What does a witch mean?

Witches, also known as "sons of God". It is an auxiliary clerical position in Japanese shrines, and in some cases it will also be called a dancer or a god. Usually, witches wear white coats and red robes, which represent the traditional image of freshness, sacredness and cleanliness.

Speaking of Japanese witches, there are two characters that have to be mentioned. One is "Platycodon grandiflorum" in Inuyasha, and the other is Aoi Miyazaki in the first snow. It's just that Platycodon grandiflorum is a priest, killing demons and removing demons, and his magic is boundless, and he only lives in the second dimension; On the other hand, Aoi Miyazaki largely reflects the living conditions of witches in the third dimension.

Here is a brief introduction to the witch's costume. Generally, white kimono underwear, white kimono coat and red kimono skirt are the main products. Wear white kimono socks on your feet. If it is long hair, it must be wrapped in white sandalwood paper and tied with twine.

Witches commonly used sacrificial props:

First of all, the clock stall used when dancing with God-Kagrra clock. One side is gold, and the other side is silver, representing the gold and silver fans of the sun and the moon.

This wind instrument used in gagaku? Kagrra Flute and Taigu. Used for prayer and "cleaning" and "imperial coins".

To this day, witches in white trousers can still be seen in some large shrines and traditional celebrations in Japan.

They assist the clergy in the shrine and are responsible for paying homage and cleaning.

Witches are regarded as messengers of God's will, and witches refer to female wizards who can use magic and wands.
