Ia all!
Been a while since I have posted here I have been busy with mundane stuff and Satanic projects and endeavors, but would like to share a ritual I have been working on. It is to create a servitor Shoggoth. This technique has been detailed in many tomes, indeed I have a Satanic ritual crafted for creating a servitor or temporary familiar that has a distinctly Satanic aesthetic obviously.
Noted magicians such as Aleister Crowley performed the ritual for creating a homunculus. Another group, that created a group servitor is Fraternitas Saturni. The group egregore they created was known as GOTOS, which looks very similar to the creature depicted in the silent movie Nosferatu.
The homepage of the Fraternitas Saturni is here if you want some historical background on the order and the creation of the group egregore GOTOS.

This is an ancient technique, and it is high time it was brought within the Cthulhu Cult idiom in my own opinion - using the distinctive magickal techniques of the Cthulhu Cultist.
The word Shoggoth is, suggestive of the Chaldean word "shaggathai". Shaggathai translates as "fornication" and provides a significant clue as to what methodology to utilize. "Beth Shaggathai" which means "House of Fornication" may be related to or even a progenitor of HPL's "Pit of Shoggoths".
The use of sexual energy in creating thought-form entities is a particularly old and powerful technique. The classical technique involves direct manipulation the sexual fluids to create the thought-form entity. HPL's description of a formless Shoggoth as a viscous mass of protoplasm seems reminiscent of this technique.
Altar Setup and Tools -
This would be a standard Cthulhu Cultist altar. I would suggest having:
The Standard Cthulhu Cultist sigillum that is available from Magus Venger Satanis when you join CoC otherwise whatever you use personally.
Dagger
Central Firebowl/incidental candles for lighting
Green light source for a nice green ichor to the chamber.
Ritual robe
A prepared Shoggoth creation chamber (see below)
The Cthulhu Bible
lancet for drawing blood
Shoggoth sigil - plus a printout of the form you desire
A representation of Shub-Niggurath - I find my large Baphomet statue works admirably. The Goat of a Thousand Young is appropriate for this operation given its association with fertility. This shall be veiled with a black cloth until after the Invocation.
Music, nature sounds such as goat noises or drumming or even low cycle repetitive sounds are appropriate.
A strobe light.
Any incidental symbols such as the inverse pentagram, Elder Sign etc..
A bowl of ichorous green slime - this is easy enough to find online..or there are recipes for making your own green slime. Its an aesthetic item, and optional.
A chalice full of your favorite elixir - I prefer my own homemade absinthe for the green color and its potent kick.
Incense - I have a specific Cthulhu Cult blend, but any of the darker earthier scents will do.
The Ritual -
After determining the use or function of the Shoggoth you will create, you will need to design a sigil representing it. HR Giger, has excellent artwork that could suggest the physical form of the Shoggoth entity.
First you will prepare a vessel or creation chamber. You will inscribe the Elder Sign on the top of the lid and the talisman of Yhe on the inside of the lid.
The Preliminary Invocation of the Elder Gods -
Cultist is prepared and properly robed.
Gong is sounded three times.
Dagger tip is lowered into firebowl, and the flame is then projected around the working area creating the magickal circle of the Black Arts.
Here, the standard Cthulhu Cult Call to Chaos may be given as a preliminary.
Dead Spheres of Kaleidoscopic Nightmare!
Antediluvian Harbingers of the Great and Awful Change!
Forces from the Absolute… Horned and Tentacled, Slimy and Infernal - hear me!
I AM your servant. I AM your master. I AM that I AM…
Whosoever journeys to K'thana visits the chaos of crimson and jade. I visit the sunken grottoes of endless, bloodthirsty war! Confrontation is needed. I turn in order to face myself as I become the divinity's reflection. Desire is not passive. Aggression breeds the strength which darkness needs. Conviction grows from the blood. I am cut from this warrior race. The overcoming washes over the inner and outer cosmos like magenta moonlight. My soul a savage night of stars, our inner selves a dreamlike paradise of demonic truth. The reptilian insect things hang in the air like dripping, chattering, corpulent bodies. They enter this world at my command. These entities bring the knowledge of all things hidden, and leave with all that drains our energy.
Here I stand to honor the Old Ones. Here I stand, now, looking upon my flesh from outside myself. Every I within me gazes upon the violet flame growing like a loathsome flower in the abyss. Simultaneously, the many "I's" peer inward.
Ia Ia Shemhamforash!
Narrow is the Dark Way and few are the black magicians who may walk its path. Within myself there are many voices, and each voice emanates from a horrible red mouth slurping the green vital juices that ooze from the foul source. Only the elite can rule. Certain forces must dominate others. Secret laws have to be observed before we can become a singularity, a Godlike being. When all of reality is understood to be an illusion, I can extend my will. Consciousness is a gift from Cthulhu and Satan!
Those who understand are near…
I envision myself in all the unclean shades of rainbowed hideous paradise.
Dead Spheres of Kaleidoscopic Nightmare!
Antediluvian Harbingers of the Great and Awful Change!
Forces from the Absolute… Horned and Tentacled, Slimy and Infernal - hear me!
I AM your servant. I AM your master. I AM that I AM…
So mote it be!
Opening of the Gates -
Left hand is raised in the Voorish sign (the sign of the Horns.)
Let us do honor to Azathoth, without whose laughter this world should not be.
Honor to Azathoth!
Azathoth, great center of the cosmos, let thy mad flutes sing unto us, lulling us against the terror of thy domain. Thy merriment sustains our fears, and we rejoice in the World of Horrors in thy name.
Honor to Azathoth, without whose laughter this world should not be.
(Left hand is lowered, then the sign of the Horns is made with the right hand.)
Let us do honor to Yog-Sothoth, without whose sign we ourselves should not be.
Honor to Yog-Sothoth!
Yog-Sothoth master of dimensions, through thy will are we set upon the World of Horrors. Faceless one, guide us through the night of thy creation, that we may behold the Bond of the Angles and the promise of thy will.
Honor to Yog-Sothoth, without whose sign we ourselves should not be.
(Both arms raised at sharp angles, making a "y' shape)
The Daemons are, the Daemons were, and the Daemons shall be again. They came, and we are here: they sleep, and we watch for them. They shall sleep and we shall die, but we shall return through them. We are their dreams, and they shall awaken. Hail to the ancient dreams. (Facing altar now.)
I call now to the unsleeping one, the black herald Nyarlathotep, who assureth the bond between the living and the dead. Hail Nyarlathotep! O dark one, who rideth the winds of the Abyss and cryeth the night gaunts between the living and the dead, send us to the Old One, of the World of Horrors, whose word we honor unto the end of the deathless sleep.
Hail Nyarlathotep!
Hail to thee, black prince from the grotto whose charge we bear. Hail to thee and thy fathers, within whose fane thou laugh and scream in terror and in merriment, in fear and in ecstasy, in loneliness and in anger, upon the whim of thy will. Hail Nyarlathotep, Prince of the Abyss! In thy name let us behold the father. Let the Old One who reigneth upon the World of Horrors come and speak with us, for we would again strengthen the bond that liveth within the angles of the Path of the Left.
(Facing altar, fists clenched, cross both hands, left over right against the chest.)
Incense is offered. Gong is sounded.
Hail Shub-Niggurath, progenitor of the World of Horrors and of the hornless ones. Hail, deathless one, who sleepest not while we honor thy name and thy bond.
Ia Shub-Niggurath! Behold thy glory! (The Goat of a Thousand Young is unveiled)
Invocation of Shub Niggurath and the Creation of the Shoggoth Form -
Facing the representation of Shub Niggurath you shall say:
Shub-Niggurath is the Lord of the Woods.
From the Wells of Night to the Gulfs of Space, and from the Gulfs of Space to the Wells of Night, ever the praises of Great Cthulhu, of Tsathogguau, and of Him Who is not to be Named.
Ever their praises and abundance to the Black Goat of the Woods.
Ia! Shub-Niggurath!
Ia! Shub-Niggurath!
Ia! Shub-Niggurath!
Hail to the Black Goat of a Thousand Young!
Shub-Niggurath, Great Lord of the Woods, giver of Life, bestow your productivity to this rite. Confer your fertility. The portents of your fecundity are rejoiced. Ever praises to Shub-Niggurath the Black Goat of the Woods.
Ia! Shub-Niggurath.
The container is opened. The representation of the Shoggoth is placed where the magician can see it easily. The sigil is faced.
At this point you may turn on the strobe light (if using) and low frequency noise or even static or "white noise", and will then disrobe and begin to stimulate yourself whilst concentrating on the sigil, and strongly visualizing the form of the Shoggoth.
You will imagine your energy bringing the thought-form to life.
Many energy-building techniques could be used here.
I suggest using the one that works best for you.
As the moment of orgasm approaches the magician shall cry out:
N, (name of the Shoggoth)! Come forth! Behold now I create you!
The mind should be completely visualizing the form coming to life.
You will allow your sexual fluids to land on the Sigil energizing it and thereby giving life to the Shoggoth.
The container is now closed and the following is said:
Thanks and praises to Shub-Niggurath - The Black Goat.
Ia! Shub-Niggurath!
The Sign of Koth is given followed by the Elder Sign.
The ritual is then closed in standard fashion. I would suggest stating
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
Then I would recite the Call of the Nine Angles (see below)
The ritual should be repeated three times on three days but they need not be consecutive.
Feeding the Shoggoth -
The ritual is opened as detailed above.
The magician should enter whatever form of excitatory energy they are familiar with.
Next, the magician opens the container with his left hand and makes the Elder Sign with his right hand.
You could use the dagger to draw blood, but I find a lancet more tidy and easier.
You will then put drops of blood on the sigil and say:
N, (Shoggoth's name)!
I command you to feed and grow strong so that you may serve my will!
Repeat 3X
N! Drink the blood that I offer and let the new flesh emerge!
As you do this you shall visualize the form of the Shoggoth.
Visualizing the Shoggoth's form clearly is critical to the success of this ritual.
The feeding phase will continue for 40 days. As a practical note you may find that you have to give an abbreviated form of the ritual if pressed for time.
40 days is an alchemical month, and is an arbitrary number..you may find it may not take as long, it depends upon the energy you put into it. You should though have a set number of days, for the purposes of feeding the sigil and thought form.
You should though try to visualize the form every time you feed the sigil.
Once the last day of the feeding phase arrives, you will then state your intent.
N!, I command you to leave the chamber of creation. Enter the world and perform your task as I will. Go forth and (state its specific task).
I command, I command, I command!
By my will so mote it be!
You will then give the Voorish Sign and will destroy the talisman of Yhe and the Sign of the Elders on the lid of the container.
If the Shoggoth's task is semi-permanent or of a guardian-type purpose it will need periodic recharging and it is recommended.
If at any point the Shoggoth becomes rebellious or ineffective, then you will destroy the sigil and give a standard banishing.
Call of the Nine Angles-
Hail father and lord of the angles, master of the World of Horrors.
We speak the Bond of the Nine Angles to honor the flutes of the laughing one, the master of dimensions, the herald of the barrier and the Goat of a Thousand Young.
From the First Angle is the infinite, wherein the laughing one doth cry and the mad flutes wail until the ending of time.
From the Second Angle is the master who doth order the planes and the angles, and who hath conceived the World of Horror in its terror and glory.
From the Third Angle is the messenger, who hath created thy power to behold the master of the World of Horrors, who giveth to thee substance of being and knowledge of the Nine Angles.
From the Fourth Angle is the ram of the Sun, who brought thyselves to be, who endureth on the World of Horrors and proclaimeth the time that was, the time that is, and the time that shall be; and whose name is the brilliance of the Nine Angles.
From the Fifth Angle are the hornless ones, who raise the temple of the five trihedrons unto the Daemons of creation, whose seal is at once four and five and nine.
From the Sixth Angle is the sleep of the Daemons in symmetry, which doth vanquish the five but shall not prevail against the four and nine.
From the Seventh Angle is the ruin of symmetry and the awakening of the Daemons, for the four and the nine shall prevail against the six.
From the Eighth Angle are Masters of the Realm, who raise the temple of the eight trihedrons unto the the Daemons of creation, whose seal is at once four and five and nine.
From the Ninth Angle is the flame of the beginning and the ending of dimensions, which blazeth in brilliance and darkness unto the glory of desire.

Ia Shub-Niggurath! Behold thy glory! (The Goat of a Thousand Young is unveiled)
Invocation of Shub Niggurath and the Creation of the Shoggoth Form -
Facing the representation of Shub Niggurath you shall say:
Shub-Niggurath is the Lord of the Woods.
From the Wells of Night to the Gulfs of Space, and from the Gulfs of Space to the Wells of Night, ever the praises of Great Cthulhu, of Tsathogguau, and of Him Who is not to be Named.
