Using Color In Magik
- The Significance Of Color
- Think of your magik as a way of joining forces with the energy
in nature. All energy vibrates with it's own sound or frequency,
and it's own color. You want to compliment natures energy with
your own, and with your choice of tools to represent the energy
you are attempting to create. But how do you know what color
goes with what energy? Like all things, it depends on how you
want to approach or utilize the energy.
-
- You can chose colors based on energy, on the chakra system,
or your personal symbology. For instance, some people make associations
based on culture or society. A good example of this is the use
of color when associated with money or finances. Here in the
U.S., we would associate green with money and finances. But in
other countries that might not make sense as not everyone in
the world has green currency.
-
- I strongly recommend you write down your correspondences
and keep them up to date. You want to create a consistency with
your workings and maintain a balance. There will always be changes,
but that's expected as you live, grow and learn.
-
- Within my tradition, we use a color table based on the chakra system.

- A Color Table
- Below is a table of the varying ways to look at or represent
color in your magikal exercises. This is just a guide based on
our view, so don't take this as the only way to represent color
in your magikal exercises. Research and practice for ourself
to find the best combination for you.

Lighter blues generally indicate a beginning of a spiritual quest,
a journey that will fill the 'missing' pieces of ones current
existence.
Darker blues are typically used when one has their spiritual
path and is continuing their education. |
Pink |

Goddess. |
Different cultures represent love or the heart with different
colors; a common American color would be pink for love or red
for matters of the heart. |
Black |
For overcoming hatred, negativity, depression and miserly. If
used in a ritual for undoing, you can create energies to reverse
these emotions. |
For undoing a spell that has been cast upon you, for creating
confusion or stress (please remember what you put out you
will get back. We only conduct spells of undoing when we're
working a case with the police. We ask for confusion and stress
within the body and mind of the criminal who the police are trying
to capture. In this way, we hope the criminal will make a mistake
in their actions that will help the police find the evidence,
clues and information needed for an arrest and conviction.) |
