Psychologists have only recently begun studying the effects that color has on people, but magicians and alchemists have known of the power of color for centuries.Using Color to Enhance MagicUsing specific colors when performing rituals is not necessary. Using colors that correspond to the purpose of the spell or ritual can, however, vastly enhance its power.
The easiest way to bring color magic into your ritual is to use candles. If you frequently perform rituals for a specific purpose, you may want to invest in candle holders, altar cloth, or other ritual supplies in the appropriate color(s). Many traditions favor ritual tools in black and white to avoid confused messages during rituals (among other reasons - see List of Color Magic Correspondences below).When discussing how to use a particular magical tool, you will often hear about its correspondences. A correspondence is simply what something is used for. You would say, for example 'White corresponds with purity' or 'Black corresponds with grounding'.
Most magical tools (colors, herbs, crystals, symbols, etc) have more that one correspondence, so it is still important to use your will and visualizations no matter how many extra tools you have.Also, correspondences (color magic correspondences in particular) are seldom absolute. When you choose your tools, make sure that the color matches the purpose in your mind. Green, for example, can symbolize both sickness and health. For healing, you would choose a healthy green. For repulsion spells (like a 'Get this negative person out of my life' spell), you would want a sickly green.Color Magic CorrespondencesWhiteWhite corresponds to spirituality, cleansing, purity, perfection, innocence, integrity, healing, freedom, opportunity, forgiveness, and acceptance. It is also a color of simple power. White carries the powers of all the colors.
