How a flight works.

A flight with Astral Spaceways follows the same rite our clergy use to ascend the tree. Five stages. We will be with you at each gate.

1. I

   Pre-flight & boundaries.

   The Oracle establishes rules, safety, and a return-anchor. We do not depart without one.

2. II

   Lift-off (guided visualization).

   You leave the terrestrial terminal and arrive at the first cosmic level.

3. III

   The gates (ascent).

   Courage & Compassion, then Eros & Madness, then Beauty & Mystery — each gate a supervised exercise that wakes a faculty and unlocks a movement you’ll carry.

4. IV

   The final gate.

   A request is made of you. What you offer determines how far you fly.

5. V

   Re-entry & grounding.

   The cowherd walks you back. You keep the movements. You keep the souvenir memory. You do not keep everything you saw, and this is a mercy.

Most travelers report the return as the strangest part. This is normal. Earth takes some getting used to, especially now.
