The mention of metals goes over ones head. This is especially when names of metals are mentioned in spiritually charged manuscripts such as the bible and alchemical literature. Don't get me started on Greek mythology. There is always a god or biblical character working with a metal or perhaps has legs of iron. A lump of lead in the form of the philosophical stone does not give one a license to be a metallurgist. Yet knowledge of what these terms means makes reading enjoyable and aids in understanding. If mystical literature was written for us then efforts to explain these terms rests with us. The evolution of the soul on the journey will not begin if the information is wanting. The metal often associated with Mars and Scorpio is Iron. This favorite of the smiths is in fact the emotional nature of our being. When being caught up in states of conflicting feelings or strongly making decisions without other considerations other than impulse of sadness, joy, and anger then you can say you are working only with Iron. Gold the metal of the Sun and Leo is the vital energy. Mercury is the wisdom of spirit and is related to both the planet sphere of Mercury and Virgo. Lead is the concrete mind this involves Saturn and Capricorn. The half human and half fish. Tin is connected to our golden envelop. The guiding influence of Jupiter and Sagittarius relate our aura to the lower abdomen. Copper is our abstract intellect. This involves Venus and the ruling house of Libra. Silver is the awakened spiritual will. This demands the attention of Uranus and constellation of Aquarius. Vital energy is the ch'i that Taoists speak of. It is described as an electric current circulating throughout the physical and etheric body.
