I love color magick
It is one of my favorites because it is useful in so many ways!
You can use color magick as a kitchen witch, baneful witch, love and light witch, green witch, and pretty much every other path as well
The possibilities of color are truly endless!
I love using colored candles to seal my spell jars
Color magick is the use of the energy that color has to attract things that you want. This can be done by choosing colors to wear or decorate with, or it can be used in spells to seal a jar or determine the right ingredients. Color affects energy and the world so much that most people can feel it
In my opinion, color magick is one of the best choices to learn as a beginner
That is because there are so many ways to practice even if you are not open about your practice yet
People aren’t going to question why you choose to wear green
Now they may question if you are mixing colors that don’t go together well
But it isn’t hard to keep your practice quiet with color magick
No matter what path you decide on as a witch, color is helpful
I am eclectic so I mix a variety of practices together to make my own
But I did start with green witchcraft and quickly moved to kitchen witchcraft
Whatever your path is, color is a great tool to know and understand
What is color magick?
Color magick is the use of color to work with energy and get a desired result
There is a lot of science behind color because it is helpful for businesses to get more sales
Color can manipulate situations and encourages things greatly
Everything about McDonald’s branding is about happiness
Names, shapes, and colors
We can use color in many areas of our lives and it is so easy to get started
The first thing you need to know is what each color represents
To get a deep dive into that, check out my article on attracting positive energy with color
Keep in mind that shades make a difference too, but it is best to focus on one step at a time
You can continue learning about shades once the basic color energies are understood
What makes color magick powerful?
Everything is made of energy
But light is made of more intense energy than other things
Color is what we see after the light has bounced off an object and then entered our eye
That is why we have a hard time seeing color in the dark
The less light there is, the less is able to bounce off that object and enter our eye
That means that color is just our interpretation of the light that is entering our eye and color is pretty much pure energy
It is just missing some parts of the white light that makes it appear the color that we are seeing
White light is made of all the base colors put together
Those colors are red, yellow, and blue
All other colors are some combination of those 3, and light is the combination of all three in a perfect way
So when we use color magick, we are using an intense form of energy
And that is what a witch does
We work with energy to get a desired outcome
Color is a beautiful, simple, and powerful tool that we can use
How can you use color magick?
There are countless ways we can use color magick, but there are 3 categories:
- In spells
- Decision making
- Mundane
Each one has its uses, but they are all helpful
The large variety of choices is what reason I love it so much
The basics are easy to understand but the uses are so wide
In spells
The most obvious way that a witch can use color magick is in spells
I like to use colored candles to seal my spell jars
For example, I will use black wax to seal my protection jars
You can also use just the candles
Like adding green candles to a money bowl
Just remember that color is a container, just like everything else in magick, and will need your intention to work to full capacity
Decision making
Color can also help you make decisions during your craft
If you are deciding what ingredients to use or how to use them, color can help
If you had two herbs that both help with prosperity, choose the green one
Color can also help the spell look nicer
It is our nature to think something is more effective if it looks nice
And our belief is required for a spell to work
So something as simple as “does it look nice” can make a different
Especially for a new witch that is still a little unsure
Mundane
The last way you can use color magick is through mundane uses
Be intentional with the clothes you wear or the makeup you put on
Have a variety of accessories that are different colors so you can add intention to your day
I have a veil that I made with blue and purple yarn that I keep available to me
Blue helps me stay calm and relaxed while purple increases wisdom and better judgment
Both are very needed when I am exhausted from being with my twins
I love them dearly but I also get tired and frazzled sometimes
I use color to help me throughout my day so I can be the version of me that I want to be
What are some ways a beginner can use color magick?
The great thing about color magick is that using it as a beginner is pretty simple
You can add color magick to many areas of your life
You can add color magick to clothing that you are knitting or crocheting
I gave an example of that above with the veil that I made
You can add color to the outfits you choose to wear
Wear a pink color if you are needing some extra self-love or wear yellow if you want more happiness for the day
You can also use the colors in your makeup
I do this often and it is usually one of the main reasons I want to wear makeup that day
I like to add purple and brown to my eye makeup to give me more wisdom for my choices and reliability to make those right choices
But you can use colors like yellow if you want that happiness boost without wearing yellow
Just add a little to the corner of your eye and it will be super pretty as well!
As mentioned above, accessories can be added to use color magick
You can wear a green necklace to attract wealth or a black hat to feel a little more mysterious and protected
If you are creating a money bowl, use a green candle in the middle instead of white
White works because there is green inside, but green is the better choice
You can also have objects inside be green
If you are creating a spell jar, use a black candle to seat the top
Or the right color pen when writing your runes
Using a blue pen for shadow work can be helpful since blue is great for honesty
Pay attention to your life for a week and write down every time you had control over the color of something
You will find that color is a huge part of your life and that the opportunities for color magick is infinite
Al you need to do it make yourself aware and get creative
