Epeolatry

Epeolatry is another word for worshipping words. It means that a person puts a lot of importance on words and will often use them in religious or special ceremonies. To understand why someone would do this, think about how powerful words can be. Words can have the power to make someone feel loved, make someone feel special, or even make someone feel angry or scared. When a person puts a lot of importance on words, it's like they're worshipping them for the power they have.
