In this episode, we talk about the power of gold—the color of sunlight, harvest, sacred wisdom, and the kind of abundance that’s earned slowly over time. Gold invites you to honor what you’ve built, what you’ve learned, and how you’re shining right now.
What we explore in this episode:
What gold means in color magic and how gold functions as a “solar + harvest” current
How gold connects to seasonal and sabbat correspondences in witchcraft
The way gold shows up symbolically in tarot and oracle imagery
Understanding Gold in Color Magic
Gold is not just “money vibes”—it’s legacy energy. It’s the color of a full grain silo, a well-stocked pantry, the glow of candles on a ritual altar, the golden hour before sunset, the mead of poetry, and the wisdom that comes from living through multiple cycles.
Either way, magically speaking, gold is almost always associated with:
The Sun and solar radiance
Abundance and reward
Harvest and “earned” wealth
Honor, recognition, and prestige
Enlightenment and illumination
Divine inspiration, poetry, and sacred knowledge
Gold is the color of Sunday | Sun: vitality, visibility, confidence, solar magic. Perfect for honoring your life-force, success, and joy.
Gold doesn’t always show up in the simple “one color per planet/day” lists. Think of gold as the color you reach for when you want your magic to be bright, blessed, and built to last. It has strong intuitive ties:
Harvest & gratitude rituals
Long-term prosperity and sustainability (not just quick cash)
Creative recognition, visibility, and sharing your work
Illumination in study, writing, music, and poetry
Solar offerings and working with deities of light, truth, and inspiration
Tarot, Symbolism, and the Power of Gold
Because not every deck can print literal metallic ink, gold symbolism often sneaks in as yellow, wheat, hair, light, mead, or glowing objects. In the decks you mentioned, gold shows up through harvest, hair, vessels, and sacred tools.
Jera | Goddess Sif - Harvest, Reward, Yearly Cycle - Gold here represents earned abundance, patient growth, and the wealth that comes from the land.
Wunjo | Goddess Lofn - Joy, Happiness, Peace - Gold in this card says: "Joy is sacred." Honor the pleasure of simply being.
Kenaz | Goddess Gunnlǫð - Torch, Enlightenment, Passion - Here, gold = inspired fire. It's the glow of candles, the warmth of shared stories, the alchemy of word and song.
Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle
Divination - A figure sits with cards, candles, and what looks like a golden box or gilded deck. Shedding light on what is hidden.
The Witch - Surrounded by abundance and crowned in luminous hair. Gold marks the alchemy of self. Claiming your identity as a witch and standing in the richness of your practice.

💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Botanist (Reversed).
The Botanist is usually the one who studies, nurtures, and understands growth—a caretaker of plants, cycles, and ecosystems. In reverse, this card suggests that you might be hovering, managing, or “fixing” others in a way that creates stress for them and for you.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where am I trying to micromanage someone else’s growth instead of trusting their path?
What would it look like to offer support without control?
Where can I turn that golden, nurturing energy back toward my body, my home, or my projects?
