Leg postures in tdm.

MR GREEN

Can anyone help me with an understanding of the leg positions on cards 1V,X11, and XX. They have I believe some hidden meanings. ps. is there any French websites that may help. Thanks...Clive

The crossed legs of the emperor are discussed at length in Van Rijnberk's book on the tarot

Daleth abba
The male god (abba) is born out of the female principle ( daleth).

May b the tarot (marseille) creators promoted the female principle in a malen dominant world at that time.
