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 Stone
|
||
|
||
Pyrite is iron and sulphur crystallised into a metallic brass-gold so convincing it has fooled prospectors for centuries, earning the nickname “fool’s gold.” But nature outdoes the goldsmith here: pyrite grows in astonishing forms — flawless cubes with faces so flat and edges so sharp they look machined, or radiant clusters of glinting facets. Its lustre is a hard, mirror-bright metallic shine, cooler and greyer than true gold, and struck against steel it throws sparks, which is how it got its name from the Greek for fire.
|
||
|
||
There is a satisfying solidity to it. The cubes especially feel like objects from another order of reality — as though the earth had decided to do geometry, and show off while it was at it.

## Properties
|
||
|
||
Pyrite is the stone of abundance and willpower — a magnet for prosperity and the drive to earn it. Its golden fire feeds the solar plexus, kindling confidence, ambition, and the momentum to see a thing through. It is turned to for wealth in the practical sense: not luck falling from the sky but the energy, focus and self-belief to build. It is also strongly protective, a reflective shield that turns negativity and ill intent back on itself, guarding the wearer’s energy while they work.
|
||
|
||
## In Practice
|
||
|
||
It is often kept in the workspace, the cash drawer or the wealth corner of a home as a talisman for prosperity and productive effort. Held over the solar plexus in meditation, it stokes willpower and burns off self-doubt before a demanding task. Because its iron content will rust and its sulphur dislikes damp, it is kept dry and cleansed by non-water means.
