Definition

Sacred-as-ontological-intensity as received-ordinance — the quality of exceeding ordinary comprehension and power, distributed throughout nature at varying intensities rather than separated into a distinct sacred domain. Lakota wakȟáŋ + Sumerian me: the sacred not as moral category (holiness) or separated transcendence (the divine) but as the sheer quality of being more-than-comprehensible — present in everything, concentrated in some things, neither moral nor immoral but ontologically more-than-ordinary.
