Bob,

What is "magic?" This question is key to understanding many ritual magic
concealment features in historic architecture and archaeology sites, which I
happen to be studying at this time. There are many definitions of magic,
ranging from illusion and trickery to psychospiritual transformation, or even
to Europe's "demons." If magic is in the mind of folks who practice it, what
better for scientific measurement than electromagnetic fields and
resistivity? I, for one, am not a bigot.
