Okay so I'm prolly getting ahead of myself now but, at the rate I work, if I start now, it'll probably be released sometime after issue 15-20.
Anyroad I've been idle for a while so I figured it's time to step up to the plate with "Discordia in Theory and Practice". If Mel Brookes did a movie version of Crowley's work then the book of the film would look something like this.
Practical Jakes, Dealing with cabbages and lots of bold and totally unfounded claims about riches beyond reason and magiqual hosries.
Basically the mandate is - leave no religion/cult/new age fad un-taken the piss-out of.
I'll edit and art direct and possibly provide a bit of content along the way. I need thread miners and official ssookn scribes to furnish my temple with bullshit content.
Any takers?
I can help out, here and there.
I'll submit something if I have anything.

Deadline is just a line of dead.
Has no bearing on this project
I'm working on the cover (done minus final bulletin contents)
and the intro/editorial whatever the fuck its called
Once I have stuff I'll give it a Golden Apple Dawn makeover, kinda along the lines of what I did here (http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/P3nT4gR4m/Page2.jpg) and here (http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/P3nT4gR4m/TJ1-ITT-p1.jpg) but with moar voodoo
Right now the look that I have in mind is a Magiqual hosrie manual, like something by Crowley or Carl Buggenhagen for the main texts with the odd "full color print" like the glossy pages in book of thoth, little 1/4 page numbers in the centre. I have this (http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/P3nT4gR4m/Realitygrid.jpg) to chuck in somewhere, need moar!
Also marginallia memes scrawled on in red ink/suspect human fluids. Anyone knows of any fonts that look like they were scrawled onto paper, with a sharpened ballpoint pen, by an autistic psychopath? I have a couple but a few more that repeat well or could be chopped together would be handy.

Maybe you were only looking at half the picture?
Okay, so we're talking about content that describe what we would consider basic Discordian "theory and practice," but with a special emphasis on making up bullshit claims about how IT WILL CHANGE YUOR LIFE, a la McOccultism?
I thought it was theory and practice smattered with tonnes of bullshit, like The Anarchist Cookbook. (No, smoking bananas will not get you high.)
There's no reason we can't do both.
If we don't have a cover, I'd offer a version of my Five fingered hand (see avatar). We can put 6 random bullshit meme symbols at each point of the hexagram, and a bold 5=6 floating somewhere.
I may have some other content to contribute to this one.

Zing! I think we're pretty much on the same page here. I love the evangelical tone of Crowley in the intro to theory and practice, defo need to throw in some of that. The ridiculous claims and pseudo science gobshite of the new age and neopagan literature will also be applied to discrodian thought paradigms.
For example, imagine a suitably "authentic" looking gardnerian spell illustrating the law of fives.
For my own part I came across discordia on the back of a long period of occult study and, from what I gather, there's quite a few on this board alone who have a similar background or ongoing interest in these kind of semantic systems.
I don't want this release to be any form of mystical system of whatever but I do think it'd work really well in the style of a caricature or lampoon of some of the classics. If there's a ritual described it should be obvious (like it was in the original PD) that it's a piss take but, at the same time, if a cabbage reads it and is convinced enough to try it then all the better.
Oh yes, now I definitely get it. :lulz:
Some source material --> http://www.academyofsorcery.com/
QuoteNow you can master the art and science of commanding omnipotent supernatural beings, including: fallen-angles, demons, the rulers of unearthly mystic dimensions, and even the embodiments of the elements (sylphs, salamanders, gnomes, and so on.)
You'll discover how normal people have learned to enlist the service of spirits -- entities -- and elementals to get what they want out of life. Whether it be the destruction of a terrible menace, the whereabouts of a powerful occult artifact or perhaps an increase of money and popularity.
Yes, this is the REAL stuff they don't want you to know about. Banned from bookstores, prohibited by churches -- it's all here!
But before you get excited and wonder about all the possibilities magic powers will grant you let me be first to remind you: REAL Magic & Sorcery isn't for just any average Joe surfing the web... in fact it many not even be for you...

By the way, one of the sentences ends "sing verses of some old" I think a word's missing there. (It's by the picture of the girl in the dress holding a lethal-looking loaf).

THE PROPITIATION OF ST GULIK
by Johnny Brainwash, Admiral to the Floating Republic of Mu
Upon Commencement Of A Journey (being a lesser rite of the KallistiCon Collective)
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2142/1646074188_ee281c865b.jpg)
The driver* intones the blessing* of St. Gulik:
---
O blessed St Gulik, beloved of hitchhikers,
protector of dumpster divers and others of much ilk,
ride shotgun with me.
May the highway patrol be distracted by shiny objects.
May the axe murderers give me a smile and a nod
and let me go on my way.
May the sun shine on my road, except when it rains.
May the beers be cold and my fellow travelers beautiful.
May the rental car* be blessed and brought into your fold.
And if you don't listen to prayer, then to hell with you.
---
The driver takes a sip of coffee*, and intones the mystical phrase:
"gabba gabba"
The cup is passed around the passengers, who repeat the driver's actions and words.
The driver next takes a nibble of a snack*, intones:
"gabba gabba"
and likewise passes the snack around.
When all have partaken, the driver breaks off a piece of the snack and places it underneath a tire
in such a manner that it will be run over when the car begins to roll. This is followed by a splash
of coffee, also beneath the tire, and the driver completes the incantation:
Gabba gabba
We accept you
We accept you
One of us
The driver finishes the coffee and snack, sharing with the passengers as desired.
Then the driver says "Let's go."*
~-~-~-~-~
*driver: or his designee, although the National League of Dynamic Discord refuses to accept
the designated driver rule.
*intones the blessing: Back in the day, it was traditional to give the entire blessing. In modern times,
however, the practice has arisen of posting the blessing to the internets and incorporating it by reference;
e.g., "O blessed St. Gulik, etc, etc. Go read the link yourself...."
*may this rental car: In cases where the vehicle is not a rental, or in fact not a car, the driver may
substitute "may this vehicle".
*coffee: or tea, or energy drink, or fizzy sugar-water. While this rite may be said to have roots in
Voudoun invocation, alcohols should be avoided for obvious reasons.
*snack: Cookies and chocolate are most traditional, but let's face it: Gulik is a cockroach. He'll eat
anything. The Venerable Red Vines of Kallisticon have been used to great effect, but they are few and
hard to come by.
*Let's go: or something equally clever.

NOTE: Among the other blessings for a traveler are;
~ sharing food or other needful items with fellow travelers,
~ choosing the nicer route over the faster one,
~ and picking up hitchhikers.
One should hold close the words of Beatus Ffungo, who said, "Traffic is people."

Archivist Note (-Telarus, KSC):
This was posted to PDcom back in 07 as well, so you can look for the results of that era of the egregore
if you so choose (I noticed a lot of mis-forum noise, as it was posted in Or Kill Me). You may learn the
esoteric version of the chant there.
Also, I recommend performing this rite. Loudly. Audiences help, too. The sheer experience of rounding up a
car-ful of people just to make them look the fool in public then getting locked into a metal box moving at high speed
with them will teach you how ritual actually works. This ritual has launched 2 very successful KallistiCon journeys
for myself and others. I wonder what it would do to your day?
Pent,
For #6, put in the SSOOKN 'advert' (...and thus we are navigators etc). Of course, in true Rosicrucian fashion, omit any contact details.
Pent,
I have a 7 page article that I think would fit into #6 pretty well. If you're flush with submissions already, then I could chop it up a bit (but it is already a part 00001 in a series).
email me: telarus[at]gmail and I can send it to you in a doc.

According to wikipedia, Gardner demonstrated an aversion to homosexuality, claiming that it brought down "the curse of the goddess" .
The citation is Gardner, Gerald B (1954). Witchcraft Today. London: Rider and Company. pp. 69, 75.
The witches tell me 'The law always has been that power must be passed from man to woman or from woman to man, the only exception being when a mother initiates her daughter or a father his son, because they are part of themselves' (the reason is that great love is apt to occur between people who go through the rites together.) They go on to say: 'The Templars broke this age-old rule and passed the power from man to man: this led to sin and in doing so it brought about their downfall.
-Gardner, Gerald B. Witchcraft Today (1954)
"Gerald was homophobic. He had a deep hatred and detestation of homosexuality, which he regarded as a disgusting perversion and a flagrant transgression of natural law....'There are no homosexual witches, and it is not possible to be a homosexual and a witch' Gerald almost shouted. No one argued with him."
-Lois Bourne, (one of the High Priestesses of the Bricket Wood coven) Dancing with Witches. (2006)
Gerald Gardner prolly had no opinion about homosexuality either way, right up until Crowley came in his mouth :lulz:

Dear editor,
Wow! Intermittens #4 was the best one yet! I got kicked out of class when I

Dear editor,
The occult practices described on page 5 of Intermittens #4 were... innovative to say
the least. Let's just say I agree with the decision to pull the issue and I have dutifully
burned my copy and flushed the ashes.
-Al Crow
Dear Intermittens Staff:
As a student of both English and Arabic literature, I found Intermittens #4 to be not
merely offensive, but downright obscene. My friends who study Philosophy likewise were
perplexed and dismayed with the content in said issue. Please refrain from publishing
such offal in the future.
Thank you,
Steven
Dear editor
The insights expressed in issue #4 have changed my life drastically. I never knew that
the works of Chaucer could be interpreted that way, and needless to say I was not at
all prepared for what came next. Looking back, perhaps I ought never to have opened
that infamous issue, but there's no changing the past. At least now there's never a dull
moment in my life, ha ha!
HA HA HA!
Hahahaha Heehehehe...
Dear Mr. or Ms. Intermittens Editor:
Don't do that ever again. We have a lawyer who is pretty sure he can nail
a precedent-setting case against you for 'that issue.' Consider this a warning.
Sincerely,
Dr. Amir Buladowitz, M.D. and Mrs. Leslie Buladowitz
I think it's reasonable to include one or two such letters in this issue and subsequent issues.
p3nt4, you should ask ENKI-][ for magickal sigil clip-art, he seems to churn out that shit like a high pressure cholera spray hose.
or even easier, ask if you can cut & paste some of the more occulty stuff from his image-walls in the PICS thread (they might be useful for something after all! ;-) )

Quote from: Verthaine on January 08, 2004, 10:28:56 PM
Let me clarify some misconceptions here.Chaos and Order are NOT equal.
Chaos is the PRIMAL SOURCE of All Things,it is like the Tao.Chaos is it's own opposite(which is VOID,i.e NO-THINGS.) Order and Disorder are the opposite and equal to each other.It is two of the five elements that make up CHAOS.(the other three are :
Entropy,NegenropyandConsciousness.These are different from the Discordian elements:i.e Sweet,Boom,Orange,Prickle-prickle,and pungent,which in all actuality are the 5 senses.)
Chaos does not "reign supreme",Chaos just IS.All things are created by chaos,shaped by chaos,and will return to chaos,and so forth.If a butterfly can change the weather in New York,just by flapping it's wing in China,imagine what We do by just breathing....
Discrdianism cannot be divided by itself,because it will always be WHOLE.
Remember,Mal-2 said that every man women and child are popes,and Eris said that we are all free.Everybody is a discordian,whether they admit it,or know it or not.Buddhism,Islam,X-tianity are all just different discordian cabals.Everybody has the right to have their own relationship with Eris(or not) in a way that they and Eris agree upon(or not).
Quote from: Verthaine on January 10, 2004, 10:21:43 PM
We discordians/erisians do not create or cause chaos.No one can.We can create confusion,disorder and strife,but not chaos.We can manipulate eristic/aneristic vibes,but we cannot create chaos.Chaos creates us.Chaos shapes us.The best we can say is that we humans created the NAME Eris.
In my many years on Spaceship Gaia,I have encountered many discordians who seem to think that discordianism is only about acting so weird that no one can stand being around them,screaming out "fnord" all the time,and genuinely acting like drama queens.Discordianism is waaaayyy more than that.Erisianism is about being yourself.Finding your way through the chaos that surrounds us.The Hon.Hagbard Celine once warned(in the Illuminatus!Trilogy) that the L.D.D. not only stands for Legion of Dynamic Discord, but also stands for Lots of Deluded Dopes.
Eris does not command that we go forth and cause chaos.All Eris wants us to do is be free. The Principia Discordia was the first religious tract that actually basically came out and said"Think for Yourself,Schmuck". It should have also said"Speak for yourself,Asshole".
Discordianism is NOt a Pagan/Wiccan Tradition.There is nothing tradional about discordianism.In fact, the variousPagan/Wiccan traditions are just different Discordian cabals.So are Buddhism,Taoism(actually,the Taoists were the first to come out and admit it.Look up the Tao te Ching and read up on the "The Mysterious Woman and The Mother Of The Ten Thousand Things),Christianity,Judaism,Islam,and so on and so forth.
The Principia Discordia is not the final word on discordianism,it is only the first words.The P.D. is only an "Introduction to the Erisian Mysterees,Which is Most Interesting".,and it is just the Opinion of the Joshua Norton Cabal(Surrealists, Harlequinists, Absurdists and Zonked Artists Melee- has anyone else noticed that that spells Shazam!<Goddess I love Mal-2),and we are meant to write our own Holy Books.I sure did.
If I cant find some other choice Verthaine quotes, I think we can edit them into a narrative. Oh, and Cram grabbed the #Six slot, are we bumping this back to #7?
Will post more thread archeology when I find the good bits.

Suggestion for Issue 6
Shooped picture of "Pope" Benedict plus sick African AIDS suffers overlaid with his quote about contraception making the problem worse.
Or a picture of a former Hitler Youth member visiting Israel to talk about how bad the Holocaust was...oh wait...too late. That actually happened.
There's some things I really wanted to use for issue 7, but I simply ran out of room (and time). Too much good stuff.
As there's some similarities in our issues' themes, some of what I found might fit your issue. I'll send you a message in the next few days with some links you might want to use. Or not.
If I forget, send me a message saying "Where the hell's the stuff?"

I can't believe I missed that. Leave it to Verthaine to see it.
Still working on this? I wondered if you wanted to put in some blurb about how participatory the evolution of Discordianism is, with anyone being able to contribute to Scripture or invent Holydays.
I bet there are quite a few examples to be easily found on the forum, but I was scrounging around and remembered this:
Quote from: Nigel on August 12, 2009, 10:04:50 PM
Aftermath 65, (December 23), is now the holyday known as "Circlemas", on which circles are pondered, noticed, and appreciated. To celebrate Circlemas, you may wish to decorate yourself, your household, or other things with circles and circular patterns, and partake only of circular foods such as cake, pie, and pizza.
Or, you may not.
which is what made me think of it. I know that various cabals invent their own holydays all the time, and they get incorporated into other cabals' calendars, and so on and so forth. Actually what I should do is write a full article on it, but first I wanted to check in and see if this issue is still on the table.
Also, has anyone come up with a good way of making sure submissions don't get published more than once? One of mine is in both #3 and #7, and it seems like it would be good to avoid such redundancies.
I still have the work I've done so far and I plan on completing it at some point. I'm languishing in a creative funk atm but as soon as it passes I'll get back to work. The thing about the circles fits in well with a tarot card marginalia thing I'm doing.
Nice!
