Color Correspondences
(Want to go straight to the correspondences? Click here.)
We've all heard that colors affect us on an emotional and psychological level, but did you know that the colors you use in your magick can have an effect as well?
Colors are a manifestation of specific energetic vibration. Our interpretation of these vibrations help us tune into specific energies based usually on how we were brought up. For example, in America, red could mean anger, stop, love, passion, etc. In Asia however, red is usually the color of luck and prosperity. However we interpret a color, it's one aspect of magick that helps us focus on a specific intention and raise the corresponding energy.
How to use Color Correspondences
Below you'll see two different ways that you can look up color correspondences, by color of course, but also by purpose. You can incorporate color into your magick rituals by using colored candles, a colored piece of cloth or paper on your altar or somewhere in your sacred space, paint, colored light - whatever you like. Just be safe and make sure that flammable objects are far from any flame you might be using in your magick.
