From the nature of witchcraft, witchcraft can be divided into black witchcraft and white witchcraft. Black witchcraft refers to witchcraft used when framing others; White witchcraft is used when praying for good luck, so it is also called auspicious witchcraft.

2. Astrologers:

In ancient times, astrologers predicted all kinds of things in the world by observing the positions of celestial bodies, the sun, the moon and stars and their various changes and explaining them. Astrology believes that celestial bodies, especially planets and constellations, predict the changes of everything in the world in a causal or accidental way.

3. Fortune teller:

5, scale (scale hand):

It is a broker who serves buyers and sellers and collects small labor fees. It is the middleman between buyers and sellers, a profession that comes from fairness.

Shangjiuliu: Monks, Taoist priests, painters, practitioners, geomancers, fortune tellers, Mr. Xue, pharmacies;

Dirty people: actresses, maids, prostitutes, beggars, villains, hairdressers, pawnbrokers, kitchen chefs, bathhouses, carpenters.
