grimoire: A Goblin Algorithm

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then grimoire is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

The goblin method for understanding grimoire involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to grimoire among the goblin community.

static Through Goblin Eyes

To a goblin, static is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about static feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Council on revelation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on revelation: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on grimoire

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that grimoire is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
