Ašipu
An ašipu is a big word that means "magician" in a language called Akkadian. These were special people who lived a very long time ago, in a place called ancient Mesopotamia, which is now part of the Middle East.
Ašipus were kind of like doctors and priests rolled into one. They were very important people, and people went to them when they were sick or when they needed help or advice. Ašipus believed that everything on Earth was connected to the gods, and they used magic spells and rituals to try to make the gods happy and keep things balanced.
They would wear special clothes and carry special objects, like a wand, to help them do their magic. They also used things like herbs and oils to make their spells even stronger. Ašipus were very respected in their communities, and people trusted them to help them through difficult times.
Although we don't practice magic like ašipus did anymore, we still look to doctors and priests to help us when we are sick or need guidance, and we still value the idea of balance and harmony in our lives.
