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.

Menadel

“The steady hand keeps its place and its bread.”


The Angel

Menadel is rendered “the Adorable God” or “God the honourable,” a name of worth and constancy, closed with the suffix -el, “God.” Its virtue attaches to the dignity of labour and the honour of remaining faithfully at one's post, and so it is counted among the angels most concerned with the ordinary sustaining work by which a life is held together.

Governing the final pentad of Virgo, from twenty-five to thirty degrees, Menadel presides over vocation, employment, and the retention of one's station. Its classical office is to help a worker keep their place, to recall exiles and the absent to their homes, and to free those bound in servitude or unjust captivity; equally it is invoked to recover lost objects and to learn the truth about those far away. The virtue it bestows is steadfastness in work — the love of one's calling, diligence without ambition's fever, and the quiet honour of duty well kept. Under its influence the anxious labourer is settled, the wanderer is drawn home, and the bonds of unjust confinement are loosened. It is called upon by those who fear the loss of their livelihood, by the homesick and the exiled, and by any who would be restored to their rightful place. Comparative practice pairs Menadel with the Goetic prince Stolas, teacher of astronomy and the virtues of herbs and precious stones; where Stolas imparts the secret knowledge of nature, Menadel imparts the faithful constancy that puts such knowledge to honest and enduring use.
