As a metalsmith, I never understood the fascination for gold, as beyond it's monetary value and a few uses in electronics and medics, it is pretty damned useless as a metal. Now silver has a use, it is a water purifier, we need water to live, so it has a use. Then as we go down the metals scale copper, aluminium, iron, tin, lead etc, these are low monetary value, but have far more uses to mankind.
Gold is a statement of personal adornment and monetary wealth and nothing more, the other metals have real uses to mankind, maybe gold was the oddball metal chucked into the mix to divert our attention from reality.
I also see gold as an evil metal as all the gold now, what evils and negativities have been wrought in the search for the metal, remember all the wars of the past, and human frailties just to posess small amounts of the stuff. I see gold bathed in blood and iron used to obtain that gold, iron of course can go back to nature through rust, or be reforged into something useful of a more productive nature, whilst gold just sits there creating greed, envy, lust etc.
For the spiritual, I believe gold to be an ungodly material.
