Why “theogamy” is a great word
THEOGAMY — [Noun] A marriage to a god, or the marriage between gods. From the combining form theo- (from Ancient Greek θεός (theós), meaning "god") + -gamy (from Ancient Greek -γαμία (-gamía), from γάμος (gámos), meaning "marriage"). Unlike hierogamy, which denotes a sacred ritual performed for cosmic order, or theology, which is the reasoned study of the divine, theogamy is the raw, mythic fact of the bond itself. It is the mortal princess claimed by Zeus in a shower of gold, the thunderous quarrel on Olympus over a broken vow, and the silent, fertile earth receiving the seed of the sky—the ancient, unsettling logic by which the cosmos is explained as a domestic affair.
Etymology
From theo- + -gamy.
