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.

Eyael

“Delight is the oldest of the sciences.”


The Angel

Eyael opens the sign of Pisces, and its name is traditionally translated God, the delight of the children of men — a joining of a root of joy and gladness to the divine suffix -el. It is the angel of consolation and of the higher pleasures, the intelligence that finds in study, contemplation, and the changing of the times a source of enduring gladness rather than mere distraction. Eyael governs sublime knowledge, the mystical sciences, and the serene understanding that comes to those who have learned to take comfort in the turning of the ages rather than to fear it.

The virtue Eyael bestows is consolation deepening into wisdom, and with it a promise of longevity — the tradition holds that those under its governance are granted length of days and a mind that ripens rather than decays. It favours the philosopher who studies for delight and the mystic who reads the hidden order of things, granting equanimity in the face of loss and change. To be consoled by Eyael is not to be distracted from grief but to be lifted above it into a wider view, where the delights of understanding outlast the sorrows that occasioned the search. Fittingly for the first degrees of Pisces, Eyael turns the soul toward the sublime and teaches it to find sweetness in the depths.
