The name, Anarchoccultism, could be pronounced in two ways: Anarcho-Cultism or Anarch-Occultism. The first follows the more-or-less standard “anarch(o/a)” prefix common for describing anarchist tenancies, thus centering anarchism. The second stresses the esoteric and metaphysical and cuts the “anarchist” prefix short. There is no correct way to say this, both are wrong. This choice is a reflection of the fundamental rejection of the liberal obsession with objective reality. It is an intentional paradox embedded within the name.
The name is also a nod to the essay Occult Features of Anarchism by Erica Lagalisse. In essence, the inherently religious assertions of Statism were hidden with the evolution of Liberalism. Though anarchist and anarchistic ideas have long been intertwined with heretical Christianity (and paganism before that) in Europe, anarchism followed a similar trend. Mainstream (European inspired) anarchism tends to reject god and gods, often self-identifying as atheistic. But there is a whole world this erases.
Anarchoccultism is a project of creative remembering, of listening and giving voice to ancestors once forgotten. It is an opening to those who never stopped listening to their ancestors. It is an acknowledgement of the actual roots of anarchist thought, and an opening to imagine multiple new futures.
