Create a ritual environment conducive to Shub-Niggurath. Set up an altar with a cauldron, sensual incense, milk, and the sigil of Shub-Niggurath, at the very least. This ritual is best performed outside in a wooded area, but if that is not possible it is recommended to bring a stick or tree branch into your ritual area from outside. This is to help associate the Black Goat to her home in the woods.
This ritual is meant to help one manifest the things they desire, by birthing them through Shub-Niggurath. Do you want someone to enter your life? Someone to change their view of you? Do you need a job opportunity? The thousand young of Shub-Niggurath are diverse and powerful, so with this ritual, we ask her to direct them in our favour.
Write down the things you wish to see in the world on small pieces of paper, preferably the night before the ritual. One thing, per piece of paper, so don’t be afraid to tear a sheet into pieces. Once you are finished, crumple up the pieces of paper and safely gather all of your requests into a small bag or sack. Once they are put away, you should also put them out of your mind until the ritual.
To begin the ritual, set up your altar, light the incense, and set up your cauldron fire. (To create a cauldron fire, simply combine rubbing alcohol and Epsom salt into the cauldron, and throw in a match. Use extreme caution, and remember a little goes a long way.)
Invoke Shub-Niggurath by calling out… “Iä Shub-Niggurath, Magna Mater, the black goat of the woods, mother of a thousand young! I call you forth to bear witness to my ritual. Your young hunger and cry for your help. Hear my voice as a plea for these things…”
Read off the requests pulling them from the bag one by one stating them as if the request was not coming from you, and throw them into the cauldron fire as you do. This is the act of fertilizing the fire in ShubNiggurath’s womb, leading to the birth of your desired results.
Continue this process until all notes are burned. Once all notes have been burned give thanks to the Magna Mater, ShubNiggurath for her love and aid. Thank her for your brethren and her blessings.
Then drink the milk.
