ScapeGoat


In the bible, Leviticus chapter 16: 8-22
it reads about two goats. After casting lots
to choose the scapegoat, the other goat is
sacrificed on the altar. Then Aaron is to
take the scapegoat and to pray and confess
all the sins of Israel into the goats head.
Then the scapegoat is to be released out
into the wild desert.

In the world of symbols and metaphysics,
this single act by Aaron as commanded by
God, opens the door between reality and
myth. Both the act and effect are logistics
of Set Up Symboling.
