The term numinosity isn’t too well-known beyond the academic study of religion and
anthropology.
In a sense numinosity is like the more familiar term luminosity.
But numinosity refers to a subtle, spiritual light instead of an outwardly
visible light such as the luminosity of the moon.
While numinosity and luminosity may coexist, they remain somehow different.
