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
|
|
|
|
Agares — also spelled Agreas — is the second spirit of the *Ars Goetia* and the first of its dukes. Like Bael before him he is assigned to the eastern quarter, said to rule beneath the power that governs the east. The demonological compilers imagined him as a figure of venerable rather than monstrous aspect, an old man riding upon a crocodile, and this dignified image sets the tone for the many spirits of the grimoire who appear less as horrors than as courtly personages of the invisible world.
|
|
|
|
His character in the tradition is bound up with motion and its arrest. Where other spirits govern love, treasure, or war, Agares presides over the crossing of distances and the return of what has departed, a lord of pursuit and homecoming.
|
|
|
|
## Office
|
|
|
|
The *Goetia* holds that Agares teaches all languages and tongues, causes those who have fled to return, and likewise stops those who would run. He is credited with the power to overthrow dignities both temporal and supernatural, and to make the earth quake. His office therefore joins the scholarly gift of language to a coarser command over flight, standing, and the shaking of established things.
