ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the word Astronic denotes the Astronic tradition of religion and belief, especially to distinguish this from the narrower group of beliefs under the heading Astronist; of course, the inclusion of the word eschatology here denotes the tradition of beliefs about death, the afterlife and the destiny of humankind within the Astronic tradition.
