Google Mail tells me that the word of the day is “thaumaturgy”: “The performance of miracles or magic… Thaumaturgy comes from the Greek words for ‘wonder’ (thauma) and ‘work’ (ergon). A practitioner of thaumaturgy is a thaumaturgist or thaumaturge.”
And a blog that chronicles such works would be “a thaumaturgical compendium.”
The links to thaumaturgical on the first page of Google lead mainly to definitions, though digging a little deeper uncovers a thaumaturgical engineer, the pagan practice of thaumaturgical design, and a page on the “thaumaturgical erection of Solomon’s temple” which was, “in some marvelous and wonderful manner self-builded.”

What’s this? Nothing about the kings of medieval France who were said to be able to cure thaumaturgically, with what one French historian famously called “the royal touch?” Those Googilians clearly need a historian on board.
When are we going to hear your “Thauma Thauma Thauma” theme song Alex?
