I mean anything like cursed or lucky objects, ghosts, etc?
Figured it's the spooky season and I don't know too many people irl to talk to about the supernatural without discovering q-level brainworms.
I'll comment in the thread with my answer.
I personally believe that magic and the supernatural are just a means of explaining something that defies explanation. Whether it's something that we just have a hard time wrapping our heads around, or a phenomenon that we don't have the tools to explain yet. Over time we gained the ability to really explain stuff, but these practices have been held onto and passed down for so long that they don't just go away.
I don't believe in magic or the supernatural on a logical level. That said, I do believe there are aspects of our experiences that just defy our understanding.
