The Origin of The Word Numinous

Numinous refers to something that evokes a sense of awe, mystery, or the presence of the divine. It often describes an experience that feels spiritual or otherworldly — like a powerful storm, a waterfall crashing over rocks, the ocean at night, or a breathtaking view from the mountains. It's the profound sense of being present and deeply connected to something far greater.

The word numinosum (adj. numinous) was given its present sense by the German theologian and philosopher Rudolf Otto in his book ’The Idea of Holy’ in 1917.
