unhallowed
Lacking sacred blessing
Unhallowed means not consecrated or sacred—the opposite of hallowed.
An unhallowed grave lacks religious blessing.
By extension, unhallowed describes anything profane, wicked, or morally tainted: unhallowed ground, unhallowed desires.
The word is literary and somewhat archaic, appearing most often in gothic or religious contexts.
