Pyrite's folk career runs on the joke in its nickname: fool's gold, the glittering mineral whose office has always been guarding real gold's interests. Cunningham gives it proper classical papers, seating it under Mars and the element of Fire, and the tradition works it for money and protection together, the stone you keep where wealth is meant to arrive and then stay put. Tumbled by the pound, it becomes the everyday format of that work: a piece in the pocket through the negotiation, a handful ringing the money candle, a stone in the till or the ledger drawer, a nugget in every charm bag the prosperity season produces. Mars lends it vigor rather than gentleness, which suits money work honestly; wealth, in the folk understanding, is something you guard as well as invite.
