Colors play an important part in magic. And everyday living really. Have you ever found yourself emotionally energized or soothed for no reason? Take a look around yourself. For me I can't deal with the BRIGHT YELLOW of a SubWay restaurant....it does not make me want to eat. I find working on any project with blues in it can make me sleepy.....
So what does color have to do with magic and how can you use it?
Each color has a special vibrational frequency in energy that can help either in your everyday life or any magickal workings.
You can apply these meanings of colors to candles, clothing, jewelry, altar cloths, stone divinations and more.
