The Ultimate Guide to Correspondences

I’ve seen a lot of talk going around about correspondences and how they don’t have set rules. This is 100% correct.

Use your intuition. Think of amethyst and see what the first thing that comes to mind is. For me, amethyst is associated with relaxation and sleep because I use it in all of my rest spells. Many people use amethyst for protection or study help. Think of the color red. I associate red with music and dance and the arts because I wear red to every festival I attend. Other people associate red with lust, anger, and sometimes luck.

If you would like, you could jot down your own correspondences, but you don’t have to. You don’t have to have set rules on your own correspondences. Sometimes I use amethyst for study help. Sometimes I use red for passion spells or hexes. It’s flexible.

For herbs, you can do the same thing. I, personally, ask my herbs what they are best at. If I use an herb that specializes in success magic for a protection spell, I just ask it to protect instead of boost positive outcomes.

Keep in mind, my experience with correspondences is not universal and not mandatory. I follow a lot of ‘mainstream’ correspondences. You do not have to develop your own. Just know that it’s okay to use an item for a different purpose. It’s okay to have different views on basil than everyone else. It’s okay to have the same views.

This is your craft. Develop it however you want. Make it however you want. Participate in it however you want. Witchcraft, like many things, is a spectrum, not a scale.
