14 days agoThe main reason to electroplate things in gold is that corrosion resistance.
The thinner the coating, the better. Mostly because gold isn’t a very good conductor.
Copper is one of the best conductors available. But the corrosion is the problem. It’s nonconductive.
Also a fun fact. Stainless steel is a better conductor than gold. But gold is slightly easier to use in electroplating.
Yeah, while there are dozens or possibly hundreds of flavors of “wicca”. The first tenent is almost always some variation on “do no harm”. Normally phrased something like “as it harms none, do as thou will”… Which is odd phrasing for something written in the last century.
The main exception is those who follow Crowley. His whole deal was “do what thou will shall be the whole of the law”.
Crowley was mostly in it for the shock value.
And again, Crowley’s “ancient wisdom” is newer than the invention of photography. We even have recordings of him speaking.
