The Goddess Eris wants YOU! [Introduction To Discordianism]

What even is Discordianism?

Is it a joke? A parody religion? Or something deeper hiding beneath the laughter?

How did Eris, the Greek goddess of chaos and discord, end up as the one true goddess of an entire movement? And how did this wild idea spread around the world?

The truth?
Kinda yes. Kinda no. Kinda both. Kinda neither.

Come to Garst Mill Park, and learn about Discordianism, it's underground literature and it's influential history that defined the 60s/70s counterculture scene.

This is a collaboration with the Temple of Sacred Knowledge.

Bring a blanket or chair! If we are unable to meet in the shelter we will be in the field next to it, under the big tree.

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 counterculture historians keeping the Discordian story alive in the modern day 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 mission is to provide an educational resource to learn about the Erisian Movement; it's history, art and literature, and maintain it's memory for another generation to enjoy. All are Popes, and all are welcome.

Hail Eris!
All Hail Discordia!
