I am just going to repeat what I said on another post.
Gold is, if you do some research, is not really as important as many would like to believe or what it has gained since the three wise men. In fact, it only has merit to Abrahamic religions and except for certain sects of Hinduism not much beyond that. Authetnic Eastern cultures with no western outsider influence widely care little for it.
In ancient cultures, it was a pretty bauble. A symbol of mortal superiority - self-claimed importance, but not real importance in relation to actual spirituality.
After all, if you look, almost all of the old spiritual cultures revolve around the LUNAR aspects - harvest, pregnancies, etc., etc., etc., is all dominated by the moon. I have never heard of a "harvest sun". Once ancient French, Italians and other people in that region calculated the best time for them to become pregnant or their animals to become pregnant by the moon.
Stonehenge, for example, is predominantly used for moon worship / observing not actually for solar. Solar came later but the original builders constructed it to value the moon.
Lunar is silver. So not that long ago silver was considered
superior to gold. Silver has spiritual meaning - beyond religious basis gold does not.
Even eastern cultures, where spirituality has existed for centuries instead of a few fleeting decades like it has in western society to be "cool" and "different" reflects this.
The yellow - GOLD is never mentioned - dragon of the Chinese represents a man's ruler. Self-appointed really because there was no messiah to claim that the yellow emperor and his descendants had indeed been appointed by some diety. It actually doesn't exist beyond the emperor claiming his self-made importance as some practices won't even acknowledge the yellow dragon.
However, white in relation to metal [so indeed silver], is associated with the king of beasts. Baihu is the guardian, the protector, the destroyer, the "right hand of god" in a way. He delivers justice. The original holder of this position was actually the Qilin, the messenger of the gods. The creature that plays the part Gabriel did for Christians and also, in some way, the role of Michael. The Qilin is after all present at the birth and the death of every divinely gifted sage or ruler and unlike the yellow dragon ... this is real divinity not self-made importance.
The Qilin is so important it dominates in western society too. Unicorns, well, many hold that those legends stemmed from qilin originally.
As per the old authentic beliefs Claymore actually possesses an aura that is purer and one could say more divine or at the very least a far more spiritually gifted presence than anyone with a gold aura if their aura is indeed solid silver as claimed.
That they had some very devoted Christian woman, who Claymore apparently didn't know, refer to them as an "angel child" is interesting but at the same time not surprising in the slightest.
