Magick is demonstrably not bullshit. It works, just like prayer works, just like meditation works. Partly because you believe in it, partly because rituals have inherent effects on human minds and emotions.
Spirituality serves the purpose of using those parts of your brain and mind that are not strictly rational, and/or inaccessible through rational thought alone.
Just thinking real hard about it can’t help you get over a breakup, for example. Or get closure over someone’s death. Spirituality is there for those sorts of times.
