So, I wanted to create a variant human ranger and I picked the Feat Shadow Touched. Only problem is, I'm suppose to be able to pick a cantrip that is illusion or necromancy. However, Rangers do not have illusion or necromancy cantrips, so its not letting me pick a cantrip for Shadow Touched. Is there a way I can add an illusion or necromancy cantrip to my Shadow Touched Ranger?
It doesn't allow 1st level spells that are not Ranger spells, and Rangers do not have any illusion or necromancy 1st level spells. Do I just lose that ability?
I think you're looking at a homebrew version of the feat, not the actual feat. The feat does not grant cantrips, and you're not picking from the Ranger spell list, you're picking from all 1st level spells in those schools.
Okay, I got that it doesn't grant cantrips. It does grant one 1st level spell of illusion and necromancy. How do I add a spell from those schools? As far as I can see, at first level it only lets me have invisibility and tells me I can not add spells. If I move to 2nd level, it only allows Ranger spells.

Shadow Touched doesn't grant you cantrips, it grants 1st-level spells. To pick a cantrip, you'd want some form of magic initiate.
