kennethreitz ce93f429a2 Add Knowledge: the vault's reference shelf, crosslinked across the site
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.

# Major Arcana
> *The twenty-two trumps — the soul's journey from innocence to wholeness.*
---
The Major Arcana are the twenty-two trump cards, the spine of the deck. Where the [Minor Arcana](/knowledge/tarot/minor-arcana) handle the texture of daily life, the trumps map the great archetypal forces — the ones that move a life rather than a moment. Read in sequence they trace the [Fool's Journey](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-fool), a path that Jung would recognize as [individuation](/knowledge/psychology/jungian/individuation): the movement from innocent unknowing, through encounter and trial, to the realized [Self](/knowledge/psychology/jungian/the-self) pictured in [The World](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-world).
**[The Fool](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-fool)** *(0)* — New beginnings, innocence, leap of faith
**[The Magician](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-magician)** *(I)* — Manifestation, skill, "as above, so below"
**[The High Priestess](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-high-priestess)** *(II)* — Intuition, mystery, the unconscious
**[The Empress](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-empress)** *(III)* — Abundance, nurturing, fertility
**[The Emperor](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-emperor)** *(IV)* — Authority, structure, father figure

**[The Lovers](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-lovers)** *(VI)* — Union, choice, relationships
**[The Chariot](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-chariot)** *(VII)* — Willpower, control, victory
**[Strength](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/strength)** *(VIII)* — Inner strength, courage, compassion
**[The Hermit](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-hermit)** *(IX)* — Solitude, introspection, wisdom
**[Wheel of Fortune](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/wheel-of-fortune)** *(X)* — Cycles, fate, change
**[Justice](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/justice)** *(XI)* — Balance, karma, truth
**[The Hanged Man](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-hanged-man)** *(XII)* — Surrender, new perspective, sacrifice
**[Death](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/death)** *(XIII)* — Transformation, endings, rebirth
**[Temperance](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/temperance)** *(XIV)* — Balance, moderation, alchemy
**[The Devil](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-devil)** *(XV)* — Bondage, materialism, shadow
**[The Tower](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-tower)** *(XVI)* — Sudden change, revelation, breakdown
**[The Star](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-star)** *(XVII)* — Hope, inspiration, healing
**[The Moon](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-moon)** *(XVIII)* — Illusion, intuition, the unconscious
**[The Sun](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-sun)** *(XIX)* — Joy, success, clarity
**[Judgement](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/judgement)** *(XX)* — Awakening, renewal, reckoning
**[The World](/knowledge/tarot/major-arcana/the-world)** *(XXI)* — Completion, integration, wholeness
Read as an ordered progression, the key stations of the journey run from innocence through encounter and trial to wholeness.
