While they don't seem to have been posted online yet, they are on the map in the printed survival guide:

Awe
Breath
Ceremony
Dance
Eulogy
Fire
Genuflect
Hallowed
Inspirit
Julu
Kundalini
Lustrate

As usual, they've included one that stumped me - I've yet to work out what "Julu" is.

It means they couldn't think of something common that fit the theme for "J". There's a reason they're all still commonly called just "A" through "K"...

Well, "A" through "L" now, actually.

While you're probably right, I'm going to stick with my mental image of whoever comes up with these sitting down and thinking "OK, I need to come up with a couple of really obscure ones, so that the people who care about this actually have to search and learn something".

When you google julu and keep getting hulu, just click on the tiny 'julu' link. Take your choice of which meaning they had in mind.

That list is okay, but I've come up with this list which I feel more accurately reflects the oom shakalaka, look-at-my-ass-and-spirituality on Facebook, fake yoga prayer hands appearance-of-gratitude-and-centeredness, Ibiza Spirituality of this horrible theme.

Aura
Bullshit
Churchy
Deja Vu
Ecstacy
Faux Orientalism
Guru
Hippie-Dippy
Instagram
Jump the shark
Kabala
Laughable

What, J is not Jim Jones? And how can we not have Kool-Aid?

Yeah, I'd already done that, just didn't seem I was getting anything that had any conceivable relation to "Radical Ritual". I've since had someone (on Reddit) point out a possible correlation to Daoism in northern China, which leads to some other interesting (and from my perspective, obscure) possibilities.

I don't really care about the theme and have always considered them superfluous, but I do enjoy the puzzle aspect of hunting down the street name meanings each year.

I followed the juluisms to Wikipedia and got lost forever. I take it to mean the battle of Julu begot sayings that will be used forever. This, without most persons knowing where they originated. Plus the meanings have changed. A conundrum inside an enigma lost in a maze. Good luck.

Julu is simply spanglish for "are you Lou?"

My Radical Ritual is ignoring the street names in favor of the ones I have made up in my head.

Julu was a typo. The true name is Juju.

Julu was bad Juju.

Thanks clarifying, Retro.
