The point is, perhaps, that there are ways and ways of passing round the Outer Circle (ref circles or spirals, above: the fundamental division, in Tarot (78-card pack) terms, being (in this view) between the Knight and the Knave. Let us say that the Kings pass (or are)* within the line of the Inner Circle; the Queens pass in the same direction without (i.e. just outside) or along the line of the Inner Circle (in the Greater Trumps, the female influence increases on the Outer Circle from XI-Fortitude, at Fragmentation, to** XIII-Death, at Simplification; and XIV-Temperance, at Love, marks the point where female and male set out in balance on the inner circle: so possibly the Knight accompanies the Queen, but not for Tarot symbolic purposes: she leads.

The Knights pass in the contrary direction*** within the line of the Outer Circle; the Knaves pass (or are?)**** along or just outside the line of the Outer Circle, in the same Outer Circle direction#* as the Knights.

Possibly cards 10 – 1 of each Suit (the symbol of each Suit representing the Grail symbol of a Cardinal Quarter) represent lower and lower grades beyond (and probably subject to) the Knaves; although the One being furthest from the Knave, can jump direct to be the Ace, at or just outside the Centre (as in many games the Ace can be worth less than 2 or more than [a] King – I understand!). So the last may be first, and the Postboy higher than the Managing Director. But the Fool#** may be anywhere, the Beginning and the End. (But I digress.) Knaves are not looking inwards – generally speaking – but outwards. #***
