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.

Decarabia
He knows the virtue hidden in every stone and the secret of every bird.
The Spirit
Decarabia — sometimes written Carabia — is the sixty-ninth spirit of the Ars Goetia and a Marquis. He appears at first not as a beast or a man but as a star within a pentagram, a purely geometric manifestation unusual among the seventy-two, and only afterward, at the conjurer's command, does he take on the likeness of a man. This abstract first form suits a spirit whose knowledge is of the hidden properties woven into the natural world.
His province is the lore of herbs, stones, and birds — the medieval science of natural virtues, in which every created thing was thought to carry a particular occult power. Decarabia is the master of these correspondences, and the tradition remembers him as a naturalist among spirits, one whose gift is the reading of the secret qualities of things.
Office
The Ars Goetia records that Decarabia knows the virtues of all herbs and precious stones, and can make the likeness of all manner of birds to fly before the conjurer, so that they sing and drink as natural birds do. His office is thus the disclosure of natural power — the hidden efficacy of plants and gems — together with the conjuring of these lifelike birds, which come and go at his command and serve as familiars to the one who has summoned him.
