Sacred
Term derived from the Latin sacer, meaning "untouchable" in the dual sense of both holy and unclean. A sacer person or thing was designated for a divine purpose; it was taboo, dedicated to the other world. It was shunned by the ordinary people because of its spiritual nature. Some say the person or thing is charged with spiritual mana.
