NFL Great Tom Brady and Witch Craft

[argentus]

Okay ... but did his talent win the superbowls, or did the witchcraft?

That's a great question FlyersFan.    I know that I have my own little rituals that some might be weirded out by, and other practices that might be misconstrued.    For example, my Bride and me frequently do a Smudge Ceremony in and around our house and my Mom's house.   As a scientist, do I have measurable data that it makes a difference?   Oh hell no!     But it's something I feel.   I grew up around people with these and other ceremonial rituals.   

I have to think that if it produces a positive feeling for the practitioner, that I believe it has merit.   I also think there are many forces at work in the universe which we cannot currently measure.   The scientist in me accepts that as a fact of nature, as an unmeasureable quantity is nearly as good in the dataset as a measureable one.   

Short answer:   I don't think it matters which factors won the games;  a person brings all her or his personal power to bear in the competition of life.   

Great thread!   Thank you
