What do the US flag, the Rembrandt painting, the lightning catcher, the Shroud of Turin, and the Japanese cherry blossom have in common? These are all "mana" objects, objects to which a person ascribes power, symbolizing a certain power. "Mana" is a Polynesian word for the power supposedly contained in objects. And all these subjects are united by the fact that a person tends to approach all of them from the standpoint of faith. But faith is not limited to religion, faith is more, it controls the stock exchanges, the art market and sometimes causes wars.
