The Book of Eris
Eris? Real or unreal, whether you believe in Her or not. She doesn’t care. If She wants you, then you are Discordian toast with hodge-podge jam and a side of chaoist bacon. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll let you start your own little magical cabal, maybe, or maybe you’ll simply go insane, convinced that the Lovecraftian Elder Gods are tormenting you in your dreams (trust me, there are people who believe it), or maybe She’ll let you off the hook and back into your boring 9-5 lifestyle with career choices, car payments, mortgages, credit cards, dating services or marriage with kids, televisions, investments, prospects, weekend trips to cabins, and holiday dining with distant relatives you hate, and all the other muck of the yawning dominant govermediated society, but why?
The Book of Eris is brought to you by The Transdimentional Church of Eris which is dedicated to preserving the Erisian and Discordian way of life. After years of searching throughout the known mutiverse I, Mon. Vincent Sebastian Verthaine has discovered the long lost Book of Eris and its sequel, the book of Chaos and its Virtue, and painstakingly translated it from an ancient Atlantian dialect to English. (actually I compiled it together from different sources after many nights of drinking and carousing). If the Principia Discordia is an “introduction to the Erisian Mysterees (which is most good)”, the Book of Eris and the book of Chaos and its Virtue are the advance courses into the Erisian Mysterees (which is f*ckin’ mindblowing).
