A ROMAN gypsy has revealed the particular beliefs and superstitions her family have always followed. <\/p>\n

Anna-Marie explained how she's not trying to share what every gypsy and traveller believes in – adding that in her culture, each family will have their own beliefs. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

In a clip shared to TikTok (@annamariesmithclark<\/strong>), she dispels the myth that travellers are brought up not to use certain animal words – including "rats, monkeys and snakes."<\/p>\n

However, Anna-Marie says: "I was never brought up to not say them words, but naturally we do just call rats 'long tails.'<\/p>\n

"I've never known why….I was never ever not allowed to say them, we just didn't.<\/p>\n

"But that being said, my Uncle Ernie didn't like those words, so I wasn't allowed to say them around him out of respect."<\/p>\n

Anna-Marie goes on to say that another belief she's seen other travellers share on social media is not being able to put wreaths on the door.<\/p>\n

"I've never heard of not being able to put wreaths on the door," she says.<\/p>\n

"I only got that because it looks nicer – it looks like a nice little present wrapped up. <\/p>\n

"But I've never heard that you weren't allowed to, or it was not something we didn't do, so I did, so that's not something that we believe in.<\/p>\n

"But on here, obviously, I've heard other travellers don't do it because it's bad luck or it represents death or someone dying, but I've never believed in that."<\/p>\n

Anna-Marie says that one she does agree with and was brought up to do was when a close family member passes away, she would always wear black for a year.<\/p>\n

"So when I lost my mum when I was 15, I wore black for her for a year," she explains.<\/p>\n

"Five and a half years ago when we lost my dad, I wore black for a year.<\/p>\n

"That's very traditional and that is one, actually, that most Gypsies and travellers do.<\/p>\n

"I'm not going to say all, because there might be people out there that don't do it, but every other Gypsy and traveller that I know will do that tradition.<\/p>\n

"They'll wear black for a close family member for a year –
and it's out of respect, it's in mourning."<\/p>\n

She goes on to say that another tradition is that when she lost her mum, they had her back for two nights in their trailer.<\/p>\n

"Then, after the funeral, we come back and we left anything in there that we didn't want anymore, so we always had pieces of clothing of hers," she continues. <\/p>\n

"And everyone took a little bit of something, but everything else that belonged with her, we left it in there and we set it like.<\/p>\n

"So we burnt the trailer with the rest of her belongings in it – and so we're releasing her spirit."<\/p>\n

While not superstitions, Anne-Marie then addresses common habits associated with cleaning.<\/p>\n

"We won't wash our tea towels in the washing machine – they get soaked in a bucket or bowl with bleach and washing powders," she says.<\/p>\n

"You wash them by hand because we find that's dirty, we just wouldn't do that.<\/p>\n

"So we have lots of cleaning rules, so different bowls for different things, different cloths for different things."<\/p>\n

Anne-Marie concludes by noting that when men are making a deal, so if they're dealings cars, they'd give "luck money" back.<\/p>\n

"So if it's a \u00a310, \u00a320 or \u00a350, we'll always give someone luck money back, so it's a nice thing to do," she says.<\/p>\n

"It's telling them, 'here, have some luck with that motor that I've just sold you."<\/p>\n

The post has since gone viral, racking up over 70k views and several comments from social media users up and down the country.<\/p>\n

"My nan would boil her towels in a big cooking pot and the pot was only for her towels lol," wrote one.<\/p>\n

A second commented: "When my dad passed my mum wore black for a year & we kept all the curtains closed from the day he passed till the day after his funeral."<\/p>\n

A third penned: "That\u2019s really interesting and I love the idea of luck money. I am going to try and adopt that now. It\u2019s a kind supportive thing to do."<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a fourth noted: "My mum would never have a wreath on her door because she thought they meant death, Is it just a generation thing?"<\/p>\n

A further added: "My mum would always separate the men\u2019s washing to ours, and never underwear in with it, she done that all by hand."<\/p>\n
