Devi in her fiercest form today on Sapthami as Kalaratri, with her 3rd eye open, hair loose, dark in complexion, eyes blood red, mounted on a donkey. She slew the demons Shumbha, Nishumbha, lapped up the blood of Rakthabhija from falling on the ground.

Our secularised world is teeming with magicians, occultism, spiritism, astrologers and satanic sects. If we kick the devil out the door, he tries to return through the window. If we overcome him with faith, he seeks to return through superstition. #GeneralAudience
Friday tip: if you can't find hot dog sausages containing both beef and pork, because it's no longer 1959, you can still violate kosher by the milk'n'meat rule if you add cheese
As I chomp my weekly 'furter,
I pray to Goddess to divert 'er;
As long as I've got Her attention
We're safe from holy intervention.
The world's bullshit enough right now
Without poking the Sacred Chao;
But Eris, if thou answer prayers,
Pray play more Sink with billionaires ✌️
Detail on the altar frieze. Goddess guided my hand to cheap ebay bundles of old comics to supply the speechbubbles, some synchronistically apt.
(Image slightly edited by pasting close-ups of the bubbles over them, to make them readable)
Hail Eris, full of graoce, mistress of the primal chaos
Give us this Friday our weekly hotdog
Deliver us from evil; if evil is out, leave in wheelie bin
Nazi discordians fuck off
Amen
Hong Meng first appears in Chapter XI of the Zhuangzi, in which he rebuts Zhuang's philosophical questions with the inane gestures and brusqueness reserved for lunatics or the truly enlightened.
Ooh, "Great Nebulous" is a good translation too

Happy Mungday! Celebrating Eris' 1st Apostle, Hong Meng (or Hung Mung), playing for us on loan from Taoism. His name has been translated, on various attempts, as Vast Mist, Mists of Chaos, Vast Obscurity, Vital Principle, and my personal favourite, Big Goose Dummy. (1/2)
@ident1kitt Tories destroying the NHS is the difference between me going bankrupt, mad and/or dead and not (or at least doing so on my own terms), so yes
New altar frieze! A print of Edward Burne-Jones's "The Feast of Peleus", my favourite pre-Discordian image of Eris. I painted the Apple gold and added some living collagey speechbubbles (they're bluetacked on so I can always move/replace them)
@deepfates Rich people live on spaceships going at relativistic speeds so they can experience time ultra-slowly compared to the plebs, amass huge amounts of interest, and commission 200-year personal cathedrals to be built over the weekend
...much the same as all the other explorers, with the important exception that, Poyais being nonexistent, he didn't have to steal any land from real people.
Sort of a Scottish Emperor Norton. He even similarly printed his own money
Happy birthday* to HECK's patron saint, Gregor MacGregor, Cazique of Poyais. A Scots explorer who made up a Central American country and made a living flogging meaningless land deeds to wannabe colonisers
* born 24 Dec 1786 (it's still 24th in Poyais time)
