The vertical orientation of the Aster's Spherical Helix where the performed pentagram appears upward-pointing. The downward-pointing Aster is called a Katabasis Aster.
From the Greek word for messenger, the messages that we have received from these extraordinary sources have never really been all that important and the relaying of the experiences have not provided any significant progress for our understanding. There seems to be a breakdown in communication here.
This refers to the ways the body is positioned and moves to execute Pentegraph movements. Examples include the Condor, Dragonfly, Hawk, and Pelekan, each mimicking a natural form.
Aspects of the Aster
The distinct orientations of the Aster's 3D path where the pentagram faces different directions, due to the rotation of its defining plane. xyzx (Exwhyzedex),
yzxy (Whyzedexwhy), or
zxyz (Zedexwhyzed):
A fundamental Artefact in the Pentegraph system, formally defined as a Spherical Helix, which represents a unique three-dimensional geometric path performed by the human body.
Astergate
The simultaneous praxis of two distinct Asters, typically performed using the pentagram templates at the centers of two interlocked Penters within a Gate of the Pentegraph Orb.

Cypher
A part movement within an Aster consisting of a Stroke or 3 Arcs.
Dantien
Tien means 'field', and there are 3 of them: one below the navel, one in the chest and one in the head. The Dan means 'cinnabar', and is a mistake for San which means '3'. 'Cinnabar fields' makes no sense whatsoever and is a case of Chinese whispers persisting for thousands of years. One of the oldest sources calls it San Tien.
The divine way is the process of the universe which is too difficult to define easily. The inability to define it is due to the incomprehensible chaos from which the infinite unfolding of this material existence has manifested itself. If we were able to completely define it, we would still need to give it a name, and traditionally that word is God, but that word is also love.
Dodekakirkos Orb
The technical name for the Globe of Pentagrams. A 12-circle orb configuration used in the Pentegraph Orb.
Dragonfly
An asynchronous two-handed movement style performed within the Gate where the right hand operates approximately one full circle ahead of the left hand.
The ego is a model built by the mind, of ourselves relative to our environment from our life experience. This model could be conceived of as being that part of memory which contributes to our perception of ourselves.
This is a word that has become confused in everyday usage, with everyone having their own definition of it. A Latin and Greek word meaning the self, it is the concept of “the self” and its various definitions that have produced the confusion..
The ego is a behemoth; it is huge; the monster capable of subduing the god within us so we can fit into our societal cage.

Faith
If it is assumed that this process of existence is good, or the right way (Dao), then to abandon oneself to life and trust that whatever is happening is the right way and is good, will produce the best experience. Accepting what is, would be all that is required. Knowing this is faith.
It means "stop give". To stop giving advice or mental dialogue to the situation. To stop giving your criticism. To stop giving your picture of how you think it should be. You have done your remonstrating, you have given your complaint, it is completed and you are full and so now stop giving any more.
Sake means 'seek', 'for' means 'complete'. You complete your seek to find an answer to the situation and stop seeking a resolution to your problem. You finish with it and abandon it.

A fundamental Artefact that involves the interaction of two Penters, typically performed with both hands, most commonly the Lower Gate configuration.
Glossaster
A specialized Aster performance with closed eyes, linking the after-image of the pentagram with tongue motion for meditation and magickal practice.

Praxis
The name for the practices of Pentegraph and Megâk. The general act of performing their movements.
Relief = love again—the continuation of what is love, a return to love and the knowing that everything is wonderful and as it should be. The lightening that the etymology refers to is due to the unburdening of our suffering which returns us to the state of love. The pure preternatural understanding of the word is more important and justified than the unphilosophical usage that has preceded it.
Rhema
A specific term for the non-verbal phrases that occur with the Aster in enchantment.
Sacral Aster
A Somatic Aster located within the pelvis, serving as the locus for desires related to stability, grounding, power, and strength, its shape mirroring the downward pentagram.

Spherical Helix
The formal definition and primary term for the path of the Aster.
Stroke
A specific portion of the Aster's path where a concentrated input of effort occurs. There are five such strokes in a complete traversal of the Aster each corresponding to a bifurcated Kirkos.
The antonym of the mind is the White Room, the pure white light that is sight without sensory awareness, with a high pitched sound rising to the point of inaudibility, and a floating boundary less form due to having no tactile limiting sensation. There is no awareness of time—which is the base of the mind—and so without the necessary sensory information with which it can compare things, the mind ceases to exist.
In Pentegraph, a circle (kirkos) that is perpendicular to you, as if to your side. Taken from the coordinates of 'y' and 'z' as used on a computer screen where 'x' is across, 'y' is high, and 'z' is zoom.
