If I say "magic is real" I get a million people in my inbox telling me that god and Harry Potter are fake and that I shouldn't lie to people about sky fairies and casting fireball in real life.

If I say "magic isnt real" in get a million people in my inbox saying like "well what about this specific poetic interpretation of 'real' that could, in some cases be interpreted as yadda yadda yadda"

If I try to acknowledge the delineation between ritual praxis and a material belief in the supernatural, people go back to sleep because nobody on this website wants to read anything longer than a tweet. Or worse; they attribute any inarticulation on my part as evidence of some fundamental deceit. As if I'm a grifter hiding behind academic language and not just someone with a deep and abiding interest in something. God forbid someone just find the occult interesting.
