idol

s. m. [from gr. εἴδωλον «simulacrum» then «idol», der. of εἶδος “aspect, figure”; lat. idōlum].

Objects, or effigies of objects, simulacra adored and venerated and to which even divine and thaumaturgical powers are attributed. Journeys of the mind in the direction of what one would like as a real, natural experience that sometimes inspires and favors real wanderings in order to get closer and touch the imagination.
