Sorcery moviesSorcery movies usually referred to those movies with supernatural or evil forces as the theme. They usually involved some magic, witchcraft, supernatural phenomena, and other elements that did not match the real world. There were many types of sorcery movies, such as horror, horror, fantasy, science fiction, and so on.
In the creation process of sorcery movies, special effects and visual effects were usually emphasized, as well as the narrative and plot development of the story. Some sorcery movies would also add some complicated elements and plots, such as dark forces controlling evil forces, heroic characters fighting against evil forces, and so on.
Although sorcery movies had unique visual effects and storylines, they also had certain risks and uncertainties. Because some witchcraft movies may involve some unscientific or supernatural elements, it may cause discomfort or fear to some viewers. At the same time, some sorcery movies might also promote some negative values and beliefs, so they also needed the audience to judge and evaluate themselves.
Unorthodox sorcerySorcery belonged to " improper magic " and " sorcery ", also known as witchcraft. In China and other parts of the world, many sorcery evolved from religious sorcery or witch doctors. Sorcery was divided into the underworld and the white path. The underworld sorcery was used to harm others for personal economic benefits, revenge, power, love, or employment. The white path sorcery was used to treat illnesses, scare, protect, defend, seek water, pray for rain, and seek personal or other benefits. However, evil techniques harmed others and themselves. Even white evil techniques could attract possession and harm themselves. However, some people in modern times believed that evil arts were feudal superstitions and did not exist.

Sorcery TypeFrom the reference materials, there were different types of witchcraft:
- In the Marvel comics, there was the superhero Wiccan, who was a child created by the illusion and the crimson witch using magic.
- On the cultural level, for example, there were witchcraft beliefs related to traditional customs in ancient China, such as setting off firecrackers to drive away the New Year and sticking door gods to drive away evil spirits. This was a cultural belief based on respect for tradition. It was related to the lack of scientific understanding of natural phenomena by the ancestors, who believed that all things had spirits and hoped to communicate with the gods to seek benefits and avoid harm. For example, Fuxi's creation of the Eight Trigrams had the early characteristics of this witchcraft belief.
- In the Miao culture, there was the art of witchcraft. There were many ways to make and use the art of witchcraft. For example, a batch of poisonous insects were placed in a closed space. After a certain period of time, they would kill each other and leave one behind to make a witchcraft. It could be used to control the behavior and thoughts of others or harm others. Different witchcraft had different effects. It could also be made into a witchcraft poison. There were special ways to use witchcraft and resolve witchcraft. The types of witchcraft included golden silkworm witchcraft and love witchcraft. However, from the perspective of modern science, Gu might be related to parasites.
It should be noted that witchcraft in modern society was more of a legacy of traditional culture, while witchcraft in Marvel comics was a fictional superhero setting.

What are the sorcery of Xiangxi?There were three main evil arts circulating in Xiangxi: Flower Falling Cave Girl, Corpse Hunting Art, and Gu Art.
Among them, voodoo was an ancient black witchcraft that had been passed down for more than 2000 years. The method was to put a variety of poisonous insects, such as centipedes, scorpions, spiders, etc., into a container. Without feeding them food, they would kill each other, and the last one would be the gu. Most of the Gu worms were highly toxic and could enter the victim's body through eating, touching, and other methods. The victim might be delirious and have physical changes. In mild cases, they might have headaches, vomiting, chest tightness, or abdominal pain. In severe cases, they might be tortured or even die. There were many records of witchcraft harming people in history, such as the "curse of witchcraft" in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was said that there were many people who knew how to use voodoo in the Miao people of Xiangxi, and there was a tradition of passing it on to women and not men.
The legend of the origin of the corpse-chasing technique was related to Chiyou. It was said that after Chiyou's defeat, he could not bear to leave the dead soldiers behind, so he asked his subordinates to formulate a law. One person would lead the way with a talisman, and the corpses of the dead soldiers would follow. The art of corpse driving might have been developed because there was no means of transportation in the past, and people who died in a foreign land paid attention to returning to their roots.
The Luohua Cave Girl was also one of the three great evil arts in Xiangxi. Legend had it that the Luohua Cave Girl was beautiful and intelligent, but she died early. However, there was not much detailed and exact explanation for the truth.
