What is witchcraft??? Does witchcraft really exist?

Witchcraft exists, at least in China.

Strictly speaking, the original concept of witchcraft did not mean superstition, or pretending. Witchcraft has a very long history in China. According to research, the earliest form of witchcraft was witch doctors, and a large part of witchcraft at this time was medical skills.

Until the Zhou Dynasty, those who engaged in the profession of witchcraft, including military, historical, astronomical and medical skills, were the people with the highest level of cultural knowledge in that era. After the Han Dynasty, medical art was separated from witchcraft.

In fact, until now, in addition to orthopedics, ** and other subspecialties in traditional Chinese medicine, there is also a department called "surgery", which is similar to the spirit of the West**. But now it is regarded as a superstition, and there are not many people who know about it or can cure diseases by it.

In general, witchcraft is not just about dancing gods, it's just that people don't know much about witchcraft and mistakenly think it's just dancing gods.

Analysis: Witchcraft cannot be said to be true or false.

The problem is far from simple.

Wizards are often not trying to deceive people.

In the case of shamanic shamans, they themselves do believe that all things are animist. And some people who are particularly sensitive and fragile and prone to hallucinations, their auditory and visual hallucinations make them really think that they are communicating with the gods. The sorcerers who were more sane and mentally sound often needed to use some strong drugs and the like to push themselves into a trance, and what they said at this time was, in our opinion, babbling, but the local people at the time did believe it.

Therefore, if communicating with spirits is a kind of witchcraft, we cannot simply judge it by its truth or falsehood.

As for what effects can be achieved with witchcraft, it is also very complicated. For example, in medicine, shamans are often the highest local intellectuals, they can master some ancestral secret recipes, and they can indeed cure some diseases, but as for what ritual to exorcise ghosts, although it has folklore research value, but for all of us, it is outright fake!
