kennethreitz ce93f429a2 Add Knowledge: the vault's reference shelf, crosslinked across the site
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.

Ipos

“He knows the things to come, and makes men bold and witty.”


The Spirit

Ipos — variously spelled Ipes or Aypeos — is the twenty-second spirit of the Ars Goetia, named in the tradition as both an Earl and a mighty Prince. The grimoire gives him one of the more grotesque of the Goetic forms: he appears as an angel with the body or head of a lion, the feet and tail of a hare or goose, and the head of a lion — a composite creature assembled from disparate beasts. Some manuscripts describe him in the likeness of a fierce angel, ugly to look upon, which the operator must nonetheless command with steadiness.

This patchwork of animal parts places Ipos among the most visually singular spirits of the Lesser Key, and the tradition treats his ungainly aspect as no bar to the useful gifts he confers.

Office

The Goetia holds that Ipos knows things past and to come, granting a prophetic reach across time. His more distinctive office lies in the shaping of character: he is said to make men witty and bold, sharpening the intellect and fortifying the spirit against timidity. He is thus invoked both for foreknowledge and for the cultivation of confidence and quickness of mind.
