Thaumaturgy is still a lovely word, but not for hogwash after all, with all you fantasy readers out there.
I have been reading about its origin and it first came into use when talking about saints and their seemingly ability to work miracles.(From the Greek word thauma, meaning miracle or marvel.) No wonder it later came to be about magicians and magic.
I wonder if I will remember it now?
