The full title of the fourth and most popular edition is PRINCIPIA DISCORDIA or How I Found Goddess And What I Did To Her When I Found Her: The Magnum Opiate Of Malaclypse The Younger, Wherein is Explained Absolutely Everything Worth Knowing About Absolutely Anything. It was written by Greg Hill (Malaclypse the Younger) and Kerry Thornley (Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst).
The work describes the Discordian Society and its Goddess Eris, as well as the basics of the POEE denomination of Discordianism. It features typewritten and handwritten text intermixed with clipart, stamps, and seals taken (possibly illegally) from other sources. The work is characterized by nonsense and numerous non sequiturs.
While the Principia is unusual among religious texts for its obvious self-contradictions and strange humor, it contains several passages that suggest a serious intent behind the work, especially a message scrawled on page 00075: "If you think the PRINCIPIA is just a ha-ha, then go read it again."
The following is page 00019 of the Principia Discordia, showing the typical elements that can be found throughout the book.
Heute die Welt, morgen das Sonnensystem - (Today the world, tomorrow the solar system [is what we seek to dominate]) - is a supposed motto of the Illuminati.
