it's not bad, how it's written is a very "Wicca" way of thinking. Gypsies had curses, they did hexes, some were even feared, and this whole, "treat others how you want to be treated" kind of irritates me. My family heritage goes back to the Gypsies coming to Romania, the things they've taught me and what my ancestors have taught them is nothing that is in here. Again it's not bad, just take it with a grain of salt, it's only a point of view.
