ritual feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.
Goblin tarot includes a card called The ritual. Its image varies between decks. Its meaning is always 'pay attention, then look away.'

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