What do Japanese witches do? Did you sweep the floor in the temple? Why are there witches?

Witches are unmarried women who serve gods and shrines.

Witches have the ability to communicate with gods, which makes them bring a layer of mystery to the crowd. Such a clerical role and their unique "psychic" ability make witches stand at the peak of power in ancient times.

Japanese folklorists pointed out in a book that all women in ancient times had potential spell powers, and all of them could be witches. This means that most of these clergy who enjoy supreme power are concentrated in women.

She told Yi Yinaqi: "(izanami) had a word, saying,' You and I have already been born, so how can we survive? I should stay in this country and not * * * go'.
