Augustus Sol Invictus is not your typical politician. While most politicians are known for kissing babies, Invictus is best known for admitting that he killed a goat and drank its blood in a ritual of thanks after returning from a journey in the Mojave Desert. Invictus changed his former name (which he will reportedly not reveal) to the Latin Sol Invictus (“Unconquered Sun”), which was the official sun god of the Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers. It appears the 32-year-old lawyer is willing to admit that critics got his goat, or at least the story, but insists that people can look beyond a goat-blood drinking Senator. “I did sacrifice a goat. I know that’s probably a quibble in the mind of most Americans. I sacrificed an animal to the god of the wilderness … Yes, I drank the goat’s blood.”
Invictus is the libertarian candidate for the Senate in Florida. His campaign has led to the resignation of the chairman of the Libertarian Party of Florida, Adrian Wyllie, in protest. Invictus has denied allegations that he is trying to lead a civil war or that he is a white supremacist (he notes that he has hispanic children).
However, on the goat thing, he admits that he did the deed but denies that he sadistically dismembered the goat.
Invictus is reportedly a follower of Thelema, a religion founded in the early 1900s by Aleister Crowley, an English writer and ceremonial magician. The law of Thelema is “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will.” Crowley founded the religion after a visit to Egypt in 1904 and said that he was contacted by a “praeterhuman” being that called itself Aiwass and dictated a text known as The Book of the Law or Liber AL vel Legis. There are multiple deities and a touch of the occult in the following.
Now back to Florida. Invictus insists that a little goat sacrifice and blood drinking pales in comparison to what must be done. He has previously said: “The only question is when are the citizens going to start fighting back?” he said in a phone interview Friday. “I don’t think I’m the only person who sees a cataclysm coming, but I think I’m the only person saying it, and I think that scares people.”
What is particularly interesting is that he reportedly renounced his citizenship in an earlier paper and said that he would wander into the wilderness. Well, he is back, a citizen and wants to be a Senator. He has called for “total insurrection”, saying to his followers:
“I do not want you to vote, so much as I want you to wake up. I want you to drop out and tune in. I want you to take LSD and practice sorcery. I want you to listen to trap music and black metal, to learn the law and to break it deliberately, to find your own religion. I want you to learn the use of firearms and subject yourselves to rigorous physical training. I want you to treat your bodies as Holy Temples and to take your girlfriend to a strip club so you can seduce a dancer in the back room. I want you to worship Nature and dance naked in the moonlight ‘round the fire, screaming in ecstatic joy. I want you to revolt. Raise Hell. Break your limitations. Renounce your life and go into the Wilderness, that God may speak to you of things to come.”
Hmmmm. He is certainly not the only Senate candidate to dabble in sorcery. Indeed, even presidential candidates have strived to become witch proof. However, adding sorcery, LSD, and naked dancing to your political pitch may be a bit over the top even from the most creative areas of Florida. That’s the problem with goat blood. Sure it may be spiritually cleansing but it is political poison.
“A Quibble”: Florida Senate Candidate Admits To Drinking Goat Blood
It’s only:
His writing seems very stream of consciousness, and I believe that Crowley was well acquainted with the Green Fairy.
It seems like such a waste to kill a goat just for its blood. Goats are quite commonly killed every Ramadan, as well as throughout the year. But they use the entire animal like any livestock, including the brains in calapache. Cow blood is also used to make blood pudding, and I believe porcine blood is used in some Old World recipes, as well, like blood sausage. Not really my thing.
But I rather like goats. Blood sacrifices seem like such a waste of life.
I checked his emails from my source on Cloud Nine. He is lying. He drank goat blood because he was headed to Vegas and was going to hook up with a hooker and thought that goat blood would give him some force in the lower 48. The hookers in Vegas know all about him. His nickname is LimpD.
Aw heck, it will all end tomorrow. The latest in doom and gloom and apocalypse.

“While our planet may have survived September’s “blood moon”, it will be permanently destroyed on Wednesday, 7 October, a Christian organization has warned.
Apocalypse now and again … your choice of dates for the end of the world
The eBible Fellowship, an online affiliation headquartered near Philadelphia, has based its prediction of an October obliteration on a previous claim that the world would end on 21 May 2011. While that claim proved to be false, the organization is confident it has the correct date this time.
“According to what the Bible is presenting it does appear that 7 October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away,” said Chris McCann, the leader and founder of the fellowship, an online gathering of Christians headquartered in Philadelphia.
“It’ll be gone forever. Annihilated.”
McCann said that, according to his interpretation of the Bible, the world will be obliterated “with fire”.
The blood moon – a lunar eclipse combined with a “super moon” – occurred without event on 27 September. This was despite some predictions that it would herald the beginning of the apocalypse. Certain religious leaders had said the blood moon would trigger a chain of events that could see our planet destroyed in as little as seven years time.
According to this new prediction, however, there will be no stay of execution. On the day of 7 October, the world will end.”

Hmmmmm
I may have to look into this. I especially like this quote “If you want something out of life, get off your lazy butt and work for it.”
I’m basically agnostic. I’ve always liked this quote (supposedly) by Voltaire
When Voltaire was dying, in his eighties, a priest in attendance called upon him to renounce the devil. Voltaire considered his advice, but decided not to follow it. “This is no time,” he said, “to be making new enemies”.
He’s trying to appeal to the Chupacabra vote.
Who knew Satanism could be so warm and fuzzy?

F.A.Q. Selling Souls
Q.
How do I sell my soul?
A.
Satanists do not believe in God, Satan, Heaven, or Hell. There are no souls—and nobody to buy them. If you want something out of life, get off your lazy butt and work for it.
Q.
If I join the Church of Satan will I become rich and famous and have sex with anyone I desire?
A.
No.
Q.
What can the Church of Satan do for me?
A.
Nothing that you can’t do for yourself. There is no supernatural magic to change your life. We offer a realistic, pragmatic, materialist philosophy which challenges you to work hard towards attaining your goals while living within the laws of the place where you live.
If you are not up for that, then Satanism is not for you.

Nick, I agree… Goat is fantastic!!!
and yes, he did eat the goat… 🙂
DBQ, Yeah… a LOT of what the Satanic Church says and DOES makes a LOT of sense.
as for that one passage, it just means that if somebody gives you something…
OR, they have left it out so somebody will take it…
They don’t mean take things that are not yours…. as that is a Satanic “sin” to take what does not belong to you.
Much of what the Satanic church teaches is: If it feels good, do it, as long as it does not hurt others…
and to THINK…. Learn… etc. etc…. and a lot about Freedom.
Last year I bought my daughter the Satanic Bible… It is a good read.
and just so you all know.. it has NOTHING to do with the WORSHIP of Satan..
To worship Satan, I would have to believe in god… and I don’t believe in god at all.
You humans on Planet Earth eat all sorts of animals and animal parts. Your worship all sorts of dubious things. I looked up this man’s emails on Cloud Nine. He has some interesting advice to other humans. One thing he said is odd and I need some Earthly guidance on this one. He said: “A goat in time saves nine.”
Oops Presbyterian, my iPad is satanic.
But you’ve been telling us all along that organized religion -especially the Christians- was the main problem in the USA.

“‘I Serve Darkness’: Oregon Gunman Wrote About Obsession with Satan in Reported Manifesto
The Umpqua Community College shooter was obsessed with Satan and documented his devotion to darkness in a manifesto that was recovered from his computer, a source familiar with the investigation tells PEOPLE. (PEOPLE has not received a copy of this document or confirmed its existence.)
In the reported manifesto, which allegedly had “666” scrawled across it, the source says, 26-year-old gunman Chris Harper Mercer wrote in detail about his desire to “serve darkness.”
“The guy did this strictly for satanic purposes,” the source tells PEOPLE. “He did it to become a god in hell. He wants to be evil. That is his goal, to serve Satan.” Mercer allegedly singled out Christians during his massacre, asking people to state their religion and shooting those who identified as Christians in the head.
*******************
His manifesto should be an interesting read, should it ever get published.

3 Awesome Ways Satanists Mess With Christian Conservatives
The Satanists have gotten conservatives to rise to the bait again. Recently, Megyn Kelly of Fox News brought Lucien Greaves of the Satanic Temple onto her program to discuss his decision to withdraw a request to put a statue of Baphomet at the Oklahoma state capitol. As Greaves explained, the Satanic Temple had only requested the statue as a response to the state putting up a statue of the Ten Commandments. Now that the Oklahoma Supreme Court has ordered the state to take down the Ten Commandments statue, the Satanists are, according to Greaves, satisfied that the state will not “allow a single viewpoint to co-opt the power and authority of government institutions.”
Obviously, Kelly’s purpose in having Greaves on was not to give a secularist viewpoint a fair hearing, but to drive up Fox News ratings by whipping her conservative audience into a what-is-this-world-coming-to outrage at hearing not only that Satanists exist, but they think they have rights and stuff, just like Christians. She probably accomplished that goal, but at the expense of making herself look like a fool. She was visibly angry at Greaves, spitting out words like “Satanist” and “pagan” and condescendingly sneering at “your devil figure”.”

OK, that was pretty funny.
The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
by Anton Szandor LaVey
@ Justagurl
You know…..those are some pretty good rules to live by.
Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
Do not harm little children.
Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
I’m a bit confused by this one: “Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved” Not quite sure how you are apprised of when it is ok to take stuff.
And this one: “Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained”
Otherwise these are all things that I consider to be common sense and good rules.
Most Satanists are Liberal so far as I know.
I agree with Libertarianism sort of… I just believe that we need regulations on business, as they have no conscience.
and I believe in gun control… NOT gun ban… I LIKE guns… just some control, like Europe.
other than that, I full ON believe that DRUGS should be legal.. and so should prostitution.
The War on Drugs, is a major FAIL!!!

Animal abuse. He should be locked up and fined handsomely, the moron.
——————-
REALLY???
For ONE, he KILLED it before he drank the blood.
and drinking the blood is NOT abuse, unless you think this because you are a Vegan… and in that case… not much
that can be said.
