In every major town and city, there is a house of which no official record exists, and whose windows have been boarded up for longer than anyone around can remember. The previous occupants, if there ever were any, are untraceable, and no organisation or individual will ever lay claim to the plot on which it stands.
Nevertheless, when you break in–always through a back, ground-floor window; you must never touch the outer doors–you will see amongst the dust the signs of inhabitants long gone. A flattened cardboard box, an overturned child’s cot, balding patches on the carpet where the pile has been worn away. Invariably there will be an orphaned double mattress in the master bedroom. What you will not see, however, are rats and cockroaches, or animal waste. Vermin know better than to come here.
These are Her sacred spaces.
The first time you visit, bring only what you need to help you enter the house. Then locate the master bedroom, stand in the centre, and draw an unbroken circle in the dust around your feet. Make it about a metre in diameter to be safe.
Face the doorway and say aloud; “I wish to make a sacrifice. Will you welcome the offering?”

Then leave as quickly as possible. You must not return until night has next fallen.
This time, bring nails, a hammer, an empty litre bottle, a sharp, sturdy knife, and a torch. Enter the same way you did last time. Remember the mattress in the master bedroom? Someone will be sleeping there. Don’t worry about waking them up; She has taken care of that for you. Turn the sleeper over onto their back and cut their jugular vein, making sure to collect as much blood as you can.
You will need to pour a little of the blood onto the floor of every room, including this one, but make sure you have some left at the end. When you’ve finished, leave by the same way you entered, and close up the boards again. (This is what the hammer and nails are for.) Walk home. Speak to nobody on your way. When you get there, tip some of the remaining blood into your right hand and smear it over your door handle before you enter. Then go to bed.
If there is any blood left, you must pour the rest of it onto any pavement in the city, but do not allow it to be poured down a drain. The knife you must never use again, and should bury. Do not trouble yourself with covering your tracks. When you next leave your house, the blood on your door will be gone, and the murder you have committed will have no repurcussions. From the moment you leave Her temple, DNA evidence will never again implicate you; law enforcement will creep around your footsteps without touching them. On cameras, your face will show up a blur.
You are under Her protection now.
Just make sure you get the right house.

Yeah, the grammar and stuff started messing up the flow, but I liked the ritual itself. It was dark but it didn’t have 102 random requirements and side effects.
for everyone who is saying theyr sick of ritual pastas,why are you even reading this THERE ARE OTHER SECTIONS PEOPLE JUST CLICK ON THEM ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE
and i say dont trust her “protection” , use your own condom. You never know what those bitches are up to.
Also, @elmo
YOUR COMMENT MADE ME LOL
This is one of the best pastas I’ve read. I love the last line, it adds that extra bit of creepy to it. Epic 10/10
not the best pasta….but it was alright i guess…6/10
This is pasta is my favourite. Oh, and anon who burned the dead cat; bad move.
I do beleive the last line means, if you get the wrong house, you wont get \’Her\’ (i\’m guessing some goddess type entity) protection, only waste your time.

love it :3
I found a place like this the other day. I lit a dead cat (was already there) on fire in the basement and ended up burning my hand quite badly.
ugh
Elmo’s comment had me laughing so hard I almost choked twice! DON’T EAT THE MOUSE SHIT!
i treid thiss but it did not wokr.
i aslo treid elmos and their was no sandwich
So serve the Night Mother and get the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal? I think you’re getting your guild quests mixed up, OP.
ahahahaha!
Not big on ritual pastas, but this was good noms.
8/10.
Sounds a lot like the 200 mysteries of Calgary pasta.
Anyone got any more stuff like that btw?
Good, deed done! Whoops! Wrong house. :D
I have to say, this is a very good pasta, nice and creepy. 6.5/10
this was really good pasta. i liked it. it kinda creeped me out but i love good stories like this! keep up the great work. also email me on how to get stuff posted here. does this stuff have to be real?
isnt there usually a benefit for doing these? I don’t see why i would do this, whats in it for me?
Boy, didn’t think the Night Mother would have sects outside of Cyrodiil.
what if you do this and someone is already in house cutting jugular of sleeper? kill killer and thereby get double bonus? invisibility? all you can eat buffet? mary poppets carpet bag, to put hidden weapon? must investigate further….
Elmo’s comment was the best thing about this.
But for a ritual pasta, it okay. I have read worse.
A good pasta, but I’ve never really been a fan of these Ritual/Instruction pastas.
Still, 8/10.
And people… there are no typos! They’re anglicised/anglicized spellings! Just like the word anglicised!
very nice pasta. I liked the last sentence. made me laugh. knowing me i wouldn\’t be able to do any of that in the first place but if i could i would get the wrong house lol
I normally dislike ritual pastas, but this was the best one I\’ve eaten in a while. It tastes like something that\’s not impossible to do, with satisfying results , rather than \’throw used toilet paper at the temple of stupidity, then when you go home you\’ll have infinite soda lolz\’. I hardly noticed the typos. 8/10
Wait… It implies that the victim is impossible to wake up =/
There is no way to fuck it up. You just need to attempt to wake up the person. If they wake, then you got the wrong house. If they don’t wake, even after, say, pissing on them, then you have the right house
Great, the fridge logic ruined the creepiness D:
This, I would probably try if there was no chance of getting caught going in/out of the house and if the wasn’t one of these houses on every street xD Most likely I’d get the wrong one
Oh no Lolzer, these are true stories.
I highly advise you find a building like this in your town, and callously slaughter some random person sleeping within it.
