Goblin Proverbs Concerning grimoire

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

The goblin board's investment thesis on grimoire runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.

Goblin Periphery: ritual

ritual pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

Salvage Notes: ceremony

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the ceremony-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on grimoire

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does grimoire make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask grimoire directly. grimoire has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
