æonial

[T]he mind must travel back to the remote Primordial Ages of the Earth’s Æonial history, “before the foundation of the World,” anterior to the “genesis” of life and organic creation which has existed on this planet as the result of the Fall of Man, and the earth’s descent into the material state of corruption, disease, decay, and death.
