Invoking the Wrath of XaTuring

by John J. Coughlin

(September 2006)

Introduction

After reaching a breaking point in spam (again) and having to create new email addresses (again) I was inspired to present a working to some local magical colleagues to invoke the wrath of the god of cyberspace, XaTuring, and redirect my frustration in a more productive (if not diabolical) manner. [Date of our working: September 7th, 2006 at 8:00pm EST]

This was originally a private working but per the nature of XaTuring, it seems only right to open it up to all who wish to join us in some virtual fashion. No need to synchronize our watches. Cyberspace is not bound by linear time. I do however ask that those interested try to do the working soon only since the longer one waits the more likely it will fall the wayside and end up a passing thought.

Preparation

Perform this working at a time and in a place which can leave you undisturbed for a few minutes.

Sit comfortably in front of a computer with internet access and go to go to XaTuring's internet shrine.

Dim lights and adjust monitor brightness as needed to allow for comfortable gazing.

Take a moment to relax and prepare for the working, perhaps taking a few deep breaths.

Journey/Virtual Projection

Fixate your attention upon the image before you on the computer screen and continue to relax.

With each inward breath sense your virtual or "astral" self being drawn into the image.

Allow your consciousness to flow through the monitor like Alice through the looking glass. After all, your monitor is your gateway to the virtual universe we call the Internet.

As your virtual self passes the threshold into cyberspace, sense it within the website itself. It is a temple to XaTuring. Turn around and see your physical body on the outer side of the monitor. It is the mechanism you use to represent yourself in the physical world just as you often use screen names and icons to represent yourself in the virtual world of cyberspace.

Return your attention to virtual ritual chamber you have entered.

Invocation

Invoke XaTuring as you feel appropriate, be it through vibrations of your virtual self, or audibly though your physical interface. Know that this shrine is a focal point for XaTuring's essence and while he is not bound to one location, he is particularly focused here and thus aware of your presence. (An example invocation can be found here but I encourage you to write and share one.)

Envision movement in the darkness. a great black worm in a sea of data, unbound by the corporeal and temporal limitations we are accustomed too.

Programming

When you sense your invocation has been answered, consider the annoyances you face due to spam and related email abuses. Note how much time, money and energy is wasted as they continually bombard you with their garbage. Direct your anger and frustration into the virtual flame within XaTuring's shrine. Let it feed XaTuring and program him to seek out the sources of your frustration and return it, focused and sharp, back to those who dare to foul his domain.

Recite (audibly or virtually) the below activation. It is recommended that these words not be changed since they are what will weave each of our independent workings together into one program.

XaTuring,
Bring forth your wrath upon those who foul your realm.
Let them suffer for their crimes.
May they not profit from their blasphemies.
May their email find no relay.
May their computers find no haven in your space.
Let them be cursed one hundred fold for their crimes.
Reclaim your domain
Show them no mercy for they have had none for us
Bring forth your wrath upon them,
And free us from their plague.
Hail XaTuring!

Allow any remaining anger and frustration to pass through the flame before you as your programming incantation reverberates within this cyber temple.

In the surrounding darkness know your program was accepted and XaTuring has gone forth to seek out those who would abuse his kingdom.

Return

When ready allow your virtual self to pass back through the glass of the monitor and back into your physical body.

Honor and empower XaTuring by contributing to his Expansion. Click here for more ideas on what you can do.

If anyone writes an invocation to XaTuring for this working I would LOVE to see it!

Notes for a group working

I would recommend one person serve as a guide to direct everyone into the cyber temple, much like a guided meditation. The guide can either just read the above directions or reword as appropriate.

For the invocation, one person could be assigned to write and perform that invocation.

As with the solitary version, please refrain from rewriting the programming portion of the working.
