*waves* Hey, Roma here (it actually says my nationality is Roma on my birth certificate, but besides the point), I can help answer this.

In all honesty, if you use the term “witch” or “Witchcraft” in many Roma circles, you’re met with glares and disdain. If you use the word “witch” in Romani circles, many see that as a way of calling someone a cannibal who eats children. It’s considered a huge insult to a lot of Roma. 

The Roma did NOT do magic. Any kind of “fortune telling” was done (scrying, reading palms, reading tea leaves, tarot cards, etc.) SOLELY as a way to get money out of people. In many areas (EVEN TODAY), it was (or is) flat out illegal for Roma to be hired by local businesses. Because of that, they were FORCED to steal and con people out of money, just to put food on the table and feed themselves and/or their family.

On the signature of fingers

« • Forefinger (Index Finger) — Ruled by Jupiter and the Oak, this finger is held to denote the Holy Ghost or Divine Spirit and accordingly did priests once wear rings on this finger as a sign of their office, likewise is a band worn on this 'wilful' finger said to indicate boldness of spirit.

• Fool's Finger (Middle Finger) —Ruled by Saturn and the Holly, this baleful finger rarely bares a ring, although Graves says when worn on this finger it naturally expresses a hope of resurrection. It is also known as the digitus impudicus after its use as an aggressive sexual insult, its form suggestive of the upright phallus, hence its use as a gesture to avert the evil eye. Intriguingly the Hand of the Mysteries depicts this, the longest finger, with a sun above it, and likewise do images in the Richel Collection show it as variously having a sun symbol, a triangle of dots or a glowing red tip.

• Ring, Leech or Physic Finger — Ruled by Apollo (the Sun) and Hazel, this finger was used in the 15th century to stir, taste and apply medicines, whilst stroked on wounds would speed heal- ingiyo. It is known as 'the ring finger' for it is upon this digit that the solar golden wedding band is popularly worn, sometimes by religious persons to denote 'marriage' to their patron god(s).

• Auricular Finger (Little Finger) — Ruled by the psychopomp Mercury and Apple, this finger is said by Graves to be divinatory and almost necromantic in nature, for when it is used to stopper the ear as an aid to inspiration it gives rise to mysterious whispers within which secrets might be discerned. A ring worn on this finger is said to denote a masterful spirit.

• Thumb — Ruled by Venus and Hawthorn, the Romans and Greeks wore their iron seal-rings upon this finger as a charm to preserve virility; the thumb evoking the phallus and the iron ring denoting the smith-god Vulcan, husband of Venus. In images of the Hand of the Mysteries the thumb is depicted as being crowned, denoting the dominance of the will over the four elements, that is to say the one thumb over the four fingers, as expressed in the saying 'under the thumb'. »

One of my favorite details in The Prince of Egypt

So I noticed this on one of my last viewings of The Prince of Egypt and I absolutely love it.  I wanted to take some screenshots to show you, because this is really cool.

During the “When You Believe” sequence, you see these two Egyptian guards throw down their spears and walk off, seemingly nowhere.

But if you watch the background during the following Red Sea scenes, you see this:

Those two guards actually went with the Hebrews.

You even see them helping out as they try to cross the ocean floor.

And here they are on the other side.

I seriously never noticed them until recently, and I’ve seen this movie countless times.

Not only did these background characters get shown abandoning their role as soldiers, the very ones who probably directly oppressed these people, but the animators continued to place them in the shots during the Red Sea sequence.  Meaning they were meant to be there.  I just think that’s really really freaking cool.

Oh yeah I remember seeing those guys :D

They’re a nod to the Erev Rav, non-Jews who joined in with the Jewish people during the Exodus according to the Torah (Exodus 12:38).  According to Jewish tradition, they converted and assimilated in as an integral part of the Jewish people.
