AntiCorp Lunar Rite

There was a post on Barbelith not too long ago about anti-corporate/anti-BushCo rituals and someone mentioned how they would be doing one every full moon until the election. This struck me as a fantastic idea so I started last month. In preparation for the coming blue moon on July 31st I’ve written an AntiCorp ritual to unseat the corporate powers from world domiination. A lofty task, I know, but I believe activism should proceed from many angles.

This is only one example of such a ritual. Proceed with caution. Assaulting vast corporate egregores can be risky.


1) Light at least one candle.
2) Burn some sage, and walk the inner perimeter of your room or home if you can.
3) If so inclined, play some music. Could be light and spiritual, or hard and punk rock (this step should be informed by step 5 ahead).
4) Banish in whatever fashion is most effective for you.
5) Invoke an AntiCorp hero. Sid Viscious, Jimi Hendrix, Curt Cobain, Karl or Groucho Marx, Walt Whitman, etc…
6) Make appropriate offerings.
7) Beseech them for help in battling the corporate egregores. Vow to further the cause of independence, freedom, and rebellion. Vow to pay homage to their spirit evermore (if you make this last vow, don’t skimp. You probably wouldn’t do well to have the spirit of Sid Viscious pissed off and betrayed by you).
8) Sigilize your intent and bind it (circle, candel wax…).
9) Enter trance in your favorite manner.
10) At peak of gnosis, absorb the sigil, then project your intent as powerfully as possible towards the corporate egregores. Projection should be very confrontational, in the sense of it being deliberately aimed at the archons. It can be peaceful or fierce, as long as it’s directed at the target. [You could also use an anti-sigil - a specific corporate logo as a point of entry. Just be careful not to absorb its intent. You could end up on a Nike shopping spree.]
11) Give thanks to your invoked AntiCorp hero, then let them go. Follow with thanks to your favorite grand diety (I usually use Nuit).
12) Center and banish thoroughly.
13) Burn more sage and intone words of power & grounding. Sing or say a few lines popularized by your AntiCorp hero.
14) Drink some water and have a bite to eat. Return to the mundane world as fully as you can.


Again, use caution. Be sure to clearly mark your entry and exit points. These things have great power. Don't leave half your psyche in their world.

Sounds like a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion and the reminder. Now to find my Clash and RATM cds...

I didn't know what a blue moon literally meant, and came upon an article on the paper the other day.

First off, when I saw the full moon Friday night,
it was so huge, powerful and glowing, more than normal, MUCH more than normal, something really hit me.

"Blue moon" is, of course, a phrase people use to indicate something that doesn't happen very often, but I found out a blue moon is when two full moons happen in one month. The next blue moon won't be til spring 2007.

I say I must be ruled by the moon on some level. This week-end and especially Saturday I just let loose. Got loaded drunk with 1100 people in a small beach community of about 700 people. It was our annual Chestico Days celebrations and people migrated home from all over the world in an orgy of good tidings and a little drinking rebellion. Those full moons can be powerful with some hot weather and fireworks thrown in too.

Also I just have to say LVX23 has the best posts to read on this site. I should go finish reading that Alan Moore interview.

Heh, thanks Luke. I surely don't deserve that comment - but will gladly take it.

In thinking about AntiCorp rites I recalled the movie, The Corporation. The most inspiring bit in there was when Ray Anderson, CEO of Interface (the world's largest carpet manufacturer), talked about his enlightenment and the reorganization of his $1.4 billion company to move in line with environmental and labor concerns. He now lectures other manufacturers and distributors about not destroying the planet and exploiting human labor.

Pehaps the most effective AntiCorp rites would target specific executives and attempt to plant seeds of enlightenment in their astral bodies. This is the Tibetan angle of using compassion instead of confrontation (though the latter is effective in its own way as well).

This weekend was very tumultuous for me, emotionally - - and my [real] last name does have the word "Wolf" in it. That crazy moon up to its old tricks again...
