The '''supernatural''' ([[Latin]]: super- "above" + nature) pertains to entities, events or powers regarded by some as beyond [[nature]], in that they believe they cannot be explained from the laws of the natural world. Religious [[miracle]]s are typical of such “supernatural” manifestations, as are [[spells]] and [[curses]], [[divination]], the notion that there is an [[afterlife]] for the dead, and innumerable others. Supernatural themes are often associated with [[magic (paranormal)|magic]]al and [[occult]] ideas. Supernatural is also a classification for explanations which invoke explanative contructs that in principle are beyond human conception, understanding or verification. | The '''supernatural''' ([[Latin]]: super- "above" + nature) pertains to entities, events or powers regarded by some as beyond [[nature]], in that they believe they cannot be explained from the laws of the natural world.
