Ōṿêç (nomenclature vulgaris: Aries)
Ōṿêç 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 "" 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.

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

Officiant
Within the Temple context: One who is trained and qualified (or accepted and/or Affirmed as Qualified) to Officiate at Celebrations or Events; and/or Administer any and/or all of the Sacraments of Garden of Life. An Officiant is defined as any Individual performing a Leadership function including a specifically Spiritual Aspect, within a Tradition which holds group participation occurances, within the context of that group's forms and techniques, however formally or informally they may be set out. Such function having primary effect most often (but not limited to) at a Werking (Manifestation, Focalization, Facilitation, and others).

Oimelc
Holiday around the Peak of the Winter Cycle, set by the time of the annual freshening of milk in sheep.

Oloreal Arts
Oloreal Arts is a constructed phrase, parallel in manner of delineation to Visual (meaning capable of being input by the sight receptors, translated and transmuted by the Brain and processed by the part of the Mind and Consciousness that processes input from such receptors) Arts, except relating to the receptors and parts of the Brain, Mind and Consciousness that process input from receptors of the Olfactory frequencies.

Ontology
A Field of Study (Branch of the Science of Metaphysics) relating to the Nature of the Being, including but not limited to the component parts of Existence and the relations of such with the Cosmos.

Oort Cloud (nomenclature vulgaris: Oort Cloud)

Opposor
An Opposor when considered in an Officiant context, is an Officiant who specializes in polemicist stances, particularly in rites of passage and initiations, where the Werking is centered on an individual Celebrant.This is an office, not necessarily based upon the individual's actual ideas about any situation, but rather upon the effectuation of countering the initiate candidate for whom they are performing this office. It is similar in some ways to Disputant Officiation, but is based more on action rather than rhetoric, and does not necessarily include argumentative verbalization. This type of officiation may be used in a variety of werkings, but most often shows up in plans for Initiations, Ordinations, and some Rites of Passage, (possibly extremely problematic Joinings?).
