Reflections on The Historical Foundations of The Images of The Witch and The Sorceress in Uzbek Folklore
Abstract
The emergence of mythological images based on the worldview of early humans and their participation in epic works represent a unique interpretation. In the earliest mythological conceptions, the distinct forces and elements of nature were personified as female figures, and corresponding spirits were named after women. This theory is associated with the matriarchal stage of early state formation in human society. In epic works—products of the people's poetic thinking—female characters initially portrayed with positive attributes gradually began to appear in negative interpretations, symbolizing evil, rivalry, and threats to societal peace and harmony. Among such figures are the yalmog‘iz (hag) and the sorceress. These characters were originally formed as mythological rivals representing evil, magic, and connections to the supernatural world. This article presents reflections on the genesis of these figures.
