Discordia - by Malaclypse the Younger & Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst (Paperback)

About the Book

What's the right faith for those who clamor for spirituality, but strain at the confines of organized religion? Discordia -- described as a religion disguised as a joke disguised as a religion -- may be the answer. Starting from the "firm belief that it is a mistake to hold firm beliefs," "Discordia" lays out a tongue-in-cheek plan for worshipping Eris, the Greek goddess of discord. Loads of laughter and paradox are key to keeping the faith, as well as counter-evangelism, surrealist pranking, and the presentation of absurd rewards to distinguished individuals. Packaged in a trendy new edition, "Discordia" brings an underground classic that has sowed chaos for 50 years to a new generation of neo-pagans.
