The complex nature of magic and its manifestations

Magic elicits a wide range of strange and extraordinary phenomena, but its very definition is open to interpretation. Reports of miraculous events can be found throughout history, challenging the dismissal of magic as mere fiction. The rarity of extraordinary manifestations has led to the narrow definition of magic, but it remains uncertain what truly constitutes magic and how it is perceived. The mystery of consciousness itself further exemplifies the enigmatic nature of magic.
