Introduction
This card of abundance represents the harvest home, enrichment, and new opportunity. It is the physical manifestation of security and comfort that comes with success in the sphere of labor—these are the potentials contained within the Ace of Coins.
Encouragement
It is up to us to work hard towards our goals, to stay the course, to reach out and grab the rewards. So instead of one hand holding out the coin, as is traditional in most representations of the cards, the coin in my Ace is fully cradled with two arms to encourage the querent in their pursuit of the Ace’s bounty.
Cultural Symbolism
A celiac friend of mine joked that she didn’t like the choice of wheat as a decorative element in the illustration. And I hear her point—wheat is not a friend to all. But historically, its cultural significance and symbolism are impossible to ignore or deny, especially in the Western world.
Personal and Cultural Insight
In Russia, where I come from, bread was and is life, a staple of our diet, and a touchstone around which community revolved. It is tradition to greet newcomers with a fresh loaf as a gesture of hospitality, and to break bread with them in goodwill. So, sheaves of wheat decorate the coins in my suit, and stalks of it appear in the cards throughout the Suit to symbolize all that the Coins stand for: wealth, abundance, the harvest, fulfillment, satiation, or the need for or absence of those things.
