as i understood it, nature was mentioned to distinguish "things as they really are", which includes everything, including humans and things affected by them. the question is, if things are magical, one could be in-touch or out-of-touch with these magical aspects, in similar way that science proposes models and theories that attempt to explain observable phenomena. is magic a delusion, or is it delusional to deny what's magical? does magic merely exist in the domain of the conceptual, belief, ideation, perception, or is it an aspect of the natural mechanics that constitute everything, so to speak?

beliefs are real, but atoms are not made of belief, yet the thing named "atom" is a name with a corresponding model given to a type of thing that is more than that? meaning, a distinction between hinting at real aspects of things, vs make-belief which is a different real aspect of what people do
