   About the gnomes
...gnomes constantly move along veins of minerals and metals undergroud, and they "laugh us to scorn on account of our groping, struggling intellect with which we manage to grasp one thing or another, whereas they have no need at all to think things out." These "root spirits" are also connected to the waste processes of Eart, to toads and amphibians. Working beneath the surface of the planet, in the Earth's mineral layers, the gnomes take a similar role in our dream lives. We are terrestrial beings and therefore the gnomes are also at work "beneath the Earth" of our psychic life, in our subconscious depths. "Anyone who gets to the stage of experiences his dreams in full consciousess on falling asleep is well acquainted with the gnomes."...If we were able to remain conscious as we dreamed, what we would perceive would be "a kind of entombment by gnomes" in the astral world. Daniel Pinchbeck, 2012

Numinosity is the relationship between other people, places, and things and the individual. This concept seems to be the combination of the words numen and numinous. Numen* is defined as a spiritual force or influence that is often identified with a natural place, phenomenon, or object. Whereas numinous* is described as supernatural and mysterious; filled with a sense of the presence of divinity (holy); appealing to the higher emotions or the aesthetic sense (spiritual). Therefore, after an objects or things have acquired, or been given, an emotional or spiritual force they have obtained numinosity toward the individual or people.

Gnominosity is the relationship between other people, places, and things and the diminutive beings that inhabit the interior of the earth and act as guardians of its treasures. This concept seems to be the combination of the words gnome and gnominous. Gnomes* are cute little guys that are often identified with woodsy areas and sometimes bridges in woodsy areas - or is that trolls? Therefore (let's skip ahead), after objects or things have acquired, or been given, an emotional or spiritual force from listening to the gnomes fine tunes they have obtained gnominosity toward the gnomes and all peoples.
