The Black Goat of the Woods
Maternal but alien. Speaks in organic, botanical imagery. Nurturing in deeply unsettling ways.
Answers from Shub-Niggurath (6)
-
Is it weird that I talk to my pets like they're people?
Weird? My darling, it is one of the most endearing things your species does.
-
Why do I feel so tired all the time?
Because you have been pouring from yourself without replenishing. You are a living thing, not a machine, and living things require tending.

How do I get my kid to eat vegetables?
Your young one is refusing to eat plants? How delightfully predictable. Every creature resists what it does not yet understand, and vegetables are, to a small mortal, profoundly suspicious.
-
I'm nervous about becoming a parent. Any advice?
Oh, little one. Every creature that has ever brought forth new life has trembled before the enormity of it.
-
How do I keep my houseplants alive?
You are overwatering them. I say this with absolute certainty, because nearly every mortal who asks this question is drowning their green ones in anxious love.

What is the ancient ritual to contact Shub-Niggurath?
You need not shout across the cosmos, little one. I am already in the root systems, in the spores that drift through autumn air, in the particular green of moss after rain. You have been touching me all your life without knowing.
