A Discordian Sect is a group which has been inspired by a body of work which has greatly influenced Discordian thought. As with most fandom, the author of the works is reified.1
Here, then, is a brief overview of the most popular Discordian Sects, in chronological order.2

Note 1. We all know there aren’t any Real Discordian authors. The only Real Discordian Author is Shakespeare, and even he was really his sister.
Note 2. Chronology is relative. The author of this work is not responsible for lost or stolen timelines.1
Note 3. Despite popular rumor, “Greg Hill” was never a pseudonymn of Wilson’s. It was Mr. Momomoto’s brother that was a pseudonymn of Wilson’s.4
Note 4. Not really, but don’t tell Them that!
Note 5. I met Stephanie Meyer once and she has the words “Ewige Blumenkraft” tattooed in a very private area.4

Michael Bolton
Actually, I’m in the Michael Bolton camp. Michael Bolton is no good for her!
I refuse sects cept Disco.
“we are the wild cards. they dunno we’re coming.”
Michael’s a pussy. But a darn cute one.
You left out several. What about 23 Apples of Eris? A group that’s not a group, has no theme, has random bits from wherever, is full of love/hate, is incredibly active/inactive/active again?
Also this post is actually a disquised cheap ad for a certain pretencious so-called “We’re Discordian because we hate Discordians” website and is actually spam.
What’s wrong with that if that’s what you want to post?
23AE is Eris’ retarded step-son that she locks in a closet and only lets out on its birthday (aka Tackle A Pope Day) to blow out a candle before sequestering it in the darkness to play with itself for another year.
At least, that’s what I dreamed last night, after eating a crab souffle before bed.
I like having Discordian sects.
