COLOR CORRESPONDENCES Contributed by MistRaven Colors are important not only for their associations with the quarters, but for various magickal uses. Colors can be an important aid to the successful working of magick, to divining physical disease, to the interpretation of dreams, to meditation, etc., but only if you are a visually oriented person. For others, especially the blind and the color-blind, color can be totally irrelevant. The general meanings (and magickal uses of) for the family groupings are as follows: YELLOW: Clairvoyance, Divination, Studying, Learning, The Mind ORANGE: Strength, Authority, Attraction, Luck RED: Sexual Love, Passion, Energy, Enthusiasm, Courage PINK: Emotional Love, Friendships BLUE: Healing, Meditation, Tranquility GREEN: Healing, Money, Prosperity, Luck, Fertility WHITE: Protection, Purity, Truth, Blessings, Silence, Realization BROWN: Physical Objects, Healing of Animals, House and Home BLACK: Absorption/Destruction of Negativity, Removal of Hexes, Hatred, Evil PURPLE: Power, Healing Deadly Diseases The color wheel really has no hard divisions between colors and in nature colors blend subtly from one "family" to another.
