Ever notice that some colors make you feel a certain way? There’s a reason for that, you know. Colors have certain associations, whether we realize it or not. As such, many magickal traditions call upon those colors in their energy work. Think of it as stacking the deck. You know your intent. So why not bring in a color that reflects and enhances that intent?
Like all things, you will find differing opinions about the meanings and correlations of some colors. But generally speaking, the list below is a good place to start.
- White: purity and truth*
- Black: negativity and banishment
- Green: abundance, financial gain, fertility
- Brown: Earth-related or animal-related workings
- Pink: friendship, sweet love

* Many Pagan traditions believe that it’s acceptable to use a white candle in place of any other color.
