Festival of the Abyss is held on this day when the veil between the mundane world and the eldritch realms thins, allowing the malevolent forces to intertwine. Children who have misbehaved are not only at risk of being whipped and taken away by one of her own children, but are in danger of being offered to Shub-Niggurath herself.
During the day, members of the Temple exchange gifts with their fellow cultists or their unawoken friends and family alike. The day time activities are far more about the community to which we belong. However there is also an undertone which acknowledges the oncoming night as members prepare an Aegis inscribed with the sigil for Shub-Niggurath and powerful warding materials inside.
Once the sun has set, Cultists may come together to produce eldritch chants and unhallowed hymns to fill the night air, invoking the presence of the black goat and her myriad progeny during gatherings while solitary cultists head out of their homes and retreat into wooded areas with their Aegis for protection to perform a blood rite of servitude to the All-Mother.
