Is magic anecdotal?
In my previous post about scientizing magic, one of the commentators inferred that evidence regarding magic and specifically spiritual entities was anecdotal and as such is not verifiable data.

The body is the gateway to experiencing meditation, which makes sense as a meditation is really an [...]
