Are all acts that are commonly labeled as "magical" (I dislike the
Crowleyism of "magickal") acts of consciousness?
I doubt that it is the case even if some may be. Some "magical" acts are
clearly fairly common examples of religious activity. How do we
differentiate the different categories of "magical" acts for study?
