Colour Correspondences

Written and Compiled by George Knowles

Colour plays a powerful role in ritual Witchcraft and Magick.  Colours are carefully considered and assigned to all aspects of Spell making, Ritual magick and Festivals.

Colours have symbolic associations representing occult powers, and have their own energy frequencies that emanate specific influences.  Careful consideration needs to be given to colour correspondences when used with Candles, Clothing, Symbols, Deities influences, Planetary influences, Zodiacal influences and Magickal Days.  The use of colour is also important to our meditation and visualisation techniques.

Below is a list of colours and their associations.  For further associations and correspondences see:
