Why this word is great
HIEROMANIA — [Noun] A pathological obsession with sacred matters, manifesting as delusional piety or a frenzy of religious excitement. From the Ancient Greek ἱερός (hierós, "sacred") + μανία (manía, "frenzy, madness"). Unlike theomania, which fixates on the delusion of personal divinity, or mere enthusiasm, which implies ardent but healthy zeal, hieromania denotes a total colonization of the mundane by the sacred. It is the sleepless eye tracing apocalyptic codes in the cracks of a chapel ceiling, the compulsive washing of hands in holy water until the skin bleeds, and the frantic scouring of scripture for a single, personal cipher—a private apocalypse so total it leaves the world untouched, a fire that consumes only the vessel that carries it.
