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.

Bathin
“He carries a man swiftly from one country to another.”
The Spirit
Bathin is the eighteenth spirit of the Ars Goetia, a mighty and strong Duke of the infernal hierarchy. The grimoire pictures him as a figure of masculine strength appearing with the tail of a serpent, and — in a detail characteristic of the more theatrical entries of the Lesser Key — riding upon a pale-coloured horse. This mounted, half-serpentine form gives Bathin an aspect of restless motion, fitting for a spirit whose chief power concerns travel and transport across great distances.
His serpent’s tail links him iconographically to the many reptilian spirits of the tradition, while the horse beneath him underscores speed and the crossing of ground. He is a spirit of thresholds and passages, both geographic and vegetable.
Office
The Goetia attributes to Bathin a knowledge of the virtues of herbs and of precious stones, a lore of the natural world and its hidden properties. His most emphasised office, however, is that of conveyance: he is said to be able to carry a man suddenly from one country to another, transporting the operator across vast distances in an instant — a power that places him among the spirits of translocation within the grimoire.
