Magical thinking is rampant. Religion is its favorite culture.
Have you read The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion? An incredible read! Her husband suddenly died and she noticed that for a year her mind played tricks on her. She discerned that the mind would think magically to buffer the intensity of loss and grief.

Coming out of this magical thinking is one of the most painful processes. But a necessary one.
