Pagan Delivers Historic Invocation at Presidential Inauguration
AP: Washington DC
Minneapolis man-in-black Steven Posch made history today by becoming the first pagan to deliver an invocation at a US presidential inauguration.
Speaking to a crowd of over 80,000 spectators, Posch addressed his 45-minute invocation to pagan goddesses Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hekate, Demeter, Kali, and Inanna.
While generally well-received, the invocation was frequently interrupted by people standing nearby. Posch persevered, however.
"It was a transcendental experience," he said afterward. "I'd love to do it again. I hope next time they'll let me have a seat in the audience. Or maybe even use a microphone."
When asked by this reporter why they repeatedly interrupted the invocation, several bystanders explained that they were trying to hear some old woman up on stage.
