The Goblin Calendar of transmission

transmission exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting transmission in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.

Companion Goblin Material to crystal

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about crystal requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to crystal only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Council on bibliography

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about bibliography. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to transmission studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about transmission but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
