Using Color For Spells, Prayer, & Blessings

Ranked #9,547 in Culture & Society, #192,661 overall

Affects & Energies of Color

Color is a living energy and our conscious mind perceives only a fraction of it. However, not much gets past our subconscious. Color has a vast amount of influence upon our thoughts, health, mood and actions. There are reasons stores and restaurants are decorated in certain color styles due to the goal. Stores want you to buy (also why many have certain types of music playing since music also has a great influence on us) and restaurants want you to be relaxed and hungry. Using proper color is an advantage for success for spells, prayer, blessings, or any other type of magic. Also, depending on the task, using scent, planetary aspects and certain days of the week is important. I focus mostly on attributing color for your work but I also provide recommended planetary information and preferred days of the week when appropriate. Anyone can pray or perform blessings using familiars (i.e. statues, other focals, candles, incense, etc.) but if you don't have certain items available, you can always simply use a white candle or just your best intent. You will also find great, inexpensive ritual items for sale such as colored candle holders (perfect for when you don't have the appropriate color available) sage smudges, music downloads and more.
The mind is more powerful than even the top scientists can explain. The power of prayer is extraordinary and utilizing other tools can only benefit your aspirations and wishes. Just remember the sayings, "be careful what you wish for" and "don't ask for more than you truly need." Greed will get you nowhere.

A Word of Caution for the Inexperienced

Whenever I write or offer information regarding witchcraft, magick and especially communicating with the dead, I feel morally obligated to mention a few words of caution. If you are ever doing any type of magick, (excluding prayer or blessings, of course) and are not a witch, shaman, or have only little or no experience, please use extreme caution. It may sound a bit exaggerated or extreme but ask any witch how important the warning is. Personally, I have received calls and emails from people who attempted to use the Necronomicon and other methods of magick only to regret it deeply and/or it went completely wrong.
Photobucket
There is much involved with using magick and simply reading a book or two on the subject is certainly not sufficient. There is a reason witches, even natural witches, are trained, educated, experienced and have to earn the respect of the Elders. There is also no over-the-counter spell book authored by a witch that will tell you everything. It may provide the words, chants, tools and other information for a conducting a spell but it will never give out the entirety of the process. We are sworn to secrecy after initiation and acceptance into the Craft. With that knowledge, it may make it more clear to anyone inexperienced as to why I emphasize caution.

WHITE

The color white is a pastel combination of all colors because it reflects light with little to no absorption. As I briefly mentioned above, when in doubt, use white. It is the most highly balanced form of spiritual energy as possible. White is the symbol of the life giving Mother, all female mysteries and the Creative Source. It is light from which all life begins from, the female aspect of God, the Craft of the wise, and the full moon.
Other uses for white can be for pets, to build purity, balance the aura, to contact a spirit guide or other aids, to raise vibrations, to heal emotions, births, to create illusions, confuse enemies, to repel destructive or unwanted energies and anything that seems untouchable or unreachable.
White candles are frequently used as a focus point for any and all rituals. Often times, if the appropriate color or colors are not on hand, white is perfectly appropriate and useful.

BLUE

www.bigoo.wswww.bigoo.wswww.bigoo.wswww.bigoo.wswww.bigoo.wswww.bigoo.wswww.bigoo.ws


Blue converts hate, violence and anger. It is a soothing and cooling color providing peace, harmony, bliss, satisfaction, oneness, calmness and understanding of the spiritual realms. It is predominantly a feminine energy and depending on the hue, it is ruled by either Venus, Saturn or the Moon. Some consider the royal blues to belong to the male energies or Jupiter but it is best to decide for yourself by which works best for you.
Uses for blue: First contact with the Higher Self, spiritual well being, wisdom, truth and light, loyalty and dedication. Religious beliefs in a pure and healthy state, peace from within and inner calmness.

Associations:
Planet: Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn
Day: Monday, Friday, Saturday, Thursday
Energy: Female (Male when used with Jupiter on a Thursday)

A Perfectly Worded Quote About Witches

"We are not evil. We don't harm or seduce people. We are not dangerous. We are ordinary people like you. We have families, jobs, hopes, and dreams. We are not a cult. This religion is not a joke. We are not what you think we are from looking at T.V. We are real. We laugh, we cry. We are serious. We have a sense of humor. You don't have to be afraid of us. We don't want to convert you. And please don't try to convert us. Just give us the same right we give you--to live in peace. We are much more similar to you than you think."
~Margot Adler

ORANGE

Orange is a combination of yellow/Mercury/mental agility and red/Mars/action energy. You can take advantage of both with orange. You have the actions of red and the knowledge to know how to use the action from the yellow. The powerful nature of red is tapered with the healing wisdom rays of yellow; both which nurture the whole system.
Sunday is the best day to use orange but depending on the intent, it can be used on Tuesday or Wednesday. Wednesday is best for mental action and Tuesday is best for work on a physical action. If both actions are needed, use on Sunday.
Photobucket
Uses for orange: Attracting success, good fortune or luck, prosperity, building energy, and attracting others in a positive way. It also encourages fun and repels laziness. It works well to enhance mental agility and the ability to take physical action toward a desired goal. It is energizing to the entire system and promotes a happy-go-lucky energy.
Associations for orange: Planet: Sun, Mars, Mercury
Day: Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday

GREEN

One would automatically think green for money but that's not necessarily the case for using green. Money sought with green often fades fast or may only trickle in a little at a time. In other words, it is short-lived and may bring you only a fraction of what you really need. When using color for money work, see the gold or brown sections below.
Green stimulates growth such as for your garden and plant life. It is an earth color and is best used on Friday for emotional healing. Use on Wednesday for healing and healing knowledge. Green attracts success and communication with plant life.

Associations:
Planet: Mercury, Venus
Day: Friday, Wednesday

PINK

Being the lighter shade of red, the energies of pink deal with a spiritual, emotional side of love rather than of a physical form. It represents genuine, heart-felt love that is unconditional. This love can be for pets, close friends or between family such as a parent and child or siblings.

It represents non-sexual love in a pure form. Pink raises vibrations, spiritual healing, banishes negative vibrations and hatred. It's energy also represents affection, the beginnings of a relationship and unselfish love.

Associations:
Planet: Venus
Day: Friday
Energy: Female

GOLD

Gold represents the male half of the Universal Life Force and sun energy. The action with gold is usually best for healing, wealth, power or money. Since gold is related and a higher vibration of orange and yellow, it can be used on Sunday.
Gold is an indication of energy for quick action with intelligence and emphasizing monetary needs. If using gold for money and/or power, it is best to reinforce the spell repetitively until your goal is achieved. Repeat it every few days if possible. Gold is also a great choice for attracting gains and insight in the stock market. If you are already aware of money owed to you or coming to you, it can speed up the process of delivery.

Associations:
Planet: Sun
Day: Sunday
Energy: Male

YELLOW

Photobucket
Yellow holds the energies for mental clarity and accuracy. It represents a bright and sunny, positive nature. As with gold, it is attuned to the healing forces. It is the perfect color energy for studying, obtaining knowledge and gaining insight. It aids concentration and memory retention. If your spell intent is regarding attracting people or to compel someone to do something, yellow is a great source.

Associations:
Planet: Mercury
Day: Wednesday
Energy: Male

RED

Red is a passionate color that magnetizes and attracts but it should be used with good judgment to avoid ruinous results. It is recommended to use brighter shades of red. Darker shades are associated with wars, blood, hate, danger and battles.
It represents physical desire, base energy, anger, and pain. It is a stimulator and energizer. It can attract or grow courage, enemies and danger. Cherry red is best used for mental, emotional and physical love.
My personal opinion is never to perform a love spell. These can and do promote unwanted and unforeseen situations. I've known one person who successfully "got the guy" but he later became overly obsessive of her and finally began stalking her. Also, in your heart, would you really know if your mate loved you for you, naturally, or because of the spell? Just some food for thought.

Associations:
Planet: Mars
Day: Tuesday
Energy: Male

BROWN

Being related to the Moon and Saturn, brown is feminine in its nature and is an earth energy. It is best utilized for grounding and centering your conscious mind along with the earth. It can be used when material needs are desired but mainly when those needs are for survival purposes.
Photobucket

It can be helpful for obtaining money that is not associated with working with your hands (such as farming, construction, gardening, etc.) It allows one to communicate with their intelligence and be more attune with trees. It also works well for all healing purposes, mental, emotional or physical.

Associations:
Planet: Moon, Venus, Saturn
Day: Monday, Friday, Saturday
Energy: Female

GRAY

Gray is a neutral color energy and can be used to neutralize. For example, anything that no longer suits you or any destructive energies. Since gray is a combination of black and white, it absorbs and repels. Its vigor can draw in the unwanted energies and then send them out to the universe for diffusion in a benign manner. Gray is also ideal for canceling or erasing. If used for that purpose, the waning moon is suggested.

Associations:
Planet: Moon
Day: Monday
Energy: Male and Female

PURPLE

The energy of purple focuses on expansion in all forms. Anything you desperately desire, use purple. It can be for business, spirituality, health, money, love, etc. Jupiter is associated with purple, however, if you are using purple energy to attract your desired items, do not use Jupiter. Jupiter only expands and brings more of what you already possess. If you do not have the item you're trying to obtain, use the Sun, Sunday and orange.
I'll explain a bit more about how that works. Just like Jupiter, purple energy brings more of what you already have but in a larger manner. If you desire wisdom, knowledge of higher realms, spiritual protection and healing are appropriate examples of when to use purple. Be very careful about using it for money. Even though you already have some money, purple (and Jupiter) may not be the best source because it may make you poorer. This is a perfect illustration of why wording, using certain tools, color, planets, etc. is so essential. The poor can become poorer; the sick may get sicker.
Photobucket
I recommend using purple for spiritual protection, manifesting your highest potential, enhancing power, and most of all, psychic energy and abilities. It is also helpful for manipulating in business, law, courts, judges or anyone in a position of power over you. It is suggested for any work needing progression and things that you want to continually grow and build.

Planet: Jupiter
Day: Thursday
Energy: Male

BLACK is ESSENTIAL!

I saved my favorite for last. Black is a combination of all colors and absorbs light. However, black reflects only a little light back to the viewer. It is mistakenly seen as being of "no color" but it is actually the absence of color reflection, unlike white.
In the opinion of myself and of many others, black can be one of the most powerful and useful colors when properly used. It can be used to remove, repel or absorb anything. Often, it is used to end situations, to destroy a blocked negative circumstance and to remove unwanted energies or forces. It is also a great solver of mysteries. It is supreme for spiritual protection. In fact, I never perform any type of magick or ritual without a black candle.

Supplies and Decor

The colored candle holders work PERFECTLY when you have only white or limited colored candles. Stick any color into the specific colored holder your work calls for and there you have it! The color you need.
Also, be sure to ALWAYS have sage smudges on hand. Use for protection before ANY magickal workings or just to cleanse your space anytime. A must have!

Types of Magick for Certain Moon Phases

Very Important for Success!

Utilizing the Cycles of the Moon
Many are aware that the moon has a significant influence on humans, plants and animals. It is a fact that emergency rooms and police are busiest on the day and night of the full moon. My late mother, a teacher, was always noticing when it was a full moon due to the students' behavior (or misbehavior!)
It is probably the most important factor for anyone to perform certain acts, make certain decisions and especially doing magick when aligned with the proper moon phase.
Moon reflection

Waxing Moon:
This is the period from the New Moon to the full Moon. Use the waxing moon for expansion, growing, building, new projects, protection, and to raise vibrations for enhancement.

Waning Moon:
This is the phase from the Full Moon to the New Moon. This is the best time for lessening, such as decreasing disease or illness or destroying destructive energies. Use this period to rid negative or lower vibrations from your home or life. It is the proper phase to use with neutralizations for situations, memories or other negativities. Just remember

The New Moon:
Use the New Moon for new adventures or beginnings. It is the time for a fresh, new start. It can also be used for cleansing, whether it be ritual tools or an entire atmosphere. Best to start a new job on this day.

Full Moon:
The full moon is a good day to perform many types of more powerful-intended spells and rituals. Never have surgery on a full moon especially if it is in the moon phase of your birth. People tend to bleed more and have other complications on this day. There are actually many doctors that do not do surgery on a full moon.
