The Goddess of Chaos Wants YOU! [Discordia Literature Study + Coffee]

OFFICIAL INVITATION FROM THE P.O.E.E DISCORDIAN SOCIETY

TO: Chosen One of Eris

FROM: Rev. Princess Abbott,
Keeper of the Sacred Star Apple

Did you know God’s a woman and her name is Eris? Well, you do now!

Don’t be afraid. You’ve been chosen by fate to join in a once and a lifetime club of counterculture literature fanatics and historians. Discordianism in the 60s, 70s and even all the way up till 2025 has been a longstanding tradition of mischief and confusion. Called a “parody” religion, “absurdist joke”, and gorilla mind theater, It spread all across the globe in the 1970s, gathering millions of dedicated Erisans. In recent times, Discordianism has been lost to the public eye and knowledge. I have taken an oath, from the latest official base of the POEE in Sweden, Pope Peter Strange, to spend the rest of my days dedicated to the movement’s conservation and message as a Discordian Priest.

You are invited to my local cabal; “Temple of The Star Apple”. Its first meeting will take place 4PM 10/26/2025 @ Sweet Donkey Coffee House. I shall be sitting by the front door in my easily identifiable priestly vestiges. There we will read together and examine the “Principia Discordia” and other famous classical Discordian books, reflecting on their holy nonsense bi-weekly. Those inspired by the goddess Eris and her doings are free to join as Legionnaires of my cabal, sharing in my mission to bring Discordianism to Roanoke, Salem and beyond.

HAIL ERIS!
ALL HAIL DISCORDIA!

WELCOME TO THE ROANOKE, VA POEE DISCORDIAN SOCIETY SECT

Did you know that God is a crazy woman?
The Greeks called her Eris, and the Romans
called her Discordia, but you can call her whatever
you want.

She has come to tell you that you are free.

She is chaos. She is the substance from which artists and scientists build rhythms. She is the spirit that with which children and clown laugh in happy anarchy. She is chaos. She is alive and she has come to tell you that you are free. There is no tyranny in the state of confusion. There are no laws in the Discordian Society.

What is The Discordian Society?
The Discordian Society has no definition. It has been called a disorganization of Eris freaks. It has been called a guerilla mind theatre. A tribe of philosophers, theologians, magicians, scientists, artists, clowns, and similar maniacs who are intrigued by Eris goddess of confusion and her doings. Episkopos Randomfactor prefers, “The World’s Greatest Association of Whatever it is we are.” But all of us agree that we don’t know what we are.

Something that THEY won’t tell you is that every man, woman and otherwise on Earth is a genuine and authorized Pope. Take advantage of your position. Declare something already.

TEMPLE OF THE STAR APPLE CABAL
Welcome to the Roanoke VA POEE Discordian Society Sect, also known as the Temple of the Star Apple Cabal. We’re a small but lively group of Eris devotees, pranksters, philosophers, artists, and curious minds keeping the Discordian spirit alive in our own playful way. We practice what we call “Confusionism,” which means spreading joy and nonsense through satirical protests, passing out “Cthulhu for President” pamphlets, crashing local conventions with absurdity, and even volunteering for good causes when the chaos calls for it. Our purpose isn’t destruction and strife, but delight. We’re here to break up the seriousness of everyday life in Roanoke with play, laughter, and a touch of holy confusion. All are Popes, and all are welcome.

Hail Eris!
All Hail Discordia!

Legionnaire: Member of Discordian Cabal

>Traditions
We are practitioners of "Confusionism" in the Roanoke Valley. Our sacred mission is to unleash divine nonsense upon an unsuspecting world. Through coordinated acts of nonsense —such as protesting “The Big Cheese” (an allegedly corrupt sewer rat), distributing campaign pamphlets for “Cthulhu for President,” joyfully infiltrating local conventions and concerts, and even volunteering for public service to help those in need.

Our purpose isn’t destruction or strife; but delight. We want to break through the heaviness and seriousness of the city, loosen up the rigidity of everyday order, and remind people that play and joy matter. By bringing a little chaos and confusion into Roanoke, we aim to balance out the excess order: one prank, one laugh, and one unexpected moment at a time.
