The '''Anthem Anatheme''' is a metaphysical principle described in several pieces of lore within the [[Destiny]] universe. It is defined as the desire to change one's reality to suit one's purposes, or "to dominate the objective universe with the subjective will".<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/whisper-of-the-worm</ref> It is invoked under a shared syntax of "O/Oh (subject) mine" when addressing other beings, theorized to be a shibboleth used to invoke an ontomorphic effect, placing the target in a cage of "o" (activational, specific, appealing, and naming) and "mine" (defining ownership and subordination). <ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/asudem</ref> Likewise, any paracausal being may even transcend physical death utilizing this metaphysical framework | The '''Anthem Anatheme''' is a metaphysical principle described in several pieces of lore within the [[Destiny]] universe.

Several paracausal beings utilize, invoke or draw power from the Anthem Anatheme in some way; the most notable examples are the [[Ahamkara]] and the [[Worm God]]s, despite having evolved separately in competition of the same ecological niche. Ahamkara feed off of the wishes (which are manifestations of the Anthem Anatheme) of other beings, whereas the Worm God [[Xol]] transformed himself into a [[Whisper of the Worm|weapon]] after his physical death in order to fulfill the Anthem Anatheme for the wielder. | Several paracausal beings utilize, invoke or draw power from the Anthem Anatheme in some way; the most notable examples are the [[Ahamkara]] and the [[Worm God]]s, despite having evolved separately in competition of the same ecological niche.
