I'm creating a set ov discordian prayer beads. They'll be three sets of 5
small beads, seperated by 4 large beads, then connected to the a medal of the
Holy Chao, then 4 small beds leading down to my own Cabal's personal Sigil.
This makes 23 beads in all. Any suggestions on what should be said on them?
I'll use bits from the principia, but generally saying matric-sigils on it will
be done. another option is stuff like "Eris, may donuts rain from the skies"
or something like that. What should be said on them, and is this a good idea?

That seems pretty orderly for a discordian rosary. Perhaps the sets of small
beads shouldn't have such round numbers, rather, different amounts for each
set. And instead of having one strand at the end of the loop, why not have
various extra strands coming off the loop at various places? Like so:

instead of the standard one at the end of the Catholic rosary. You could end
them in various symbols, the Golden Apple, the Pentagon, the Chinese
Ideogram for "Mu," the Hodge-Podge, whatever you like. It's not like you're
actually going to use them to *pray.*

And could you post a picture somewhere on the web when you're done? That
would be cool.

What should beads say?

Symbols may work ok on beads. Maybe check out Discordian Tarot online
somewhere if you want to depersonalize it. I do lots of web searches
and report on unique things as easy to find.

I refuse to comment on portends of your prayer beads. Binding Eris'
Law was some sort of Accord, and I hope it has nothing to do with
Hondos. . .

(Another for the Bureauocrazy)

Another possibility:
5 Dreamer Prayers for Hung Mung
5 Shaman Prayers for Mojo Jojo
5 Acidhead Prayers for Sri Syadasti
5 Lunatic Prayers for ZaraTHUD
5 Discordian Prayers for Malaclypse

Each seperated by a Holy Chao. On the back of each Holy Chao, one letter of the
supa-secret holy name FNORD. (arranged as to represent Starbuck's Pebbles) One
of the Holy Chaos can lead to the HAND.

So there is a pentagonal option for you, if you so desire for it. There are
Discordians out there who would pray with one.

This is a great idea! I've been thinking of doing something like this for
years. You should probably have beads say things like "Kallisti", "23
Skidoo", "All hail Discordia", "Real Discordians eat babies"
Stuff like that. Whip out the old Principia and go crazy.

Hail Eris--All Hail Discordia--Kallisti

I suggest replacing the Cabal Sigil with a naked picture of bea arthur (from
golden girls).....unless of course that IS your sigil. In which case I'd
just write "lick here"...
