H̅êк̣'к̄ŭt̄ā
A phonetically constructed Goddess Name based on the Ægean Goddess, normally spelled Hecate in English; one of Her primary attributes is normally considered to be Harvests and by extension all Transitions and Borderlands.

H̅ēℓ' ℓ ēōs̄ (nomenclature vulgaris: Sol, the Sun) (Local Star System Component)
H̅ēℓ' ℓ ēōs̄ is the name used in Garden of Life Astrological Terminology for the component of our local star system (pivotal member of said star system), referred to as "Sol" and/or "The Sun" 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.

H̅êя̇ä (nomenclature vulgaris: Juno) (Local Star System Component)
H̅êя̇ä 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 "Juno" 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.

H̅ēя̇'m̃ēż (nomenclature vulgaris: Mercury) (Local Star System Component)
H̅ēя̇'m̃ēż is the name used in Garden of Life Astrological Terminology for the component of our local star system, referred to as "Mercury" 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.

H̅ēя̇'m̃ēżÆθēñä (day of the Week)
In the Garden of Life Temple Calendar, the Year, being the Year of the Lady, begins, as it always has, on the Vernal Equinox. Each month is named according to the name of the Astrological Sign and begins when the Sun enters that Sign. The Seven Day Week is used though with different names for the days of the Week. H̅ēя̇'m̃ēżÆθēñä is equivalent to the day referred to as "Tuesday" in the Western mainstream vernacular. The sequence: ḠāēäH̅ēℓ' ℓ ēōs̄, Âʀ̄ṭĭṃĭṡS̅ŭℓēṇH̅êк̣'к̄ŭt̄ā, H̅ēя̇'m̃ēżÆθēñä, Я̅ℎ⃥āä, Åя̄ēżÅя̇ōs̄, Åṗ'f̅я̄ō∇īṭē, Īäк̣'к̄ōṡК̅я̄ōñōs̄, corresponds to: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

H̅ĕs̄t̄ēä (nomenclature vulgaris: Vesta) (Local Star System Component)
H̅ĕs̄t̄ēä 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 "Vesta" 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).

H̅ūēōç
The H̅īḡēä is a phonetically constructed word based on a Greek root word meaning child used within the context of the Temple to refer to Sentients between toddling and approximate school age.

H̅ūēōç Passage
Garden of Life considers Werks acknowledging and/or commemorating Passages from one stage of a lifecycle to the next as Pagan Sacraments. The timing of such Celebrations are not determined solely by physical ages but by the Individuals actual attainment of that stage. The H̅īḡēä passage and/or the ~3rd Year Perfectioning - The expansion of consciousness. The child has gained control of the senses and is exploring all realms. Great curiosity and innocence abounds! Learning is exciting and always an adventure. The child is again dedicated to their Ultimate Potential Perfection, whatever that might be. The child is invested with wings and a robe, Magickally presented in appropriate symbols and colours. The wings represent the individual's potential desire for growth, with the robe we wrap the child in the energy she/he needs to make the ascent level by level.

Ḥêв̣āōñ
Ḥêв̣āōñ is a phonetically constructed word based on a Greek root word meaning early prepubescence used within the context of the Temple to refer to Sentients in a middle period of Childhood usually commencing about the ninth year.

Ḥêв̣āōñ
Garden of Life considers Werks acknowledging and/or commemorating Passages from one stage of a lifecycle to the next as Pagan Sacraments. The timing of such Celebrations are not determined solely by physical ages but by the Individuals actual attainment of that stage. The Ḥêв̣āōñ passage and/or the ~9th Year Perfectioning - Early Pre-Puberty Initiation. Around the ninth year the child's body begins to ready itself for adulthood. She/He experiences emotional ups and downs and has no control over it. The psyche at this point is extremely sensitive and impressionable. The child is again dedicated to their Ultimate Potential Perfection, whatever that might be. The ninth year wings and robe are Magickally presented with the introduction of the mirror. Much attention should be focused on the initiate by the group as a whole. A group cleansing would be in order. A divination tool may be selected by the Priestesses and presented to the initiate with instructions for its use.

HEALING (when considered as a Sacrament)
Garden of Life considers Healing a Pagan Sacrament. In a preliminary description Healing may be an Act and/or Process performed by one or more Officiants to benefit an Individual's Physical, Mental, and/or Spiritual Well-Being or Becoming. Healing may consist of Pouring of Life Energy both from and through the Officiant(s), into the One being Healed, so that Her/His Eternal Self may use such Life Energy to rebalance the forces and correct any difficulty being experienced by the Individual being Healed, whether Physical, Mental and/or Spiritual in nature. Within Garden of Life the slightly modified English words: Healor, Sensator, and Sortor are used to designate Officiants who perform Werks utilizing Energies to ameliorate Physical, Mental, and Spiritual processes, respectively.
Below please find the wording that Garden of Life uses in it's Articles of Organization to delineate this Sacrament:
An Act, Acts, a Process, Processes and/or Series of Acts and/or Processes performed by one or more Officiants (including Healors, Sensators, and/or Sortors if possible) to benefit an Individual's Physical, Mental, and/or Spiritual Well-Being or Becoming. Such Process ordinarily consists of Pouring of Life Energy both from and through the Officiant(s), into the One being Healed, so that Her/His Eternal Self may use the Life Energy to rebalance the forces and correct any difficulty being experienced on any and all consciousness levels by the One being Healed, whether Physical, Mental and/or Spiritual.
