Loosely, that which exists, and can interact with nature, but is not of material form.

Sounds good to me Mark Felton, "loosely speaking." What say you, hosepipe?

Um, there are lots of natural entities that are "not of material form" but interact with (and are part of) nature. Are we to say that a gravitational field, for instance, is a spirit???

No Stultus, we are not to say that. Nor any kind of field for that matter.
