to suggestion, although many people, both of this ethnic group and others, believe in its effectiveness.
The Roma people or gypsies as they are mostly known, is a people that came to Europe through the Balkans in the 14th century from Northwest India. Despite being a nomadic people, their culture and language have remained intact, as well as their traditions and beliefs.
Since the time of the Byzantine Empire, Gypsies have been linked to the art of divination, herbal healing and entertainment. Gypsies have always believed that the power of the word has the power to shape destinies, so the gypsies have used the power of the word to threaten and take advantage of superstition.
Many believe that Gypsies have spiritual powers and psycho-kinetic powers such as precognition, empathy, telekinesis, retrocongnition, and astral projection. Gypsy magic can be incredibly beneficial as well as harmful and it is through evil spells or powerful cosmic decrees that it is used as revenge for an iniquity causing harmful changes.
Gypsy curses are said to be effective, happen quickly, are done in a concrete way, and are very difficult to reverse, although there are also ways to get rid of a gypsy curse.
Gypsies believe that their spells, curses and rituals lose power if they are revealed so it is difficult to access gypsy curses but there are examples of gypsy curses from day to day of which we have some examples:

95- “If I am cursed, Saint Vitus, make me blessed. Against Herod's curses. Protect my child Santa Gertrudis. My blessed house, may Santa Margarita never be cursed. I promise never to curse or cast curses and I do that, by the rod of San Blas ”.
