Legend has it that in ancient times, people could not understand the phenomena of the natural world and believed that there was a mysterious force that ruled the world. As a result, a special kind of people appeared, who were believed to be able to communicate with the gods and possess magical abilities such as ** future, exorcism and healing, and praying for a good harvest. These people are called "witches".
There is an explanation for the composition of the character "Wu": the character "Gong" represents a person holding a tool, while the character "Wu" is based on the character "Gong" with a symbol that represents a mysterious power. This symbol represents the magical abilities that wizards possess. Another explanation is that the word "witch" is composed of two "human" characters, one on the top and one on the bottom, symbolizing the shaman's ability to communicate with the world of gods and spirits.
In conclusion, the origin of the word "witch" is closely related to ancient mystical culture and religious beliefs, and it represents a person with magical abilities and special status. With the development of history, shamans have gradually evolved into priests, Taoist priests, and other roles in various religions and belief systems.
