Serious question: Do you believe magic is real? Or the supernatural in general? (hexbear.net)

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.

No, but belief is a powerful thing and can transform the way one experiences the world. For better or worse. Personally, I think leftism could use a bit of spirituality to it with the understanding that each of us live in an objective world but experience it through our own mythology. Learning how ritual works within the confines of science doesn't need to inhibit belief if we'd all understand there's a story living inside of each us which we can interact with through ritual and woo.
