Not to mention the problem with mass-marketing segulos. Often, a Rebbe or Rav gave someone a segula to do, not because the action had some “magical” power, but as a physical vehicle to transmit the Rebbe’s brocha, or an act of hishtadlus that would merit the brocha. But there would be no inherent value in the action itself without the accompanying brocha given, and no point for masses to go out and do that specific segula.
