  Principia Discordia - KQ Omnipedia
Principia Discordia is another dark magic book that was known to the people of Daventry, that reached them through the Withdrawal.
Some fans think that one possible interpretation for the Principia Discorida that is possible is that the fantasy-driven people of Daventry who think magic-wise, failed to understand the real purpose and role of this periodical book (which was to satirize the real religions of Earth) and misinterpreted it as a serious one.
This is however not likely however since the Principia Discordia has its own fictional backstory of connections between its writers and other beings, to give it a semblance of reality, much like what Peter Spear did with the King's Quest Companion by saying he was in contact with the fictional character Derek Karlavaegen.

  Discordianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Principia includes (on page 00041) a large portion of (or possibly all of) a chapter of "The Book of Explanations" which recounts how the HBT was revealed to Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst (believed by many to be Kerry Thornley).
The Principia Discordia often hints that Discordianism was founded as a dialectic antithesis to more popular religions based on order, although the rhetoric throughout the book describes chaos as a much more underlying impulse of the universe.
According to the Principia Discordia, POEE is "a tribe of philosophers, theologians, magicians, scientists, artists, clowns, and similar maniacs who are intrigued by Eris goddess of confusion and her doings." Furthermore it states that "POEE subscribes to the Law Of Fives of Omar's sect" and "POEE also recognizes the Holy 23."

(Elsewhere in the Principia Discordia, it is mentioned that the Curse of Greyface occurred in 1166 BC, so this is presumably the start-date of the calendar.) As a reference, the year Anno Domini 2000 is 3166 YOLD (Year of Our Lady of Discord).
The Discordian Calendar, as described in the Principia Discordia, is unclear about whether the St. Tib's Day rule follows the Julian or Gregorian Calendar.
The rule as given is "occurs once every four years", which would imply that the Discordian Calendar is effectively aligned to the Julian calendar and that the year begins on December 19 Julian.

The collage series is named after the sacred/comedic book "The Principia Discordia" because it shares a number of characteristics with it: a collage of appropriated materials, obvious self-contradictions and unusual humour, an exaggerated, often parodying and nonsensical technique, and oblique suggestions that there is serious intent behind the work.

The matron deity of Discordianism is the Greek goddess Eris, of discord, identified by the Romans as Discordia.
According to the Principia Discordia, POEE is 'a tribe of philosophers, theologians, magicians, scientists, artists, clowns, and similar maniacs who are intrigued by Eris goddess of confusion and her doings.' Furthermore it states that 'POEE subscribes to the Law Of Fives of Omar's sect' and 'POEE also recognizes the Holy 23.'
The choice of the pentagon as a symbol of the Aneristic Principle is partly related to The Pentagon in Washington, D.C., partly a nod to the Law of Fives, and partially for the Golden Ratio references associated with the pentagon/apple allegory.

The foundational document of Discordianism is Hill's Principia Discordia, although this book contains many references to an earlier source, The Honest Book of Truth, which was taken by a garbage collector, according to a quotation from The Honest Book of Truth, cited on page 00030 of the Principia.
This may have been done with the intention of merely "balancing out" the creative forces of order and disorder, but the focus is certainly on the more disorderly aspects of the world—at times the forces of order are even villified.
On page 00036 of Principia Discordia, we learn that "A =POPE= is someone who is not under the authority of the authorities," and that "Every man, woman and child on this Earth is a genuine and authorized Pope."
