Cursed gold – The poison that seduces

Gold is everywhere. It fascinates. It reassures. It is incorruptible. But it is also the source of many mythical curses:

Gold is life captured, frozen, exchanged—to the point of becoming sterile.

All myths are in agreement on one point:

Gold becomes even more dangerous when it is lent with interest. Because one then demands the return of more life than what was given. This model is a form of economic witchcraft: it generates debt, suffering, domination. Even monotheistic traditions forbade usury at their inception: that is how evident the lethality of this principle was to everyone.
