As you will notice some subjects are mentioned under several colors. Making your
goal specific will help to choose the right color. For example: you wish to do a
ritual for love. If your goal is passionated and sexual love: choose red; if your
goal is soft love, like mother-child love, or friendship: take pink; if you
strive for unconditional love: take white. This scheme is based on traditional
color use, but it is not written in stone. Your intuition is still the best
source in picking colors.

Magickal Use of Colors

*Select appropriate colors for the altar setting of a ritual. An altar cloth in a certain
color, colored paper as background, gemstones in suitable colors, flowers in a specific
color, a vase and candlesticks in a certain color/material, the colors of
your clothes, etc…Use your creativity and start focusing on yourmagickal desire
while preparing your ritual.

*Burn colored candles. (also see Candle magick).

*Draw your sigils, talismans and symbols in specific colors.

*Write down your prayers, affirmations, invocations with color pencils.

*Visualize colored light. First visualize white light in and around you, purifying,
protecting you and your sacred space. Next imagine yourself being filled up with
the desired color (or colors, one by one), entering you through your crown chakra.
Then breathe or direct this colored energy into your visualized magickal goal.
Repeat this until it feels sufficient. Finish with again bringing white light
in and around you.

*Another way of using colored light: start the ritual with visualizing white light first,
followed by light in the color you need; perform your ritual, and when it's time
to send the energy into your goal: send it into a beam of colored light.

*When working for someone it can be very helpful to have a picture, or piece of paper
with their full address, in a colored envelope or colored bag or so. During the ritual
you take the photograph - or address - out of the envelope and hold it between
your hands, meanwhile visualizing the colored light entering the person. After the
ritual put the photograph back in the envelope and leave it on your altar, allowing
it to absorb more colored energy. (Do the ritual on 3 successive days and leave
the envelope there for another 7 days, or 21 days in serious cases.)

*Colors have healing qualities

*Last but not least: you can influence the atmosphere in your surroundings by
conscious color use.
