Trip FIVE
This Mystree Rite is not required for initiation, but it is offered by
many POEE Priest to proselytes who desire a formal ceremony.
1. The Priest and four Brothers are arranged in a pentagon with the
Initiate in the center facing the Priest. If possible, the Brothers
on the immediate right and left of the Priest should be Deacons. The
Initiate must be totally naked, to demonstrate that he is truly a
human being and not something else in dusguise like a cabbage or
something.
2. All persons in the audience and the pnetagon, excepting the
Priest, assume a squatting position and return to a standing position.
This is repeated four more times. This dance is symbolic of the
humility of we Erisians.
3. The Priest begins:
I, (complete holy name, with mystical titles, and degrees,
designations, offices, etc.), Ordained Priest of the Paratheo-
anametamystikhood of Eris Esoteric, with the Authority invested in me
by the High Priest of It, Office of the Polyfather, the House of the
Rising Podge, POEE Head Temple; do herewith require of ye:
1. Are ye a human being and not a cabbage or something? (The
Initiate answers, "Yes.")
2. That's too bad. Do ye wish to better thyself? (The Initiate
answers, "Yes.")
3. How stupid. Are ye willing to become philosophically
illuminized? (He answers, "Yes.")
4. Very funny. Will ye dedicate yeself to the Holy Erisian
Movement? (The Initiate answers, "Probably.")
