Preternatural - “Suspended between the mundane and the miraculous, it is that which appears outside or beside the natural”
- Thomas Aquinias
Thomas Aquinias argues that the supernatural exists in “God’s unmitigated actions”; that natural is “what happens always or most of the time”; and that preternatural is “what happens rarely, but nonetheless by the agency of created beings...Marvels, properly speaking, belong to the realm of the preternatural.”
