The following list represents cross-cultural beliefs associated with colours; therefore, you will notice that some colours may have the same associations. For example, blue and black both represent wisdom. Here, black stands for the wisdom of the unknown or what has yet to be learned, and blue is for wisdom of spirit.
WHITE: The Goddess, ancient mother , purity, spirituality, devtional magick, general prayers, illumination, cycle of life, good will, imitiation, feminine mystery, freeedom, love, health, to symbolize a person, place or thing.
BLACK: Return energy to sender, divination, protection, dark goddess, time, chaos, the first stage of working, the begining of creation, North, winter, rebirth, wisdom, the number 8, infinity, destroy bad habits, rest, investigation and combats hyperactivity. Use sparingly. Many practitioners follow the burning of a black candle with the lighting of a white one to bring balance to magickal working.
BLUE-BLACK: Use for wounded pride, for broken bones to knit properly, and angelic protection.
VIOLET: Intelligence, call the ancient ones, create sigils, anything to do with government, truth, justice, humanity, planet Jupiter, religious devotion and forgiveness.
LAVENDER: Peace, serenity, dreaming magick, invoke spirit when in the process of charitable works.
BLUE: Truth, intellegence, wisdom, loyalty, fedelity, protect's ones reputation, peace, meditation,femanine mysteries, water, Great Mother Queen of Heaven, infinity, poetry,faith, planet Venus, to defeat an enemy,and protect hearth, home, and the young. Use with white to create confusion amongst evil.
GREEN: Healing, The Green Man, god or goddess of vegetation and forest, youth, hope, happiness, new beginings, improve the weather, financial gain (with gold and silver), agricultural magick,abundance, prosperity,immortality, spring, the planet Venus and Mercury.
YELLOW: Healing energy of the sun, prosperity, self esteem, intellect, intuition, goodness, humility, beauty, light, life, truth, prosperity, attraction, and the God. Wear some yellow to a job interview to show that you can be trusted ( brown says that you are responsible).
ORANGE: Opportunities, the ability to over come challenges, break blocks, material gain, helps to seal a spell, happiness, luxury, remove feelings of abandonment.
RED: Action, passion, deep affection, courage, fire, masculine principle, festivity, strength, faith, life renewal, joy, summer, active leadership, expansion, the planet Mars.
PINK: Friendship and harmony.
SILVER: Fast money, moon magick, TheCharge of the Goddess, The Goddess, reality, connection to spirit, astral travel,freedom,destroy illusions, restore balance, endurance, star magick,meditation, peace, personal illumination.
GREY: Stabalize a disruptive personality, slow down a reckless person or situation,use in some glamouries. Wear this colour with some green when applying for a loan or asking for a rise.
BROWN/BRONZE: Soothe emotinal upsets, security, support, friendship and nature magick.
In the craft, certain colour combinations reprsent particular ideas. For example, the trio red, white, and black are the alchemical colours of initiation: red for your blood and your lineage ( your personal history), white for the purity of spirit, will, and intention, and black for power, protection, and that which was here at the time of creation, the void. In many traditions, the dedicant ( or seeker) wears white at his or her initiation to indicate that he os she is willing to accept purity and harmony within his or her lifestyle, where those who have begun their training and are working through the levels of advancement provided by the organisation wear black: however, keep in mind that traditions differ. The black, in this case, is to ward off negativity. Black also represents authority, rules and order-time, karma, and wisdom. Rather than wearing black at a crossing ( funeral), witches often wear white as a symbol that the friend or family member has gone to a place of purity and will be met by emissaries of spirit. Often, the entire ceremony will pivot on the use of only white-candles, altar, cloth, clothing, stationary and so on.
Magick done with black and white patterns promotes balance within ourselves and in the world around us. Black also stands for the night, and white brings our focus to the moon and the light she reflects to us- we find strength in her power to overcome the darkness of human emotion or difficulties we are experiencing.
If you are trying to make new friends wear pink. If your parents are going through a divorce, decorate your room in orange and indigo. If you have a friend who stammers, give them something yellow and blue. Headache? Green and violet. Is your sibling having a problem with wetting the bed? Give him or her a pink stuffed animal or blanket to hold and love. Empower the animal with lots and lots of love. Do magick with indigo to help a friend with a drug problem. Anorexia and bulimia? Rich orange and deep gold for anorexia, and yellow and violet for bulimia, or drug abuse, but the colours are tools to help the person on their way to a happy, healthy lifestyle.
There are thousands of uses for colours in nmagick this is just a few examples to give you an idea.
