What She Wrote About Our Tarot Coins?

In her review, Wen praised our Tarot Coin Collection for its craftsmanship, symbolic depth, and artistic vision. She highlighted how each coin captures the essence of the tarot archetypes in a fresh yet faithful way.

She also noted that the tactile quality and thoughtful design make the coins not just collectible objects, but powerful tools for meditation, intention work, and personal ritual.
Her words truly mean a lot to us - coming from someone with such expertise, passion, and integrity within the tarot community.

She Used Her Own Original Reading Method With Our Tarot Coins!

In her review, Wen wrote that tarot coins are perfect for practitioners who enjoy ritualistic tools, physical objects, and tactile methods of divination. She highlighted how satisfying it feels to turn the coins over on the specially designed board during a reading.

Wen then shared the custom spread she developed for working with our coins — a richly symbolic layout that combines astrology, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, elemental theory, and a “as above, so below” interpretive structure.

Below is a breakdown of her method, as described in her review:

---

1. The Outer Ring — The 12 Astrological Houses

The twelve outer slots correspond to the twelve houses of the horoscope wheel.
Wen also uses the four quadrants to highlight the four angles:

• Ascendant

• Descendant

• Imum Coeli (IC)

• Midheaven (MC)

These placements allow the coins to reveal how energies flow through life areas such as identity, relationships, home, and career.

---

2. The Four Center Coins — The Four Kabbalistic Worlds

The central row of four coins (read from right to left) represents the Four Kabbalistic Worlds:

• Atziluth - Fire

• Briah - Water

• Yetzirah - Air

• Assiah - Earth

Wen interprets each center coin primarily through its elemental correspondences, revealing deeper forces at work.

---

3. “As Above, So Below” — Three Mirrored Pairs

Surrounding the center are three pairs of coins arranged vertically.
Each pair expresses:

• Above - superconscious, divine, spiritual forces

• Below - subconscious, material, earthly influences

The top coin shows what exists in Spirit; the bottom coin shows how this energy manifests in real-world circumstances.

Examples From Her Demonstration Reading

Wen illustrated her method using several coins:

• The Moon placed at the Ascendant indicates a time of flux, emotional uncertainty, and difficulty making decisions due to lack of clarity.

• The Emperor at the Midheaven signals rising authority, mastery, and career advancement.

• Strength in the IC and The Hierophant in the Descendant reinforce a stable foundation and supportive relationships, strengthening the positive outlook.

• The Fool in the Atziluth position suggests unmanifested potential and pure creative power ready to emerge.

• Death in the Air (“V”) position points to transformation in the social sphere — often social media, public presence, or networking — marking the end of one era and the beginning of another.

For the “As Above, So Below” pairs, she gave a striking example:

• The Hanged Man (Above) mirrors Temperance (Below): spiritual surrender, perspective shifts, and suspension on the higher plane translate into real-world moderation, healing, and recalibration.

• Meanwhile, The Devil in the same row adds a layer of subterranean intensity, pointing to deep-rooted influences shaping the current situation.
