Magick

Colour correspondences
|
Colour can play an important role in magick and spellcrafting as
it greatly affects our emotions and way of thinking. We can use
colour within magick in the candles we choose, the clothes we
wear, an altar cloth if you use one or even flowers used within
the spell itself. Below is a table of widely used colour
