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.

# Sitael
> *“Every cathedral begins as a single stone set true.”*

## The Angel
Sitael carries the meaning *God of Hope* — the *-el* suffix here anchoring the forward-leaning virtue of hope in the immovable ground of the divine. It is the third angel of Aries, governing the degrees from ten to fifteen, and its office is construction in the fullest sense: the building of things meant to endure, whether stone, institution, or character. The tradition associates it with nobility of soul and with magnanimity, the largeness of heart that keeps promises and honours obligations.
To invoke Sitael is to petition for protection against adversity and against the weapons of the wicked, for the angel is said to shield those engaged in honest labour and to raise them by degrees toward high estate. It confers frankness, generosity, and a love of truth that recoils from deceit. Under its guidance ambition ceases to be mere hunger and becomes instead the patient laying of foundations. Sitael answers the Goetic prince [Vassago](/knowledge/angels-and-demons/ars-goetia/vassago), whose gift for discovering the hidden and declaring things past and to come is, in the angelic key, turned toward the surer knowledge of what ought to be built and how it will stand.
