Novus Ordo Seculorum Erisium-><- -><- -><- -><- -><- -><- -><- -><- -><--><- -><- -><- -><- ...dedicated to The Prettiest One... Okay, this is a discussion on magick, eh? Whoa,like, conjuring demons, throwing hexes, and predicting the future?Manipulation of the Hodge/Podge to TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION?! No. First off, any demons that might be around aren't gonna waste time withDiscordians (they're after the Greyfaced Religions, 'cause the guilt theycan lay on them...). Throwing hexes is painful, and bad for the joints.And if you are worried about the future, and world domination, then youhave no business trying out magick anyway. So, like, what is Discordianmagick, eh? Okay, Discordian Magick is a way in which the Discordian practicingit (called a Phool) to either add to or create Eristic Vibes or to deflector destroy Aneristic Vibes. Some Terms:----------- Vibes: Psycho-emotional energy given off be humansand other creatures. Eristic: Pertaining to Eris; pertaining to chaosin general. Aneristic: Against Eris; pertaining to order ingeneral. Phool: one who is aware of the presence an actionsof Vibes and uses Discordian Magick to manipulate the same Face: An aspect of Discordian Magick; the categoryof magick Nature: The end-product of Discordian Magick Hodge: The pseudo-Zen force of Order in the world Podge: The pseudo-Zen force of Chaos in the world The Doctrine: things have a tendency to work outok in the end Ju-Ju: The "aftershocks" of Discordian Magick; thelong-term effects. The Sacred Chao: The image of the Hodge and Podge. Greyface: One who unconsciously generates AneristicVibes. THEM: A group who consciously generates AneristicVibes; Phools gone Greyface. Discordian: One who unconsciously generates EristicVibes. Norm: A normal, vibe-unaware, guy-on-the-street.Typically Aneristic, due to the great amount of ambient Aneristic Vibes in the world. Vibes: what they be.-------------------- Okay, vibes are like energy which is given off byall creatures. You may know of Vril or Kirlian Aura or Alpha Wavesorsome other nonsense. Vibes may or may not be them, its really not important. What IS important is that they exist, and if theyexist, then they can be manipulated and created and destroyed. (Destroying waves can be bad Ju-ju. Be careful.) How do we know vibes arethere? Because, if you open up, you can feel them. You're being hitby them all the time, just most people aren't aware of them. Next timesomeone is being extremely chaotic, notice how that person's actions andpresence affect you... the same for someone being extremely ordered. Sometimes, the vibes can change your mood, your attitude, even y our health.So, now that I know the vibes are there, what can I do with them? Okay,eh? So, there are two basic kinds of vibes: Eristic and Aneristic. Eristic Vibes are pulses of chaotic energy, while Aneristic Vibes are pulsesof ordered energy... this means the fundamental concepts of chaos and order,not the waves themselves. (I.E. if vibes have a structure, both Eristicand Aneristic probably have the same structure. It is the kind of energywhich differs, not the structure.) Eristic Vibes USUALLY cause Chaos, Discordand Confusion (the first three Faces (q.v.)) and Aneristic Vibes USUALLYcause Beurocracy and Aftermath (the last two Faces). I say USUALLY because,like most things, there are several occasions when the five will crossover. A Phool must learn to appreciate the spinning of the Chao, and thecounter-push-pull of the Hodge and Podge, and learn when Eristic Vibesare needed, and when Aneristic Vibes are needed. As a very generalrule, the world needs more Eristic Vibes... there are far more Greyfacesin the world than there are Discordians. Faces----- Okay, eh, Discordian Magick is not exempt from theLaw of Fives. There are five facets to Discordian Magic, just likethefive faces of a pentagon. Ergo, to keep in line with this analogy,these aspects of magick have been termed "Faces". The 5 Faces are, naturally:Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Beurocracy, and Aftermath. # Aftermath # # Chaos # # # # # # # # Beurocracy # # Discord # # # # # # # Confusion When a Phool manipulates Vibes, the method in whichthe Vibes are manipulated is defined by the Face. Some brief explanations: Chaos: Vibes manipulated within the Face of Chaos,generally speaking, are designed simply to increase the amount of EristicEnergy in the area. Chaos magick is specifically unorganized, and oftenpurposeless. It is used to change mood, tone, and is also a way to banishGreyfaces. Discord: Vibes manipulated within the Face of Discordare deigned to affect large numbers of Norms, and sometimes Greyfaces. It is the second most destructive form of magick, and requires care inits use. It causes Norms to act in ways they would not normally,often for reasons they do not fully comprehend. Confusion: The most common form of magick, Vibesmanipulated within the Face of Confusion is a Discordians primary weaponagainst Anerism. It is a subtle form of magick, designed to gradually weannorms and Greyfaces from their hopeless addiction to Aneristic Vibes. Beurocracy: Vibes manipulated within the Face ofBeurocracy must be treated with care, as they can easily slip into Aneristicones instead of Eristic. Beurocratic Magick is designed to affect a largenumber of Norms into unconsciously succumbing to Eristic Influence. When used especially well, this form of magick is particularly effectiveagainst Greyfaces, as they may not even know that they are being manipulated. Aftermath: Vibes manipulated within the Face ofAftermath are the most dangerous tool a Phool can use. They are by farthe most destructive, and involve a permanent destruction of Vibes, anda ceasing of the Spinning of the Chao. Aftermath Magick is serious stuff.It means a closing and a te rmination of Energy. Don't use this stuff unlessyou're, like, really sure of yourself and are prepared to accept responsibilityfor the Ju-Ju you may cause. Nature, eh?----------- The Nature of Magick is not really an integral partof the Magick, but it helps the Phool to classify the effect his magickwill have on the world. There are many natures, but some of the basicones are: Creative: Designed to create ambient vibes. Usuallycalled "Eristic Creative" or "Aneristic Creative". Destructive: As Creative, but designed to destroythe vibes in question. Anti-Greyface: Countering Aneristic attacks by Greyfaces,or planting seeds of Chaos in their subconscious. Personal: Magick designed to alter the Phool's ownmoods, feelings, and attitudes. Helps recover from Aneristic attacks. Ritual: The ritual is a means of simply causingJu-Ju. It rarely has immediate effects, but when done, the Vibe Ju-Ju willcause long- term effects which the Phool may desire. Oracle: A means of "seeing the future"... not really,but what it does is open the Phool's mind to ideas which may indeedaffect the future. Part Five--------- This has been a very basic introduction into thetheories and practice of Discordian Magick. It has been presented in hopedof laying a groundwork for further study and explanation in the upcomingwork The Confunomicon.
