Can't get over these colours next to each other. There's something about yellow and purple together, especially in flowers, that makes me melt with pleasure!

Colour Magick

Colour magick is using the colour spectrum and the intention of each colour to invoke its magical response. You can place items of different colours around your home to help create different energies. Colour Theory, especially in marketing, shows us that using certain colours can affect: 

Moods 

Thoughts and Impressions 

Feelings 

Each colour on the spectrum has a certain vibrational frequency. By using Colour Magic in your Witchcraft, you can invoke and attract whatever vibration you need for your spell work. 

Candles & lighting 

Clothing & accessories 

Food 

Makeup 

Home decor 

Sigils 

Crystals 

Bath rituals

Colour Correspondences/ Hohufshi mehudih

in an effort to make my magical practice my own, I went back to absolute basics. Colour magic is one of the first things we usually learn as beginners to set the foundation for the rest of our practices.

But, as colour is extremely important in the symbolism of my religion, it felt weird using other peoples correspondences that have nothing to do with my spirits. I've started with the main 8 colours (next group will be PInk, Brown, Black,White). I drew two cards for nuance.

I encourage anyone who is feeling disconnected from their practice to try something like this: take a basic concept or tool and pull cards to determine what it means for you! Crystals and herbs I believe will be next.

Che- Willpower

Chekvem - Thought

Kvemkh - Self

Shad - Reality

Lugay - Purpose

Uqnum - Law

Nnum - Safety

Toh - Unity

Che/Chem

Two of Disks Change, intentional willful transformation, eternal change, not good nor bad just different, making the best of the choices given/ being disappointed n what you changed into, feeling led astray, hasty choices

R The Fool Bleeding fool, running out and being hurt over and over. Continue same choices despite seeing the same result, self destructive and hungry

Nuance: Red represents willpower. It is not good or bad it just does and the goal is the make the best of what happens. However, if you do not learn from your mistakes, you will be making the same mistakes and never satisfied.

Chekvem/Bal

The Hawkmoth Preparing for next step despite uncertainty, change from uncertainty to hope for a future.destiny is where you end up not all is predetermined,

6 of Cups Innocent joy, pure bliss and nostalgia, innocence does not equal youth or ignorance

Nuance: Orange represents thought. The ability to plan and hope for the future as well as learn from the past. Unwillingness to use your thoughts leads to ignorance.

Kvemkh/Euf

8 Pentacles Self Care, finding ambition and nurturing it, taking care of yourself, your needs first, confidence

Devil with Snakes for Dicks Comfort in your life, in your body, confidence that could turn to cruelty, elitism

Nuance: Yellow represents the self. In it's purest form it is self love and ambition, in it's dark form it is elitism and cruelty. You are only above others because you stomp them down.

Shad/Nis

Page of Curses(the cards from niseags deck pg194) Looking for misery and finding it, noticing when good things come around aka gratitude, sadness giving more weight than joy

Joker Wildcard and bridge between other cards

Nuance: Green represents reality and transitions. What you give your attention to will determine your perception. there is always a next step.

Lugay/Chel

The High Priestess p214 Learning cause and effect on a large scale, weird truths, self actualization, understanding large systems and your role in them, realizing you don’t want thing you chased all your life you want to be it/destroy it

Wound Man Reversed Hurt without intention or purpose, sometimes life is just surviving what happens to you, pain without catharsis

Nuance: Cyan represents the thriving versus surviving. on one side you know your role in the world and or you finally get the answer you were looking for. Sometimes you chase something your whole life only to learn you hated it. It's up to us to embrace the truth or suffer when we hide from it.

Uqnum/N’go Reverse Page of Curses (also niseag) Ill omen, a curse because you will always be looking for a curse, lack of follow through, low ambition

Reverse Justice Vengence, imbalance, scales imagery, failure of equivalent exchange, judgement

Nuance: Azure is justice and all the good and bad that comes with it. The wrongdoers are punished and the righteous succeed, or so it's supposed to be. Justice does not equal fairness.

Nnum/Teo

Reverse Lightning in a Bottle Leaving something when you outgrow it, things growing bigger than you can handle, lightning striking too close to home and leaping to safety

The High Priestess p214 Learning cause and effect on a large scale, weird truths, self actualization, understanding large systems and your role in them, realizing you don’t want thing you chased all your life you want to be it/destroy it

Nuance: Indigo is applying your higher knowledge to situations and knowing when to move on. Situations no longer serving you and leaving them behind. abandoning the sunk cost fallacy

Ih/Toh

3 of Pentacles Working together, everyone brings something important to the table, no contribution too small

Reverse The Allbright Absence of hope, a sign to step up and be the hope for others or yourself, for those who are faithful they are always there but if you lose faith or doubt they leave

Nuance: Violet is hope and acceptance. Recognition that no contribution is too small. being the hope for others and yourself. accepting blessings but scorning when they aren't happening

Set colour correspondences are great and all, but they'll change from culture to culture and on personal experiences

What do the colours mean to you?

Why do those colours mean those certain things? Is it based off culture, your family, personal experience, the world around you, is it your favourite colour so it brings you joy rather than the negative correspondence it has been assigned? Or is it just your intuition or what you feel is right?

You don't have to stick to the correspondences that are usually laid out in lists. You can create your own

Quick Witch Tip 5

Use friendship bracelets as an advanced form of knot magic. Each knot seals the intention into the bracelet and you can use colour magic in conjunction with this to really layer up your intentions
