Tatcho Drom

A Peaceful Oasis for those Seeking the True Way

The following story I wrote when I was twenty years of age. It was a bit of a breakthrough for me, since, up to that point, I did not consider myself a writer. Hardly! A little insight: I’m Autistic (Asperger’s Syndrome to be exact) and so schooling wasn’t the ideal setting for education for me. Oh, I love to be educated, but the schooling system is a mental killer for me. Still is. On top of this I’m Dyslexic. I don’t complain about these things, I hardly even share them in real life. It is not the way I was raised – to complain. Instead, I was taught to face life and deal with it. So this story is one of those “dealing with it” experiences. Dealing with writing, something I had not attempted seriously up to this point. The literary quality of the following short story, I’ll leave that for the experts to decide. But I can surely tell you that it’s a heartfelt story, an analogy of my life.

The internet is expanding at incredible rates. With the onset of globalisation we have the world uniting in ways that are both beneficial in numerous ways, but also deceitful in subtle ways. The benefits of the internet are apparent to all:

What is a prearranged marriage in my culture? It’s when family or clan leaders, parents and other authoritative authoritative individuals arrange a marriage within our own people. It is understood amongst us that it is Vujo Romaniya (Pure Roma Law) to marry within our own; and it is a matter of respect, honour and internalized duty to see that our bloodlines remain on the Tatcho Drom – True Way. Some reasons for prearranged marriages:

As in most civilised social systems, there are formalities that need to be upheld to mark various passings of age and employ a form of order in our societies. The following is a list of some of the rituals and ceremonies that mark important moments of our lives in our Clans.

These rituals naturally change and adapt over time to suit our ever changing societies, but the Romany essence remains the same. For example, a generation ago, the adult age status was changed from 13 years of age to 20 years of age. Can you imagine the difficulties of having 13 year old boys and girls marrying in this day and age? Yikes!

My brothers and I have had some grueling experiences due to our pain tolerance. We didn’t look forward getting hurt at school since we were often made to wait in the sick bay for much longer than necessary because the teachers didn’t think we were badly hurt, when in reality, we were screaming and crying out inside! lol

Pain tolerance is not something that only our brothers and I have nurtured, but I believe it extends to other members of our families. For example, when my wife gave birth to our child, she never screamed out or made a sound! Allow that to sink in and realise how different we are raised to the vast majority of people in the general public.

There’s some pretty heavy topics that are shared in my journals. Without a doubt I will have some people gnashing their teeth at me, it happens more often than you might think! I have added the following disclaimers to give you a little insight on where I’m coming from and how I feel.

This is one of those posts that reflects where I have been, not where I am. It is important for me to see and remember where I have been so that I may learn from it, so as to move ever forward towards the Light.

The following are some artworks I made when I was off the path, trying to find my way back home. I will share the artworks and write a little message in hindsight of the artworks.

Skip this post if you are a sensitive person. Your sensibilities will most likely be offended! You have been forewarned!

The following story is about my best friend and closest brother, “P”. This story involves the deliverance of “P”, once a traditional Satanist, into the kingdom of God. Ministering to Satanists is not for the fainthearted, and neither is reading about it!

Please pray so that the point of this story may come across, and that is to testify and glorify in the immense love of God for His children.

The story was originally written by Steve Koncz. It is best you hear this story from someone else outside of the family. The original transcript that Steve Koncz wrote consists of two parts, 1. the Biblical foundation on Deliverance Ministries, and, 2. the testimony of the deliverance of “P” from Demonisation.

I will skip the first part concerning the Biblical foundation on Deliverance Ministries because I want to write my own journal post about it in the near future. It will also make this post very long! I thank Steve for being there when the church closed every door on “P” and myself when my friend came to Australia to be delivered. Red-tape, church policy and pastors who do not believe in Demonisation deterred us in every step. I did my best to do things according to the book, but God had other plans. God inspired me to reach out to Steve, and that was when Steve and I first (and not the last) came together to set people free from Demonisation. Praise God for people like Steve and for his effort and time to write down the following story.

Any writing inside [ ] are my additions, I have also edited out some proper names for some people’s privacy:

I was raised believing that the best substitutes for lost vitamins, minerals and nutrients are not pills, but actual foods. For example, do you lack Vitamin A? Eat a carrot. Lack Vitamin C? Eat oranges. But of course, this can’t be applied across the board. Especially if you’re a lazy ass and can’t be bothered eating healthy foods.

Superfoods are certain natural foods that are highly saturated with vitamins, nutrients and minerals. They also have strong healing attributes. The following list of Super Foods are the ones that I take and provide me with quality and therapeutic nutrition. They are easy to consume and don’t taste like crap. Except for Brewer’s Yeast, which takes a little getting used to – but I was raised with that stuff, and have grown to love it, so… yeah. I’ve been corrupted.
