I think it has something to do with Baphomet:
Baphomet is an idol or image of uncertain provenance, depicting a being of heretical worship. The name first came to public consciousness during the suppression of the Knights Templar.
In his 19th-century Occultist reincarnation, a well known depiction shows Baphomet in the form of a winged humanoid goat with a pair of breasts and a torch on his head between his horns. This image comes from Eliphas Lévi's 1854 Dogme et rituel de la haute magie (English translation Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual). Lévi considered the Baphomet to be a depiction of the absolute in symbolic form and explicated in detail his symbolism in the drawing that served as the frontispiece.

This is probably where it comes from:
Leviticus 17:7
7 They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols [a] to whom they prostitute themselves. This is to be a lasting ordinance for them and for the generations to come.'

Could it be the use of goats blood in Paganism?

I dont want to name them but these people assume that by doing this the spirit of the dead (animal/human) becomes their slave because they promise them enjoyment of flesh thru possession , in return for favors. They think that they will make a slave of the animal . Its spirit would be captured (or harvested) . During the ceremony/chanting they promise if it becomes their slave , they will allow themselves to be possessed by it , then the spirit will satisfy its desires by making the possessed eat , drink , sex etc as per their desire. The possessed(master) think that by making the slave of the harvested spirit they would make it work (as a jinn) for casting spells , for gathering information(crystal ball) etc. They try to harvest many spirits (sometimes human too). Dont go near them.
