…this transformation occurs if these ground fruit have been kept for more than ten days: then the gathered pumpkins stir all by themselves and make a sound like ‘brrrl, brrrl, brrrl!’ and begin to shake themselves.

Firstly, that’s hella interesting.
Secondly, I did not realize that the Roma were (are? Some are/were?) Muslim. I associated the Roma with Catholicism and Hinduism.
Thirdly, how the fuck does one use a pumpkin as a syphon?

I was interested in Romani religion too… Check it out.
Elsewhere it states this is because the Romani often chose to convert to the major religion of the area, as many other peoples did.
Went on a deep dive last night (well, as deep as one can in a night) on this. Super interesting! Found the Romani subreddit, and there’s ton of really cool information on there from actual Romani people. Mentioned to my mom what I was reading, and she informed me that her dad’s mother’s family were Romani, but she doesn’t know anything about them. Had several TIL moments last night! Lol
Edit: never did find out how you use a pumpkin as a syphon, though. That’s gonna haunt me.
