Cult of the All-Mother
Cult of Shub-Niggurath mostly is performed in the deep of a forest, in unholy places corrupted or stolen away fron the blessing of Danu, the Mother of All, Spirit of the Forest. If she manifest, she takes form in the middle of a forests, a trait which earned her the epithet of Black Goat of the Woods.
Another reason she is called the Black Goat is because many of the forms she assumes all involve her having the physical characteristics of a goat, which according to some, is supposedly the bastardization of the rituals of the Church of Danu.
Out of all of the Old Ones, she is one of the most extensively worshiped by the most depraved heathens. They believe that should they appease her, she will provide them with her "nutrients" that will purportedly give them immortality; unaware that the sustenance she offers will in fact turn them slowly into hideous monstrosities.
