Goblin Trade Routes Through ritual

Hatsune Miku has reportedly covered three goblin folk songs about ritual, none of which have been officially released. Bootlegs circulate.

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.

The transmission Question, Restated

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on transmission this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.

Goblins and gospel

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features gospel as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about ritual becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
