POEE

POEE (pronounced "POEE") is an acronym for THE PARATHEO-
ANAMETAMYSTIKHOOD OF ERIS ESOTERIC.  The first part can be taken to
mean "equivalent deity, reversing beyond-mystique."  We are not really
esoteric, it's just that nobody pays much attention to us.

    MY HIGH REVERENCE MALACLYPSE THE YOUNGER, A.B., D.D., K.S.C., is
the High Priest of POEE, and POEE is grounded in his episkopotic
revelations of the Goddess.  He is called the Omnibenevolent
Polyfather of Virginity in Gold.

    The POEE HEAD TEMPLE is the Joshua Norton Cabal of the Discordian
Society, which is located in Mal-2's pineal gland and can be found by
temporally and spacially locating the rest of Mal-2.

    POEE has no treasury, no by-laws, no articles, no guides save Mal-
2's pineal gland, and has only one scruple -- which Mal-2 keeps on his
key chain.

    POEE has not registered, incorporated, or otherwise chartered with
the State, and so the State does not recognize POEE or POEE
ordinations, which is only fair, because POEE does not recognize the
State.

    POEE is five DEGREES:
         There is the neophyte, or LEGIONNAIRE DISCIPLE.
         The LEGIONNAIRE DEACON, who is catching on.
         The Ordained POEE PRIEST/PRIESTESS or a CHAPLIN.
         The HIGH PRIEST, the Polyfather.
         And POEE =POPES=.

    POEE LEGIONNAIRE DISCIPLES are authorized to initiate others as
Discordian Society Legionnaires.  PRIESTS appoint their own DEACONS. 
The POLYFATHER ordains Priests.  I don't know about the =POPES=.
