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>

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, which are theorized by [[Medusa]] to have evolved separately in competition for 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.

Beings who draw power from the Anthem Anatheme are known to use a specific phrase, "O/Oh (subject) mine," when addressing other beings. This is theorized by [[Medusa]] 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>
