TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

update -  Bulgaria/croatia area were Greek influenced so the Eris story should work in that part of the world . Russia i don't have any idea yet, folk stories and superstitions would have the  most promise for a connection  but my source can't recall any at the moment ..

I did a quick search for baba yaga more of the witch eats children flies around lives in house in woods etc architype than the trickster creator of discord. There are a few variations on the story in some she will give  advice (she demands good manners) in most she is the bad guy against whom the hero struggles. the  fox (female ) is the trickster in Russian folktales, i haven't found any examples yet.  still no parallels for chaos/discord


the following is a Link for trickster stories folktales from around the world, may be useful
