Lesson 3: Correspondences to Consider: Part 1 Colors
Correspondences
are very necessary in magick. Even those of us who have reached a point
of not needing the physical tools, herbs, and elements we must know
what they are so we can visualize everything when doing a “mental”
ritual rather than a physical one.
There
is soooo much knowledge out there and it can be extremely daunting for
anyone, especially anyone new to the Craft. When I started there was no
internet, and books were not something you requested at the library or
bookstore without feeling like someone flipped a switch behind the
counter and suddenly you had a neon flashing arrow pointing down at you
that said “ALERT! DEVIL WORSHIPPER!”. And when you’re new at anything
the last thing you want is to draw attention to yourself.
So,
my suggestion (honestly, I wish someone had shared this with me) is to
read all you can about the correspondences that apply to your own geographical area.
“Go native”. The indigenous correspondences (herbs & oils, in
particular) will be stronger than those bought online that come from
Bangkok, Thailand or some other distant place. Yeah those exotics are
awesome, but the energies aren’t from your area and my not work as well
as those that are from closer to home. Besides, you’ll be amazed at how
much you can find in your own yard or the nearest park.
As
you mature in the Craft your knowledge base will expand and your need
to “go global” will also increase. But, after a while your “global”
expansion may begin to feel too big and you may feel that you’re
spreading yourself too thin. At which point you will go back to native.
It’s a sort of grounding and centering. But at this point you will be
able to do what ever is needed regardless of location.
Everyone
has their preferred ingredients and supplies for their “Herbal
Cupboard”. Find yours, work with them, get to know them. And you don’t
have to spend a ton of money on them either. If you can’t or don’t want
to wildcraft your own herbs, many (actually most) of them can be found
in your spice rack, or easily picked up at the grocery store. Spending 3
x’s more for those found on the internet (plus shipping costs) really
doesn’t make a difference.
In
essence, every Witch is first a Kitchen Witch because they use many
mundane, as well as magickal, tools to put together the ingredients of a
ritual. A Witch infuses magick into their meals, their cleaning
supplies, everything in their house is permeated with magick. And,
unless you have an entire kitchenette apartment just for doing your
“Witchy” things, you probably do most of your gathering together of
supplies and ingredients for your spellwork on the kitchen table.
So
now let’s take a look at some of the correspondences used in magick.
And which are necessary for making amulets and talismans with the seals,
sigils, and bindrunes you’re going to learning to make and work with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Colors
Every
color transmits it’s own unique vibrations. When harnessed through the
combination of candle magick, crystal magick, herbs, oils, seals, sigils
or bindrunes, they will produce the desired effects of your intent. The
following is a list of colors that will assist you when formulating a
spell or crafting altar cloths, tarot bags, robes, etc. or any other
ritual item that needs to be a specific color.
Color Correspondences:
