It's official, I'm psycic.

I have issues with the definition of "theurgy" in this context. I recognize immediately what modern Pagans term "theurgy", but it doesn't match the original definition.

Theurgy is a very specific process for contacting deity. It involves ascending to meet the "High God" or "Supreme God". It's a monotheistic experience. And you don't do it for power, you do it for the experience. Of course, that depends on the theurgist, I suppose.

But that's neither here nor there, I suspect.

Or are you saying that Discordianism is older than the mid-late 60s?

Sure am! 1958 (or maybe '59, apparently Mal-2 was unclear what year it actually was). :)

Discordianism is definitely young, I should clarify and say that most poeple think it originated in the 80's or 90's. Or else they've never heard of it. But generally, they tend to think of it as one of those wacky movements that's more like a fad than a religion.

great lengths to create a mythology tying themselves back to ancient times, hiding their relatively modern origins.

I'm very happy to be part of two religions that refuse to try to predate themselves.
