I'm now starting on The Cornelius Chronicles, a collection of all 4 of Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius books.


I collected as many of the Eternal Champion books as I could find but the only JC stuff in that series was a collection of short stories so the main books passed me by. I'd love to hear a review once your done  :) Moorcock at his best is amazing- Dancers at the End of Time & Elric in particular.

He WAS Dracula. Although 'The Devil Rides Out' is my favourite- direct references to the Golden Dawn, Aliester Crowley, and some beautifully low-budget 60s special effects & costumes>

Hey new guy!

If you're looking for new reading materials, the Or Kill Me section is chock full of good stuff. There's a definitions thread here: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=28577.0 that I only recently learned about and is very useful for deciphering some of the other posts.

There are also a bunch of slander threads about all the other users which will help you form irrational fears of the lot of us.

Hey, thanks for the tip! Although by 'finding the others' i particularly mean finding YOU (and everyone else here) - living breathing Discordians  :)

Hey new guy!

Don't believe the rumors about the pool on the roof... We actually hid it in the bottom of Lake Eerie. If you tie these bricks around your neck and jump in, you should make it down to the pool.


Personally, the pool is overrated, just step up to the bar and grab a drink. First round is in me.

But won't the pool get wet down there? Yeah sounds like a plan. SlĂ inte!

New guy here.

I discovered Discordianism a year and a half ago. I'd been interested in Zen, Daoism, Jung, the counter-culture and related stuff since my late teens, and for years I had a hard time trying to reconcile my day to day atheism with an obsession with myth, ritual, the stranger elements of the mind and a niggling feeling that maybe both the gnostic-atheists and religious were equally full of hubristic shit. Whilst reading Bill Drummond's book 'The 17' I found out about RAW, and only a few days after he came up in my recommended listening list on last.fm. Not the most dramatic synchronicity, but it was enough to catch my attention. & It was a real revelation, I instantly felt like someone was finally speaking my language.

The initial ecstasy has finally worn off. Now I feel like it's time to stop just reading old books and go out and 'find the others'. So here I am  :) (oh, and someone already pointed me towards the pool, I thought I might pick up a long stand while i'm there if anyone wants one?)

I have a music project under the name Zarathud, a disordered jumble of folk, psych rock, prog, ambient, improvisation and experiments. Here's the bandcamp https://zarathud.bandcamp.com/

We're organising a Zaraday celebration in Glasgow, Scotland. still looking for some non-musical acts (spoken word, performance etc) if anyone is in the area & interested in getting involved!
