Cardinal Knowledge

Yes that’s definitely Cardinal…
Cardinal Knowledge is a list of time honoured wisdoms that I’ve collected over the years. These have served me well as a cheat sheet to refer to when I need some direction.

Origin story. What’s in a name? Cardinal Knowledge? As my ‘Navigator Theme’ develops I’m compiling everything I’ve learned over time into a guide that may be useful to anyone on their journey / mission. As a navigator knowing your cardinal points is fundamental, hence the name.

Here’s the first prototype of the collection, it will evolve.
