Mormon mysticism
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?

Too many big words. I don't know what the hades you are talking about.

Unlike the sesquipedalian penchant for others toward vanglorious speech, the first post was anything but that.

"I see dead people." I've heard plenty of those stories.

My sister is not one to be extremely mystical, but she has never deviated from that rendition. I have never had such a mystical experience and probably never will, though early on in my membership I had hoped for one.

Many believe that garments provide physical protection from injury.

He hunted me down in the celestial room of the Provo Temple. I was relaxing on the couch and he came up to me and exclaimed: "SEE, they DO protect you!" Then twilight zone music started playing in my head. A few months later as I was serving in Russia, one of the best missionaries in our mission was stabbed and murdered.
