Many unacquainted with its real meaning will become offended by referring to anything within our culure as mystical. I don't.

For me, mysticism is anything beyond empiricism in a classical sense. Well, miracles are not reproducible in a scientific sense, so anything which fails an empirical test is in a sense mystical.

What aspects of mysticism still exist in our culture other than baby blessings and patriarchal blessings?
