Rare book and manuscript collectors, please collect your drool from the floor. In the video above Darklore contributor Adam Gorightly shows off "something that is going to be fundamental to his upcoming project: the complete, 60 page first edition Principia Discordia, one of only five copies, this one being the personal copy of Mal-2." Careful turning those pages man!

“To diverse gods do mortals bow; Holy Cow, and Wholly Chao.”

"The Sacred Chao is not the Yin-Yang of the Taoists. It is the Hodge-Podge of the Erisians. And, instead of a Podge spot on the Hodge side, it has a pentagon which symbolizes the Aneristic Principle, and instead of a Hodge spot on the Podge side, it depicts the Golden Apple of Discordia to symbolize the Eristic Principle. The Sacred Chao symbolizes absolutely everything anyone need ever know about absolutely anything, and more! It even symbolizes everything not worth knowing, depicted by the empty space surrounding the Hodge-Podge.
—Malaclypse the Younger, Principia Discordia, Page 00049

Eris creates a golden apple with the word kallisti (Ancient Greek: καλλίστῃ, to the prettiest one) inscribed in it. This, the Apple of Discord, is a notable symbol in Discordianism for its inclusion in the Holy Chao. The apple is traditionally described as being made of gold,[13] but the Principia Discordia notes a debate over whether the “gold” described was “metallic gold or Acapulco.”
