Is witchcraft true?

Classification: people's livelihood >> Other social topics

Problem description:

There is also the traditional witchcraft metaphysics in China!

Analysis:

Witchcraft can't be true or false.

This problem is far from simple.

Wizards often have no intention of deceiving people.

As far as shamans and wizards are concerned, they really believe in animism. And some people who are particularly sensitive and prone to hallucinations, their auditory hallucinations will make them really think that they are communicating with the gods. Wizards with sound mind and sound psychology often need to push themselves into a trance with some spirits and drugs. What they said at the moment seems to us to be nonsense, but the locals did believe it at that time.

Therefore, if communicating with ghosts and gods is a kind of witchcraft, it can't be simply judged by truth or falsehood.

As for what effect witchcraft can achieve, it is also very complicated. For example, in medicine, wizards are often the highest local intellectuals. They can master some secret recipes from their ancestors and really cure some diseases. However, the ritual of exorcising ghosts, although of folklore research value, is absolutely false to all of us!
