Color Magick

The Magick of Color. Or as we like to call it...beauty. Ever wonder why your favorite restaurant paints their walls a specific color? Or why certain colors are associated with different days of the year? Or even why specific colored candles are requested for in a Wiccan Ritual? The idea of color magick has been around for many centuries in many cultures although not always referred to as magick or magic. Color was vastly used for healing purposes such as treating illnesses or creating bandages. It was also used to indicate what part of society a person belonged to. In dealing with Wicca, colors are of great importance. We use colors to represent what Sabbat we might be celebrating or to promote certain feelings and results that are needed in our Wiccan Rituals. Color is also very important when dealing with Chakras and Auras and can help you determine what color you might need to wear today in order to pass that test or get that house you've been trying to buy. Whatever your goal in magick or everyday life may be, color is a very important and useful tool.

Following is a list of colors and their corresponding magickal properties along with colors associated with our Chakras. The first seven colors are the most basic and most widely used colors in ritual and Chakra and Aura reading. These colors were discovered by Sir Isaac Newton, in 1666, when a ray of light passed through a prism and divided into the seven colors of the spectrum. He associated them with the seven known (at the time) planetary energies. With this information you can determine what to wear for a day, what color candles you may want to use in your rituals or what part of your Aura or Chakra you may want to strengthen. Enjoy...
