Sorcery has its etymology derive from the Proto-Indo-European root for to line up, which enters Latin with the meaning of to join, link or bind together. With this activity the word came to mean 'fate or fortune', as this was the result from such enterprises.
A sorcerer sees a sequence within nature and takes advantage of it and creates a conjunction of events to produce something desirous. All successful people do this. All the magic in the world operates within such structures. Magic is the word you give something when you do not know the manner of the mechanics that are behind the creation or manifestation of the thing that is being acquired. God is a magic word too. Everything works in some way, and as soon as a story is able to describe how something happens, all the magic disappears and so does any religion too.
If we are turning to magic, it is because we have not found peace and satisfaction in our lives and are trying to make it all turn out right. If we find ourselves chasing our tails and going round in circles, then we need to make those circles have some meaning and line up our fortune by joining them together into a pattern that can help us. And so a sorcerer is born, and so Megâk materialises.
It is effectively strategy, which comes from the Greek word for a military general. You don't know exactly what will happen, you just marshal your forces together in the best way possible and hope it all comes out alright (I simplify!). To line up is to align, and it is in the alignment of the Asters which can join together to produce your fortune.
The Asters of Sorcery are all downward pointing, pointing to the ground and the ground-based realm of society. But paradoxically, the lowest Aster of all—the Sacral Aster, which is the root of physical stability—is also the sacred Aster and this divine alignment frees us from being too tied to the games of ego that travelling the world can ensnare us in.
The Cervical Aster is centred at the Adams apple. Vindication, and the authority of societal power lends itself to this Aster. To speak strongly is the literal meaning of vindication, and holding your head high is the natural result from the good posture of being true to yourself, which is broadcast to the world with that stance of confidence. The influencing of others is where all power is manifested, and all people with power have their power ultimately only over other people. The only power you can ever have is having other people believe in you, and this power is achieved through speaking and in the convincing of others.
The visualizing of this Aster within the throat has a strong effect on lengthening and straightening the neck to produce good head posture with the knock-on effect of good overall posture (only one complete circuit is necessary). It makes you stand tall and hold your head high with the attendant appearance and feeling of authority.
The Solar Plexus Aster is the middle Aster of Sorcery and is connected with connecting and the integration of faith. The divine acceptance that comes from the fact that you know you are a child of nature, trusting the way, confident and self-assured; a part of it all and meant to be this way. Justified. Everything coming together in its right time and sequence, and forming into a coordinated whole. To be one with nature.
This Aster can call upon the Sacral Aster below it to summon power up from it, and the Cervical Aster above it to draw down authority from it, and so create the confidence that results from this merger. Using this composure, we can take our power with the justification and authority that summons true confidence. This Aster is the key to the integration of the self, creating self-assuredness and confidence.
The Sacral Aster sits within the pelvis. The performing of this Aster and the focusing upon this area of centre produces a strong physical grounding. This is reinforcing for the Aster of self-confidence and produces a rooted base from which to work from and is the aligning necessary for effective functioning. This is also a major support for the Aster of authority, allowing the structural foundation for good posture to support a strong voice for the vindication.
The grounding that comes from making this area strong is the rudder that will guide you as you move through the world, creating a fearlessness and invulnerability that will carry you wherever you go.

The Sacral Aster is the grounding core of the Somatic Asters. Everything aligns from the centre of gravity. Movement should initiate from here, and awareness be habitually placed here. Zanshin on the inside. The Sacral Aster is the means of holding concentration at your root. It is the first thing you need and an absolute necessity to be in the world. It is the centre of your being. This is one of the things that enlightenment can be attributed to — continual awareness. If you've got that, then it doesn't matter what you know or what you can do, you have the thing that allows everything else to be possible.
In the same way that the Encephalic Aster encircles the pineal gland, the Sacral Aster encircles the locus of pivotal consciousness — the centre of gravity.

Stirring the Sacral Aster
If the Sacral Aster is scaled up so that the Quoins are level with the trochanter of the femur — like it is in the Torsoic Astergate — we can use this as a specific ritual.
The Pelvic Aster at this size is a powerful rooting performance with concentration being focused at the hip joints and the trochanters of the femur. Stirring the Sacral Aster is a method to achieve a greater concentration and feeling of the pelvic area and is performed with your hand doing the Aster in front of you while synchronously also doing it mentally within the pelvis, stirring it like a stick. It can also be helpful to place your hands upon your hips with your middle finger guiding the way for the front and your thumb for the back.
This is a very strong grounding spell. The stance that it produces is very powerful and rooting; it is like dialling in an Earthing stabilizer. It centres and strengthens and locks you into the physical world, producing a power which is concentrated and manifested.
The Song to Summon the Kundalini Dragon would also be an accompanying performance with this, adding mantra and enchantment to the ritual, though the Aster does not need to be scaled up for this.
Stirring the Sacral Aster sucks in all the space in the triangle that forms between the legs and the ground. All the inner side of the legs and the soles of the feet become acutely sensitized as they reflect the inward drawing of the movement of the Aster, locking together within the pelvis at the apex of this triangle. This is the ultimate grounding technique.
It is best to keep the hips rigid without any movement whilst performing this technique, and not to allow any following of the path other than with internal muscle contraction, because if you don't, and start absent mindedly doing this in public, you will look a complete woofter!

All three of the Asters of Sorcery work together for a stronger integration within a societal setting. They are the downward pointing Asters for the ground based egoic world. They are the Asters that will help align you as you navigate through the world.

Triple Aster Qi Gung
The Aster is a perpetual closed helix which has a tightening nature which is suitable for exercising sphincters. The contraction of 3 sphincters simultaneously by using the circular clenching motion of the Aster, produces an exercise suitable for being performed during Qi Gung. The Asters are performed whilst holding the breath.
Cervical Aster for the upper oesophageal sphincter
Solar Plexus Aster for the lower oesophageal sphincter
Sacral Aster for the anal sphincter
This action has the effect of strengthening these sphincters and producing a sort of tubal pulse for the intestines.
The Asters of Sorcery are all correcting of posture
The Asters of Sorcery performed synchronously together with a suspension of breath after inhalation, pumps up the intestines and innards like a partially deflated elongated balloon being squeezed at both ends and filling and strengthening the cavity of the body. This straightens the spine in its accommodation for the new conformity of the body.
The Solar Plexus Aster mediates the posture by correcting perpendicular alignment; it brings your center of gravity forward. This will draw attention to St42 as the weight travels through the front of the ankle, with this pointing to an Aster within the ankle which powerfully strengthens the contact with the ground.
The Sacral Aster brings the body forward and tilts the pelvis upwards. The Cervical Aster brings the head back and chin down. The Solar Plexus Aster brings the body forward. The Ankle Asters push the knees outwards. The Shoulder Asters push the shoulders back and the chest up.

Footnote:
If you are seeing any satanic association with the downward pointing pentagram, then you are soiled! Unfortunately, the people who have promoted this association have defiled a sacred symbol. They have made it so that when used for bonafide reasons, the rituals are tainted by this image which can undo any good purpose which was trying to be achieved. If they were unaware of their divine trespass, it says a lot about their understanding. When you can no longer use a sacred symbol without that bullshit association happening, it is spoiled. These people did not know what the pentagram is. These people are responsible for the desecration of a sacred symbol that will last hundreds of years.
To cleanse yourself of this pollution it is necessary to always and only see the symbol as a path around an invisible sphere, and to banish any unwanted image association from entering your mind. It has almost become a banishing ritual to banish the banishing ritual!
