Many of the symbolic meanings for the color gold are universal. Gold is highly valued in every culture on Earth. Its value does not lie solely in its use as a unit of monetary exchange. Rather, it is universally symbolic of our creator. It has been for millenia.
When Gold is symbolic of the creator, it is a Feminine Lunar Symbol. However, when gold is symbolic of light and the sun, it is a Masculine Solar Symbol.
What is interesting about gold is the fact that it did not originate on our planet. The Earth was pelted with gold fragments at some time during its existence. That is why we find gold in so many locations on our planet. It is almost as if these gold fragments were a gift from our creator and we sensed it very early on in our development as human beings.
The legend of the alchemist’s quest to turn common metals into gold was not motivated by its monetary value. It was a quest to change low-vibrating qualities like greed, hate and selfishness into high-vibrating qualities like love, virtue and compassion through the process of self-purification. They were hoping to speed up the process by discovering a secret ingredient that could be used as a shortcut. This defined gold as symbolic of the transition of the soul from imperfection to perfection.
You will find gold used in many religious ceremonies, garments and artifacts. This is a direct symbolic use for gold as the color of our creator. The belief here is that the use of gold attracts the gold energy that our creator sends to us.
In some belief systems, the color of the Crown Chakra is gold. Here gold represents the spiritual wisdom that is constantly beamed down to us by our creator. The energy in that channel of communication is gold in color.
Gold is also symbolic of Heaven, divination, great fortune, universal fraternity, radiance, wisdom, clarity, virtue and light.
Gold or gold-colored objects are used in rituals to attract wealth. In meditation it is used to channel or verify the flow of spiritual wisdom. This is easily done by visualizing the Crown Chakra as gold-colored during a meditation. I do this quite often when I guide my clients through the meditation process.
When I see gold in a psychic vision for my clients during a psychic reading it can have a lot of interpretations. If I see a person in gold I know that they are one of the following:
- very spiritual
- getting ready to move to a higher level of spirituality
- going to make a lot of money
- mentally positive
- emotionally positive
- spiritually positive
- financially positive
We’re not done yet with the Symbolic Meaning of Colors! We have 2 more to go.
