A symbol of Discordianism, take-off of the phrase "sacred cow." Pictured
in the Principia Discorida,
an anonymous satirical book that pokes fun at religion and magick, it is described:
"THE
SACRED CHAO is the key to illumination. Devised by the Apostle Hung Mung in
ancient China, it was modified and popularized by the Taoists and is sometimes
called the YIN-YANG. The Sacred Chao is not the Yin-Yang of the Taoists. It
is the HODGE-PODGE of the Erisians. And, instead of a Podge spot on the Hodge
side, it has a PENTAGON which symbolizes the ANERISTIC PRINCIPLE, and instead
of a Hodge spot on the Podge side, it depicts the GOLDEN APPLE OF DISCORDIA
to symbolize the ERISTIC PRINCIPLE.
The Sacred Chao
symbolizes absolutely everything anyone need ever know about absolutely anything,
and more! It even symbolizes everything not worth knowing, depicted by the
empty space surrounding the Hodge-Podge."
This image is often
worn or displayed as an emblem of recognition by Discordians.
