Random quote of the day:

 

“[Rudolf] Otto referred to ghosts and miracles as aspects of the numinous, though as degenerate forms of it.  Both are now embarrassments in academe; they seem superstitious.  Nevertheless, ghosts and miracles continue to be reported…. Rationalization did not really entail the elimination of magic from the world, but rather the elimination of the conscious awareness of it among cultural elites.”

—George P. Hansen, The Trickster and the Paranormal
