The origin of witches
Witches come from ancient Greek mythology. One of the earliest records about witches is a Bible in Samuel, which is believed to have been written between 93 1 year BC and 72 1 year BC. The most famous witch in ancient Greek mythology has powerful magic power. With the help of herbs, she can recite spells and summon the gods to cast spells. People who offend her will become animals and create the illusion that they don't exist. She can hide the moon and the sun and make the earth dark.

It is more common in western fairy tales, and mostly appears as an old woman with a hooked nose. She has a pet (usually a black cat) around her, wears a black cloak, looks extremely ugly, likes to mumble, and cooks lizards, bats, spiders, poisonous snakes and other ingredients in a large pot to make thick soup. This impression is generally believed to have been stereotyped in the history of witch hunting.

In fact, in some European countries, witches are well-known myths. Although they are often fierce and ugly, people like them and even make dolls to hang at home as decorations. There is a reason for this love.
