Florida Senate candidate Augustus Sol Invictus has admitted to two acts that you don’t normally hear about from politicians: sacrificing a goat, and then drinking its blood in a pagan ritual. Why? Well, the Libertarian Party’s candidate is also a devout follower of Thelema, and the sacrifice and blood ritual were intended to give thanks for a week of fasting and prayer Invictus had just spent in the Mojave Desert. Augustus Sol Invictus–he changed his given name to the current Latin phrase, which means “Majestic Unconquered Sun”–is a 32-year-old attorney from Orlando. His campaign biography says Invictus is a “community leader,” as well as a “radical philosopher and infamous social critic.” Adrian Wyllie, the former chairman of the Florida Libertarian Party, resigned when Invictus received the party’s nomination for the Senate seat, calling Invictus “the absolute exact opposite of a Libertarian.” And Invictus himself is open about his desire for “total insurrection.” In a recent Orlando Sentinel interview, Wyllie was blunt on the topic of Augustus Sol Invictus. “He’s a self-proclaimed fascist,” Wylie said. “He’s promoting a second civil war….It’s absolute insanity. We must explain to people this is the opposite of Libertarians. This guy has no place in the Libertarian Party.” Invictus himself says that many of the claims about his pagan ways are overblown, and that Wyllie is running a “smear campaign” against him. He acknowledges that the goat story is true: “I did sacrifice a goat,” he told the Sentinel. “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.” (Worth pointing out: Immediately following publication of the Sentinal interview, the hashtag #goatquibble began trending on Twitter.) Invictus has also drawn attention from the FBI for his outspoken anti-government ways. For example, the eighth in Invictus’ series of Fireside Chats, “On The Insurgent Generation,” contains bold statements like “To be an American is to crave danger….The little children we once were would shudder at how weak we have become,” and “Let us return to the Old World, where everyone is happy to throw away empires and abandon both past and future.” Invictus acknowledges that, as a Libertarian, his is a long-shot campaign: Wyllie was the most popular candidate in the Florida party’s history, and still received only 3.8 percent of the vote in the 2014 gubernatorial election. For Invictus, his is a candidacy of ideas: “If not elected, I still think there is a purpose for all of this and that is to get a message out there, waking [citizens] up. They are the ones that control the government and not the other way around.” Reports that Invictus’ campaign had promised “the best barbecues in the state” could not be confirmed.

This guy is a Libertarian in the same way that Trump is a Republican.
More of a small l, libertarian perhaps. Even the party didn't kick him out, just distanced themselves from some of his views. He's running for Marco Rubio's old seat, which he abandoned.
Which views would that be? The goat's blood drinking?

For immediate release 2015-10-05 Alison Foxall The Libertarian Party of Florida condemns Augustus Sol Invictus for calling for civil war and his unwillingness to reject eugenics. During yesterday’s meeting of its Executive Committee, the Libertarian Party of Florida (LPF) voted to condemn platform issues associated with U.S. Senate candidate, Augustus Invictus. The LPF finds the initiation of violence through his call for civil war and state-sponsored murder abhorrent. These platform issues are diametrically opposed to the principles of the LPF. Char-Lez Braden, chair of the LPF said this morning, “Legally, the LPF has no control over a candidate’s political affiliation. Florida election laws allow anyone, with any ideology, to run as a candidate in the party they declared when registering to vote. The LPF has not endorsed Augustus Invictus and has not provided him with any support. Under the law, we cannot prevent him from running as a Libertarian and he is not required to enter our certification process.” On his campaign website, Invictus declares his support for eugenics. In his article, entitled “A Declaration of the Failings of the Federal Government,” he states, the federal government “has abandoned its eugenics programs & elitist mindset in favor of a decadent ideology that rejects the beauty of strength and demands the exponential growth of the weakest, the least intelligent, and the most diseased.” The LPF strongly rebukes Mr. Invictus’ call for eugenics. About the Libertarian Party of Florida: The Libertarian Party of Florida values human life and the right of all people to live in peace. All members of the LPF are required to declare “I hereby certify that I do not believe in or advocate the initiation of force as a means of achieving political or social goals” thus putting the LPF far out in front of any other party’s commitment to nonviolent political action. ###

The following is from the statewide LP, and probably differs from local groups, and individuals. Libertarians tend to not follow the herd. The Libertarian Party of Florida condemns Augustus Sol Invictus for specific platform issues
