Дēĭṡt̄'ʜ̅êṃē
A phonetically constructed word based on the Greek root διΐστημι meaning to set or stand apart, and related to the Greek root διδάσκω meaning to teach or instruct.

Дēĭṡt̄'ʜ̅êṃē Meeting
Дēĭṡt̄'ʜ̅êṃē Meetings or Meetings in Coventry are defined as a closed Council Meeting where only the Sitting Members of the Council of Elder Officiants are eligible for attendance. Any member of members of the Council of Elder Officiants of Garden of Life may call a Дēĭṡt̄'ʜ̅êṃē Meeting, in situations which they determine, that such a meeting would be of assistance to the organization, to avoid and/or correct a crisis level problem. In Temple context, no Individuals other than the Sitting Members of the Council may be present at Дēĭṡt̄'ʜ̅êṃē Meetings, unless specifically requested or allowed by two or more members of the Council of Elder Officiants or the Formalizing/Founding Documents of Garden of Life.

ДēōΣǫя̇'я̄ē (nomenclature vulgaris: Gemini)
ДēōΣǫя̇'я̄ē is the name used in Garden of Life Astrological Terminology for the Astrological Sign on the Ecliptic in the Zodiac in reference from our local star system), referred to as "Gemini" in the Western mainstream vernacular. Though this does not indicate where the Constellation from which it takes it's name is currently on the Ecliptic, since Signs in Tropical Astrology are determined in sections from where the Vernal Equinox occurs against the Ecliptic rather than by the Constellation's current position. These names may help to make the separation of the two concepts seem more intuitive. Garden of Life uses either terms from the earlier Ægean languages or words constructed from root words in those languages for all components of the Cosmos, or at least for those of the local Universe; partially due to a feeling that the earlier terms represent a more exact and purer resonance with the named object, force, and/or field, than the Latinate term commonly used (theory of deterioration of quality in a copy of a copy of a copy, etc.); and partially because, though we sometimes use, within the Temple, terms for these components derived from Ægyptian culture, and in some cases Sanatana Dharma and Sanskrit, and/or other ancient sources, those seemed a bit "over the top" for daily use (but we never can tell). Also there was a desire to rebalance the Feminine and Masculine Energies in the naming of the Planets and other components of the local star system.

Дĭm̃'m̄ĭt̄я̄ā (nomenclature vulgaris: Ceres) (Local Star System Component)
Дĭm̃'m̄ĭt̄я̄ā is the name used in Garden of Life Astrological Terminology for the component of our local star system (Planet, Dwarf Planet, and or whatnot), referred to as "Ceres" in the Western mainstream vernacular. Garden of Life uses either terms from the earlier Ægean languages or words constructed from root words in those languages for all components of the Cosmos, or at least for those of the local Universe; partially due to a feeling that the earlier terms represent a more exact and purer resonance with the named object, force, and/or field, than the Latinate term commonly used (theory of deterioration of quality in a copy of a copy of a copy, etc.); and partially because, though we sometimes use, within the Temple, terms for these components derived from Ægyptian culture, and in some cases Sanatana Dharma and Sanskrit, and/or other ancient sources, those seemed a bit "over the top" for daily use (but we never can tell). Also there was a desire to rebalance the Feminine and Masculine Energies in the naming of the Planets and other components of the local star system.

∇æv̄ēдä (nomenclature vulgaris: Davida) (Local Star System Component)
∇æv̄ēдä is the name used in Garden of Life Astrological Terminology for the component of our local star system (in this case an Asteroid), referred to as "Davida" in the Western mainstream vernacular. Garden of Life uses either terms from the earlier Ægean languages or words constructed from root words in those languages for all components of the Cosmos, or at least for those of the local Universe; partially due to a feeling that the earlier terms represent a more exact and purer resonance with the named object, force, and/or field, than the Latinate term commonly used (theory of deterioration of quality in a copy of a copy of a copy, etc.); and partially because, though we sometimes use, within the Temple, terms for these components derived from Ægyptian culture, and in some cases Sanatana Dharma and Sanskrit, and/or other ancient sources, those seemed a bit "over the top" for daily use (but we never can tell). Also there was a desire to rebalance the Feminine and Masculine Energies in the naming of the Planets and other components of the local star system.

∇êℓ'f̅ēñüs̄ (nomenclature vulgaris: Cancer)
∇êℓ'f̅ēñüs̄ is the name used in Garden of Life Astrological Terminology for the Astrological Sign on the Ecliptic in the Zodiac in reference from our local star system), referred to as "Cancer" in the Western mainstream vernacular. Though this does not indicate where the Constellation from which it takes it's name is currently on the Ecliptic, since Signs in Tropical Astrology are determined in sections from where the Vernal Equinox occurs against the Ecliptic rather than by the Constellation's current position.

∇ōя̄äñ'p̄êēθōк̄öя̄ōç
