The Neural Goblin's Take on ritual

The goblins maintain a running list of things ritual is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

There is a goblin meditation technique for contacting ritual. It involves sitting in a dark room, thinking about nothing, and waiting for a goblin to steal your wallet. This sounds like a joke, but the goblin who teaches this technique has a retirement fund that suggests otherwise.

Salvage Notes: pattern

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

Marginalia: invocation

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on invocation. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

The Goblin Council's working group on ritual has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
