COLOR MAGIC 101:
Magic itself is the use of sacred connections between numbers, planetary alignment, signs of the zodiac, moon phases, days of the week, herbs, colors, hours of the day, and many other ordinary facets of life that seem unrelated to regular people. Magic is the intentional layering of these connections to harness energy for a purpose.
Color magic is the process of using color intentionally to raise vibrations of sacred spaces or items. Each color has a different vibrational energy that impacts mood, thoughts, feelings and more in ritual and in daily life. In some traditions the colors may differ somewhat from this list. Keep in mind, the possibilities are limited only by your own imagination.
If you’re new to this concept, start from the beginning for a brief introduction to this foundational part magic. There are many ways to use color in magic. Here are just a few examples:
- You can choose candles or incense burner sand in colors associated with the intent of your spell or ritual.
- You can write spells, incantations, talismans, and sigils using ink or colored pencils in colors corresponding to the magic you are working.
- When meditating, you can envision yourself surrounded by light in a color associated with your purpose.
- You can add food coloring to the water in a ritual bath.
- You can wear garments having colors corresponding to the desired intention.
