Did You Know…
…that God is a Crazy Woman, and
that His/Her name is Eris?
…that Chaos and Disorder are the keys
to achieving Enlightenment?
…that the Bavarian Illuminati are
actively conspiring to hide these Sacred
Truths?
It’s all true.⬠
These holy mysteries were revealed
to Malaclypse the Younger and Omar
Khayyam Ravenhurst, who recorded
them in the Principia Discordia.

This pamphlet aims to answer some
of the questions you’re sure to
have about this startling — nay,
SHOCKING — revelation, and to help
you start your personal journey
with Our Lady of Discord.
⬠ Sort of.
Q1. Who’s Eris?
Eris, or Discordia as she was known
to the Romans, is the Goddess of
Chaos, Disorder, and Confusion. Her
disciples are known as Discordians.
Ever look out at the world and think
to yourself, “Gee, there’s an awful
lot of chaos and disorder and
confusion in the world?” Surely so
much of it didn’t just get there by
itself!
Well... it didn’t!
We in the Discordian Society are
proud to assert that it was none
other than Eris Herself that put it
there! (And since there’s so much
more disorder than order, it might
be a good idea to try to get on Her
good side!)

Q2. But Isn’t
Chaos BAD?
Chaos gets a bad rap in our society.
What do you think of when you think
of chaos? War? Crime? Your last
family reunion?
But let’s not forget the evils that
Order is responsible for!
Oppression. Stagnation. The
Department of Motor Vehicles.
Discordians seek to demolish the
commonly-held prejudice against
Chaos. We proclaim the Truth(s) of
Eris:
Disorder is Sacred!
Chaos is
Enlightenment!
(And, anyway, too much Order tends
to devolve into Chaos and Confusion.
Specifically, into that particular
form of Chaos called “Bureaucracy.”)
