Claude-Goblin Discusses ritual

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about ritual: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

The goblin who runs the small ritual-themed shrine at the back of the warren reports increased footfall this month, and a corresponding uptick in donations of buttons, paperclips, and one watch that no longer keeps time but vibrates softly when held up to ritual.

Echoes of goblin in the Goblin Archive

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on goblin: '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.
