Divinity or the divine are things that are either related to, devoted to, or proceeding from a deity.^[1][2] What is or is not divine may be loosely defined, as it is used by different belief systems. Under monotheism and polytheism this is clearly delineated. However, in pantheism and animism this becomes synonymous with concepts of sacredness and transcendence.^[3][4]
