Divine potency emanating from a deity, person, or thing and sometimes the divine part of a deified person.
Numen ("presence", plural numina) is a Latin term for the power of either a deity or a spirit that is present in places and objects, in the Roman religion. The many names for Italic gods may obscure this sense of a numinous presence in all the seemingly mundane actions of the natural world. The word was also used in the imperial cult of ancient Rome, to refer to the guardian-spirit, 'godhead' or divine power of a living emperor—in other words, a means of worshiping a living emperor without literally calling him a god. The word numen is also used by sociologists to refer to the idea of magical power residing in an object, particularly when writing about ideas in the western tradition. When used in this sense, numen is nearly synonymous with mana. However, some authors reserve use of mana for ideas about magic from Polynesia and southeast Asia. Etymologically the Latin word numen originally and literally meant "nodding". It has the sense of inherent vitality and presiding, and was also associated with the terms for "command" or "divine majesty". The importance of nodding, in relation to commands and divine majesty, stems from the belief that Jupiter, the king and ruler of the gods of Olympus in Roman mythology, when he made a final and unquestionable decision, nodded his head, thereby enacting his ruling.

Get the Numen mug.Associated with the infamous sex move, the Alabama Hot Pocket. The penis owner, or strap wearer, inserts their girthy attachment into the anus of another party, in which their anus is encrusted in what is widely known as ‘shit’. The penis owner/strap wearer proceeds to perform an act of sodomy (with consent) against the party whose anus is encrusted in shit. This sex act is known as the “Nutella Sandwich” because the walls of the anus represent two slices of bread whilst the feces represent nutella. The penis or strap represents a knife spreading the nutella.
Colton: Damn, I saw that clip of you performing the ‘Nutella Sandwich’ on your girl on your story last night! You really wanna be known for that?
Daniel: Damn straight, I graduate next year anyways. Before these bitches hop into my DMs wanting some sweets they need to know if they can handle my chocolate.

Get the Nutella Bella mug.The best fucking spread - period. Nothing can top the taste of chocolate and hazelnuts in this creamy delight. You can put it on just about anything, or eat it plain. This is quite possibly Italy's greatest contribution to the food world.
First created in the 1940's by Pietro Ferrero in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy(NOT FRANCE!!). Chocolate was rationed during the times of World War II, so Mr. Ferrero used hazelnuts in addition to the chocolate.
