Eristroduction

You should have put that in there...”I found out I was dying, and used my last days

to create a Discordian Manual...”

Prince MuChao ,

Private correspodance, January 2002

Of course, I was wrong, Little Deluded Dupe that I am. Seven days before I was

scheduled for Surgery, that quiet voice which I imagine also talks to Zen monks, Sufi

mullahs and other Disreputable Persons at the End, rapped sharply on my skull and

told me to get my shit in order within the week. Little did I know it was Eris using

a funny voice, the bitch. Anyhow, I hurridly wrapped up a couple of projects, and

this was one of them.

I got curious. Discarding the “non-canonical” material ( well, laying it aside ), I

started to reference my little collection to the original. I’d stumbled, by the way,

on I-Net’s 4th&5th combined edition, with the wonderful foreword by Lord Omar.

Imagine my shock when I realised that some of these fragments I had to hand were not

to be found in the Principia.

As well, we’ve the addition of a brand spanking new Back Cover to this edition. Now

the arse won’t fall out when you pick the book up. I imagine this will be particu-

larly helpful for those reading this on PDAs, who won’t have to worry about losing

the batteries anymore.

Anyway, apparently earlier editions of the Principia contained the Myth of Starbuck.

Perhaps this is the solution to the mysterious fragments I had. Perhaps they didn’t

make the edit. Who knows. I have never heard of a pre-4th&5th Edition extant. I would

of course be very interested in talking to anyone who might have information about

any of these early editions. We can only hope that one will surface, eventually.

Who was he? What was he like? How did he live? We can only hope someone will write

of his life, and maybe also rediscover the lost I Chao, also mentioned by Lord Omar.

But at some stage, at last intrigued by these “holy quotes”, I copied out by hand all

of the Discordian Scriptual References in Illuminatus, including the Hagbard Celine

tracts. Hooked, I started working through other RAW ( Robert Anton Wilson ) works,

and with the inevitability of a cream pie in flight, as I ventured into more exotic

bookstores and other Purveyors of Disrepute in search of said, the Principia arced

its way towards my face. By the time it struck, I had a small collection of fragments

assembled, together with such esoterica as I’d acquired along the way ( such as

Vonnegut’s Bokonon, and other perverts ).

There will be some form of sequel. There’s much Erisiana still out there that

deserves a permanent home, as much as there’s plenty that, while Chaotic, is also

Crap.

In the middle eighties I gained access to USENET and that was that. I started

collecting Erisiana as I stumbled upon it. Ten years later, some acquaintances

pointed out that Lord Omar was currently to be found making contributions to White

Wolf’s Vampirethingy game. More power to him, I say. He was not long to live, and it

was good to see the occasional Discordian reference, all of which were promptly

collected for the now-bulging file. It was the Internet, though, which led to the Big

Explosion in Discordianism.

The Surgery, a minor exploratory, went off without a hitch ( although the General

Anaesthesia was in the nature of a lovely rest from the ceaselessness of my

Unmanagably Overactive Brain ).

That was a shock. I wondered what it meant. As far as I knew, no announcement had

ever been made. I got to thinking. Was Gregory Hill just another pseudonym? Of Lord

Omar, Kerry Thornley, much is known, photos published, interviews, books. Hell, I

even have his autograph. Of Greg Hill, there was nothing I was ever able to discover.

Even the Erotic Etruscan Poetry thing is, in effect, unsubstanciated. You have to

wonder.

So, why a Second Edition? Primarily because Evil Copyrighted Material snuck its way

into the First Edition, Hail Eris All Hail Kallisti. This material has been re-

placed. KopyLeft is in the news again at present, with New Scientist amongst others

looking at the concept.

Talk about Cut-Up? I was furious. And Lord Omar, like Burroughs, was no more.

Also, I felt that some sort of note should be attached, to outline the general

circumstances and motivations which led to the Apocrypha Discordia’s creation. This

is a very special time for Discordianism. There are some very special, very talented

people working on Erisiana at the present. I-Net, Lord Omar’s publisher, may yet get

together with Sondra London to do something about his unpublished works. Sondra, by

the way, deserves much credit for her support of Lord Omar in the last years of his

life.

Well, She got what She wanted, anyhow. Despite Hesiod, I know that She is One and the

Same. I can’t help but think She has further plans for me, and that’s worrying. In

the last few years Her presence has been quite notable in my life. I thought I had

escaped - and I did, for a time - but Her influence, through the most traumatic and

destructive period of my life, will live with me till the End. Of course, She also

saw fit to balance it with some of the most precious, wonderful, valuable moments...

the bitch.

In a funny way, I’d been working on the Apocrypha for over twenty years. My parent,

also disreputable types who’d later converted to Wiccan, in the nineteen eighties

( about more which, elsewhere ), had carelessly left Illuminatus lying around where

impressionable ten-year-olds could get their hands on it. Like many others, I thought

the Principia an invention of the authors, but then I suspect my focus at the time was

far more on the seedy steamy sex scenes, anyway.

It was to find a home for these “apocryphal” fragments that I first had the idea for

doing this book. I had the time on my hands and I had the means ( I also had a small

collection of rubber-stamps, but given the composition medium, it wasn’t really

practical to use them ). I avoided most of the rest of Lord Omar’s extant stuff - I’m

sure Sondra London can be trusted to see to its issue eventually.

All credit should go to the Committee for Public Safety ( not to be confused with the

Committee for Public Safety ) for their support. Some content would have been nice,

but that’s probably just me.

Discordianism and the concept of KopyLeft go hand in hand. Although just a small part

of the counter-culture gestalt, I believe that the Principia Discordia was probably

one of the earliest expressions and strongest champions of this idea, which has

since seen such concepts as the “Open Source Software” initiative, with endeavours

such as the Linux Operating System. Remember: if it’s not KopyLeft, it’s not

Discordian. This concept is at Discordia’s very heart, ye and its spleen, gonads and

pineal gland. Or something. I remember stumbling across the Discordian internet site

some meatboy had constructed and copyrighted - I laughed and laughed and laughed at

the sad-arsed bastard. No doubt Eris will accordingly soften him sorely.
