Black Goat of the Wood
The Mother of a Thousand Young, Magna Mater
A confusing entity whose lore seems to suggest masculine and feminine traits in different depictions, as well as suggesting certain caprine traits paired with other, more eldritch traits. The Black Goat enjoins those who seek them for power to "live deliciously," to pursue hedonistic excess as a path to power, and to embrace every facet of fecundity available to them. It is thought the Black Goat may have had ties of some kind to the old European witchcraft cults.
