Color is such a fun way to add more intention to your spells
You can add color magick to the bowl you use, the candle you choose, the type of herb, the clothes you wear, and more
Every color has its own energy and that energy attracts things that are similar
It may feel convenient that colors that are commonly used to represent something are actually connected to that intention
But those ideas were created by the feelings and energies that we get when interacting with that color
Color is used in spells in a few different ways. You can use color for containers, candles, ingredients, what you wear, and by itself. Colors have the ability to not only make you feel something but also to increase that energy in your life
While not every witch does color magick, most of us incorporate it in some way
Even non-witches regularly use color magick
Businesses use it in their branding
Women wear red lipstick to feel more attractive and powerful
Offices are painted and homes are decorated according to the symbolism of color
And that color symbolism is connected to color magick
Why are colors powerful?
Color is what our eyes see when light reflects off an object, is broken, and enters our eye
That means color has intense energy
They pretty much are energy
Color is also really versatile
There are so many options for using color in life
If you are not color blind, there are options connected to everything
You can choose clothes that match the intention for the day
Or add makeup colors that enhance that energy
Choose a paint color and decorations that match what you want in your home
Or choose colors to add to your art that matches the feeling that you want the viewer to have
Color magick is powerful because the possibilities are endless
What do the colors symbolize?
Each color represents something different, and the shades give you more information
The lighter the color, the calmer the energy
Red is the color of passion, but pink is love
Pink is just a lighter version of red
And love is a calmer energy than passion
So think about that when choosing your colors
Do you want intense energy or relaxed energy?
The shade controls that
Red:
Red is the color of passion
It symbolizes love, but also symbolizes anger
Red is an intense energy that needs a careful hand
The intention is important here because red can be both something positive and something negative
So set the intention well when using red
Blue:
Blue represents calmness and responsibility
But it is also connected to sadness
It is a little easier not to get the positive and negative energies mixed up here but setting the intention is still important
Calm is nice, and sadness is important but we don’t want a lot of it
Green:
Green is connected to new beginnings and abundance
Green doesn’t really have a negative energy unless you really try
It is also connected to nature and growth
Abundance is often money but it can be abundance in anything that you choose
Just make sure to set your intention and be clear about what the goal is
Orange:
Orange is connected to energy, vitality, cheer, excitement, adventure, warmth, and good health
It can be overwhelming in large amounts though
Too much orange suggests a lack of intellect and bad taste
We think of the sun as yellow when coloring it, but it is closer to orange
We can add sun energy and life to our life through the use of orange
Yellow:
Yellow is similar to orange and is connected to happiness and positive feelings
But it is less intense
Yellow is used a lot for hope, curiosity, and improved learning as well
Just like orange, yellow is connected to sun energy
This brings warmth, sunshine, and positivity
Purple:
Purple is a fun color
It is made by mixing passionate red and the calm blue
It represents nobility and spirituality
Purple is also used for luxury, power, and ambition
I love using purple in my makeup because I feel different
I feel stronger
Black:
Black is more complex in witchcraft
In things like auras, black is very bad
But it is used a lot for protection spells
Black represents evil, death, and mourning
But it can also mean mystery, bleakness, depression, fear, and rebellion
Black is the absence of color
The absence of everything that other colors represent
Gray:
Gray also has two meanings
With auras, gray is blocked energy that is heading toward black
But in general, it means neutrality and balance
Using both the good and the bad
Evil and the righteous
Black and the white
It can carry negative energy and represent depression and loneliness
White:
White is a pure color
It symbolizes purity, innocence, cleanliness, blankness, simplicity, and minimalism
But it can also have coldness and emptiness
White is used to symbolizing virginity in marriage
White isn’t a dangerous color and can consistently feel safe
Brown:
Brown is a neutral color and is connected to nature
Without brown, nothing grows
It has feelings of warmth, security, and earthiness
Brown is energetic and nurturing
There are so many things you can do with this color as well
You can add a little red for passion or blue for calmness
The possibilities are endless
Beige:
Beige is very similar to brown, but more simple
It is connected to comfort and neutrality
But also dull and conservative
Ivory:
Ivory is one of my favorites
It has all the connections that white has, but with the reminder that perfection is required
It also represents calmness, elegance, and purity
I prefer ivory over white because of the lower need for perfection
Sadly it is also connected to animal cruelty and human greed
So using this color needs a clear intention
Why is color helpful in spells?
Color is seeing energy
It is a beautiful way to add more to your spells
Or just add more magick to your life in general
You can add intention to anything with color
And if you pay attention to your life, that is pretty much everything
What are some ways to add color to your spells?
There are many simple ways of adding color magick
You can use colored candles to seal your spell jars or choose the tools
Use colored markers when writing runes or your intention
Color magick can be used alone with the colors you add to your home, clothes, makeup, and more
You are only restricted by your own creativity
