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.

# Table of Correspondences

> *As above, so below — the single grid on which every system in this vault is a different reading.*

This is the vault's own *Liber 777*: the master table that shows how the separate collections — [Tarot](/knowledge/tarot), [Astrology](/knowledge/astrology), the [Kabbalah](/knowledge/spirituality/kabbalah) and its [Tree of Life](/knowledge/tree-of-life), the [Elements](/knowledge/elements), the [Chakras](/knowledge/chakras), [Alchemy](/knowledge/alchemy), and [Sacred Geometry](/knowledge/sacred-geometry) — are all readings of one structure. A planet is also a metal, a colour, an incense, a god, an archangel, a sphere of the Tree, and a card of the deck; a sign rules a part of the body; even the Chinese [trigrams](/knowledge/religions-of-the-world/taoism) echo the four elements. Read across any row and the whole web lights up.
|
||
|
||
Beneath the many named collections lie three connective spines — the Tree, the planets, and the elements — and every other system reads off one of them:

## The Tree of Life — The Master Glyph
|
||
|
||
Everything below is a table; this is the picture the tables describe. The ten [Sephiroth](/knowledge/tree-of-life) are the numbered circles — each a planet, a metal, a god, an archangel. The twenty-two lines joining them are the paths, and each path is a [Hebrew letter](/knowledge/hebrew-letters) (shown on the line) which is also a [tarot trump](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana). To read a correspondence is to trace a route on this glyph: the Sun (6, Tiphareth) reaches the Moon (9, Yesod) along path ס — Samekh — which is [Temperance](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/temperance). The whole table is this diagram, unfolded into rows.

## The Gemstones
|
||
|
||
Where the four elements are the abstract principles, the stones are those principles fallen all the way into matter — the correspondence web crystallized, each mineral a fixed point where a colour, a chakra, an element, and a planet meet in something you can hold in your hand.

## The Planets
|
||
|
||
The seven classical planets are the hinge of the whole table: each is one identity read seven ways — a wandering light, a metal, a god, an archangel, a sphere on the Tree, and a trump in the deck. Read a planet's row and you are reading a single power under all its names.

## The Zodiac
|
||
|
||
The twelve signs take those same planetary rulers and thread them through the elements and modalities — the wheel is where planet meets element meets season, each sign a specific weather of one of the four principles.

|
||
## The 36 Decans
|
||
|
||
The deepest layer of the table is the one that ties the most systems together at once. Each ten-degree **decan** is simultaneously a third of a sign, a minor-arcana pip card, a planetary ruler, and a pair of [Shem angels](/knowledge/angels-and-demons/shem-ha-mephorash) and [Goetic spirits](/knowledge/angels-and-demons/ars-goetia) — the seventy-two of each filling the seventy-two half-decans exactly. The full thirty-six-row cross-index lives in [The 36 Decans](/knowledge/astrology/the-36-decans).
|
||
|
||
## The Eight Trigrams
|
||
|
||
The one Eastern system that maps cleanly onto the Western elemental grid is the *bagua* of the [I Ching](/knowledge/religions-of-the-world/taoism) (the eight [Trigrams](/knowledge/trigrams)) — eight three-line figures built from broken (yin) and solid (yang) lines, each a natural force and a member of the archetypal family. Where the West works in four elements, the Chinese scheme works in eight images and five phases, but the logic is the same: a small set of principles whose combinations describe everything.
|
||
|
||
| Symbol | Trigram | Image | Attribute | Family | Direction |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| ☰ | [Qian](/knowledge/trigrams/qian) | Heaven | Creative, strong | Father | Northwest |
|
||
| ☷ | [Kun](/knowledge/trigrams/kun) | Earth | Receptive, yielding | Mother | Southwest |
|
||
| ☳ | [Zhen](/knowledge/trigrams/zhen) | Thunder | Arousing, movement | Eldest son | East |
|
||
| ☵ | [Kan](/knowledge/trigrams/kan) | Water | Abysmal, danger | Middle son | North |
|
||
| ☶ | [Gen](/knowledge/trigrams/gen) | Mountain | Keeping still | Youngest son | Northeast |
|
||
| ☴ | [Xun](/knowledge/trigrams/xun) | Wind / Wood | Gentle, penetrating | Eldest daughter | Southeast |
|
||
| ☲ | [Li](/knowledge/trigrams/li) | Fire | Clinging, light | Middle daughter | South |
|
||
| ☱ | [Dui](/knowledge/trigrams/dui) | Lake | Joyous, open | Youngest daughter | West |
|
||
|
||
The directions given are the Later Heaven (King Wen) arrangement, the one used for feng shui and divination. A fuller [Taoist](/knowledge/religions-of-the-world/taoism) treatment — the 64 hexagrams, yin-yang, the five phases — is its own study; here the eight sit as the Eastern echo of the [Elements](/knowledge/elements).
|
||
|
||
## The Sephiroth
|
||
|
||
The Tree of Life is the skeleton the rest of the table hangs on: ten spheres of emanation onto which the planets, the metals, the gods, and the cards all map. Every other system in this vault is, in a sense, a way of walking this structure.

## The Major Arcana & the Paths

## As Above, So Below
|
||
|
||
This table runs on one axiom, the one the epigraph borrows from [the Emerald Tablet](/knowledge/alchemy/the-emerald-tablet) by way of [Hermeticism](/knowledge/spirituality/hermeticism): *as above, so below*. The [Kabbalistic](/knowledge/spirituality/kabbalah) cosmos does not stay singular — it unfolds, sphere into sphere down the [Tree of Life](/knowledge/tree-of-life), the one light differentiating into the many orders. Every row above is a slice of that descent.
|

|

System 777 carries the living counterpart to this grid. Its Personal Angels framework reads the same emanationist logic *inward*: if the macrocosm is structured as a descending host of intelligences — archangels at the cardinal points, and on down — then *as above, so below* holds for the microcosm too, and a single soul carries the same architecture in miniature, its own inner celestial entourage. Where this table maps the orders of the cosmos, that framework maps the daimones of one interior — the [Shekhinah](/knowledge/spirituality/the-shekhinah) in her indwelling aspect, the presence that dwells within rather than beyond.

Held, as that note holds itself, as worldview and meaning — a way of understanding the shape of an inner life — and not as clinical or metaphysical proof. The same correspondence web, read once toward the heavens and once toward home.
