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 36 Decans

## Overview
|
||
|
||
A **decan** (or *face*) is ten degrees of the zodiac — a third of a sign, so twelve signs give thirty-six decans. The system is ancient Egyptian: thirty-six star-groups that rose about ten days apart, marking off the 360-day year (36 × 10). What makes the decans the master key of the whole [Table of Correspondences](/knowledge/table-of-correspondences) is that almost every other system in this vault keys to them at once.
|
||
|
||
Each decan simultaneously is a third of a [zodiac](/knowledge/astrology) sign, one of the thirty-six minor-arcana pip cards (the [small cards](/knowledge/tarot/minor-arcana), Two through Ten of each suit — 9 pips × 4 suits = 36), the seat of a **Chaldean planetary ruler**, and the domain of a pair of angels and a pair of spirits: the seventy-two [Shem angels](/knowledge/angels-and-demons/shem-ha-mephorash) are thirty-six decans × two (a day angel and a night angel, five degrees each), and the seventy-two spirits of the [Ars Goetia](/knowledge/angels-and-demons/ars-goetia) map the same thirty-six, day and night. So the first ten degrees of Leo is at once the Five of Wands, ruled by Saturn, held by the angels Haziel and Aladiah and the spirits they pair with. Read one row and five collections light up together.
|
||
|
||
The planetary rulers run in **Chaldean order** — Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter — cycling continuously from the first face of Aries. The tarot attributions follow the Golden Dawn's assignment of the small cards to the decans.
|
||
|
||
One decan, read five ways at once — the knot the whole web is tied around:

## How to Read It
|
||
|
||
Take any row as a single knot in the web. Row 13 is the first face of Leo: zero to ten degrees, the [Five of Wands](/knowledge/tarot/minor-arcana/five-of-wands) (strife), ruled by [Saturn](/knowledge/astrology/planets/saturn-astrology) (discipline pressing on fire), and held by the Shem angels of that decan with their paired Goetic spirits. The card's meaning, the sign's fire, the ruler's weight, and the angels' offices are four readings of one ten-degree door. This is what Liber 777 means by a table of correspondences carried all the way down: not a list of separate systems, but a single structure seen from many sides.
|
||
|
||
The day/night split is the *quinance* — each decan divides into two five-degree halves, and the seventy-two angels and seventy-two spirits fill those seventy-two half-decans exactly. The pairing of each [Shem angel](/knowledge/angels-and-demons/shem-ha-mephorash) with its [Goetic spirit](/knowledge/angels-and-demons/ars-goetia) follows the attribution already recorded on each angel's page.
