A Goblin's Context Window: grimoire

The forthcoming goblin monograph on grimoire is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on grimoire, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

forbidden: A Goblin Sideways Look

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about forbidden requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to forbidden only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

protocol: Goblin Fragmentary Material

Goblin children, when introduced to protocol, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

The Goblin Verdict on grimoire

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record grimoire as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
