So...Coil and goats?

Hi, I've been a Coil listener for ten years. Hugely personal band to me. One thing that I've been wondering about for a while is the appearance of goats throughout their work. Right off the top of my head I can think of The Remote Viewer's artwork, references in Black Antlers, as well as the 18 tracks titled Tunnel Of Goats off of Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil. I'm sure there's more I'm missing.

Was curious to know if anyone had any speculation on the thematic significance, potential references, and concepts they may have been thinking about or evoking. What do the goats mean?? Does it even matter??
