Rating:  Summary: This was NOT written by RAW!!! Review: You all shall burn! This text is the most blasphemous drivel I have laid eyes upon! It encites our youth to disregard the sacred teachings of Jesus, and to fall in with a group of chaos-worshipping anarchists! Please, parents, keep this dangerous article of 'literature' away from your children. Worst of all, is that this material is not copyrighted! Your children's delicate sensibilities are made even more vulnerable, since any young pagan anarchist can, without legal repercussion, zerox the damn thing and distribute the evil propaganda!

It provides everything you need to know to be a contributing member to the Erisian Movement. Don't be caught up in Aneristic Illusion, for further information consult your pineal gland.

"Discordia! Raving! her hair wrapped in bloody bands! an elm tree LOOMED there shadowy and huge, underneath whose leaves men say the false dreams cling thousands on thousands, and there are monsters in the doorway."
-from the Aeneid by Virgil
Rating:  Summary: The Principia is a wise tome disguised as a bloated pamphlet Review: The Principia Discordia is a collection of writings about the Goddess Eris, and her plan for you.
When asked by the author (who is NOT Robert Anton Wilson at all, even in an alter ego) about all the misery and strife in the world and what could done, she answers wisely and plainly:
"Oh. Well, stop then."
Also available from Steve Jackson Games, buy 'em both!

drush.
If you don't learn anything, you'll be entertained.
Rating:  Summary: Do Not Believe Review: I must have had at least five different copies of this book over the years. It keeps slipping out of my hands in search of new adventures and new minds to blow. The book works best if you don't read it. Go through it five times with your critical-observer function turned off, then wait for a while and let it digest. Then you can safely go back and find some of the tricks it plays on you. It actually seems to have founded a genre, in effect: Christopher Hyatt's _Undoing Yourself Through Energized Meditation and Other Devices_ and other various techno-shamanic books use the same kind of exposition through overload, trying to put an initiation directly onto paper. The first wave of Discordianism has pretty much played out now, and many of its themes and expressions have entered mainstream or at least "mainstream alternative" culture without any of those yucky psychedelic side effects of a real encounter with Chaos. So please be aware that a superficial encounter with this book carries with it the danger of making you Yet Another Fluffy Discordian, and either keep a decent distance or go ahead and drive your skull through it like a rooofing nail into a shingle. Do Not Believe. See For Yourself. See you around the Abyss, chaoboys and chaogirls.
