Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes, 67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer. - scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault: slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion list plus a privacy guard. - tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other pages get a Related Knowledge block. - Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

## The Spirit
|
|
|
|
Asmoday — better known outside the grimoires as Asmodeus — is the thirty-second spirit of the Ars Goetia and one of its most formidable figures, a Great King with roots reaching far deeper than the medieval demonologies. The name descends from the Aeshma of Zoroastrian tradition and passes through the Book of Tobit, where Asmodeus is the demon of lust who slays the bridegrooms of Sarah. By the time he enters the Lesser Key of Solomon he has become a spirit of terrible dignity, three-headed and fire-breathing, riding upon a hellish dragon with a lance and banner in hand. His three heads are given as those of a bull, a man, and a ram — beasts of lust and stubborn power — and his feet are webbed like a goose.

|
|
|
The Goetia is emphatic that he must be approached bareheaded and with reverence, for he is the strong and powerful king who guards the way to hidden treasure.

## Office
|
|
|
|
The Goetia says Asmoday gives the ring of virtues, teaches the arts of arithmetic, astronomy, geometry, and all handicrafts. He answers truly and fully any question put to him, can make a man invisible, and reveals the location of guarded treasures. He is said to govern seventy-two legions of inferior spirits.
