Magickgal's Guide to Color Magick
“Mere color can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” - Oscar Wilde
By Kirsten Renee
“Mere color can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” - Oscar Wilde
If you’re looking to spice up your magick life, try using color as a tool of manifesting and casting! Color magick (IMO) is a vital part of conjure/ witchcraft. Using colors whether it be in the form of candle magick or fashion/beauty magick, can really kick your witch shit up a couple of levels. As I’ve been studying conjure over the years, I’ve come to have a beautiful relationship with color magick. I mainly practice it when performing candle magick or when I’m feeling the need to boost up my energetic space and body. For example, when making rose water for the apothecary I like to use RED roses when creating a batch rooted in self-love and romance. Color is POWERFUL and when used correctly, it works with the universe to bring in (or get rid of) whatever it is that you need!
Check out this quick list of Colors and their properties;
Red |
Element: Fire
Astrological Correspondents: Aries, Scorpio, Mars, and influences Saturn
Chakra: Root (Also rules; Bones, Teeth, Nails, Colon, Prostate and of course, BLOOD!)
How to work with Red
Need a little motivation or want to spice up your sex life? Working with a red candle can help you there!
Been feeling low in energy? Wearing all red (although be careful of that depending on where you live!) can help boost your mood from sad gal to hot gal.
Using flower essence like Roses to bring a sense of love, healing, and beauty! Keeping roses on your bedside table, altar, or even turning them into rose water can really boost your inner God/dess energy.
Orange |
Element: Fire
Astrological Correspondents: Sun, Leo & Sagittarius
Chakra: Sacral (Also rules; Pelvis, Kidneys, Uterus, Bladder, Lymph, Sperm, Adrenalin, & Digestion)
How to work with Orange
If you’re feeling a little blue, put a little orange essential oil in the diffuser, add a glass of orange juice or a few slices in your meal.
Wanting that new job, light an orange candle for road opening work! Add some cinnamon for sweetness and your favorite hot pepper to speed up the process.
Wearing the color orange can also help raise your vibrations if you’re experiencing mental fogginess! Orange is great to wear on a day you’re having a creative block in your path.
Yellow |
Element: Air
Astrological Correspondents: Mercury, Taurus and Libra
Chakra: Solar Plexus ( Also rules: Lower Back, Spine, Gallbladder, Pancreas, Liver, Spleen, & Digestion)
How to work with Yellow
When doing any form of healing work, lighting yellow candles on your altar space will open up space for your angels to come in and do work.
If your workspace is looking a little dull and lacking that usual “go-getter” shine, add some yellow flowers and decor to your area! Help yourself not procrastinate, by making your working space more inviting.
Having a hard time thinking positive thoughts, wearing yellow head-wraps, jewelry or nail polish to activate your inner shine.
Green |
Element: Earth
Astrological Correspondence: Venus, Mercury, Aquarius & Cancer
Chakra: Heart (Also rules: Upper Back, Spine, Shoulders, Breasts, & Lungs)
How To Work With Green
If you’re doing any form of money magick (candle, gris-gris, etc) using the color Green is KEY to making shit pop. Green not only is the color most associated with money, but it also represents prosperity in spirituality.
Starting a new job or going in for an interview? Wear a splash (or all) green to boost your “I’m that bitch” energy.
Do a little Earth magick and get some plants! Not only are plants fantastic Lil beans, but they can spruce up the air quality in your home, produce nutrients for you AND just be an overall great addition to your life. * If you don’t have a green thumb, plastic succulents are always a good time!*
Blue |
Element: Water (Obviously)
Astrological Correspondents: Jupiter, Moon, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces
Chakra: Throat (Also rules: Neck, Thyroid, Ears & Mind)
How To Work With Blue
When wanting to deepen your meditation, light a blue candle(s) to really open up your connection.
Crystals like Lapis Lazuli are great to use when your throat chakra is being blocked when you need extra help saying something important, or just a boost of confidence when speaking in public.
Wearing blue clothing can help activate peace or release tension when feeling anxious or overwhelmed.
Indigo |
Element: N/A
Astrological Correspondence: Mercury, Saturn, Capricorn, Jupiter, Gemini, and Sagittarius
Chakra: Brow (Also rules: Face, Nervous System, Bones, Eyes, and Emotions)
How To Work With Indigo
Feeling heart-broken? Wearing purple or lighting a purple candle can help carry you through that feeling.
Want to work your “That’s So Raven” powers? Use purple crystals like amethyst to boost your own psychic skills!
Using purple lighting is a great way to deepen a meditation as well.

Astrological Correspondence: Moon and Pisces
Chakra: Crown ( Also rules: Brain, Penal Gland & Sperm)

Having a wild time getting out of a dark place, light a white candle and ask The Divine to lift you out of that space. You can also call on Archangel Michael for protection and guidance.
Hot tip! Wear all white after taking a spiritual bath for peace and welcoming in your new energy with love and light.
Organizing your area with white accents, decore, etc can help stabilize the energy of your home, workspace, etc! Let the light in!
Alright pals, hope y’all enjoy this quick list of hot color tips!
Blessings!
The Power of Written Words + Manifesting Your Best Life
A few tips from our resident witch on how to make manifesting your new bff!
By Kirsten Renee
You know the saying “hushed mouths won’t get fed.”? Essentially it means, that person is not a mind reader and if you want something from them all you need to do is ask. The Universe works in the same way, if you want your prayers to be heard, you’ve got to be confident in saying them! You can’t just assume that God/dess, spirit guides, ancestors and angels know what it is that you want. You’re a part of your spiritual team and it’s best you show up as a teammate! Being afraid to claim what you instinctively know is yours is what will keep it out of your reach. That and not putting any physical work into manifesting your goals will stifle your aspirations. You are more than capable of making a conscious choice as to how you want to maneuver your life.
There is power in the written word and a direct link to what it is that you feel and need. Keeping journals, planners, grimore’s etc. are a few ways that people manifest their magick. When you keep record of what your desires are, it is easier for you to prioritize them! When something is consistently being repeated (especially prayers/spells). You are showing the universe that you are serious about your life choices and confident in what you feel. Your wording is most important, especially when doing intentional manifesting! Saying phrases like “ I can’t wait” or “I am ready to” give off a signal that you don’t understand the first rule of the practice! The key to manifesting is living in what you want presently. Viewing your desires from the future or past tense makes them unattainable.
Use phrases such as “I am ______ now” or “ I am receiving of this blessing in the present day”. Using words that are connected to the ‘now’ are KEY! Claiming your desires (all those that are with good intention!) as yours, is showing that you feel that you are deserving of this. Now, I’m in no way saying that what you want will pop up overnight! You’ve got to stay consistent with this practice. Magick is something that has a current, it is alive and well. So if you want to work yours, build a relationship with it! The perfect place to start is by doing one of the exercises I included below!
Ways to Fire Up Your Manifesting Magick
Create + Consecrate an Intention Journal
Binding a notebook/journal to yourself is something that you can do! I use this method and I do a ritual each time I use a new journal. Before doing this (or any type of magick) make sure that you protect your space! Cast a circle, remove distractions, pray over your space, etc! Make your spell work area protected by spirit and connected to you!
Pray over it! Ask your spirit team to step forward and join you in the blessing of this manifesting tool. Use this time to verbalize your intentions of that specific journal, be mindful of what comes up subconsciously as well! Journals are a physical representation of our emotions, no matter what they are!
Anoint it with blessed oils/spray, sacred smoke, or a Sigil! I always wipe the covers of my journals with rose water! I’ll also pass it through the smoke of herb blends!
Write a letter/prayer note to yourself on the first few pages! Speak to yourself as your therapist, friend and spirit guide! Use this time to really call out your desires directly and don’t hold back! This is how you finalize what it is that you want!
Make time for your journal! Intentionally using a journal is a daily practice that you find a flow within! Whether you do it first thing in the morning, on your lunch break or before bed! Get your manifesting time in because every day is a new miracle!
Using Numerology (and Technology) For Pop Up Reminders
Everyone knows to make a wish at 11:11 because it’ll bring you luck, it sounds crazy but it’s true! 11:11 and other mirroring numbers are often referred to as angel numbers! Personally my angels use these numbers to communicate with me. Each part of your spiritual team uses different forms of communication! The knowledge of numbers and their frequencies can always be of assistance when manifesting!
Set an alarm with a mantra as the title! Using something like “love flows to me with ease, love flows from me with ease.” or even “as above, so below” are great starters! You can create your own mantras as well, something that resonates with your spirit. Using times like 3:33 or even 12:12 can be used to amplify the energy of your mantra!
Using apps like Tiny Spark, Golden Thread Tarot and The Pattern can give you a deeper dive into yourself! I often look at my craft apps first thing in the morning! It’s like my newspaper, I read my horoscope, pull two digital tarot cards, and read my devotionals!
Naturally noticing angel numbers appear in your everyday life! Angels love to communicate and when you create a steady relationship with them, you open up new portals. By inviting them into your space, you are allowing your frequencies to link up.
Using Reflective Magick
One of my favorite ways to manifest, is by casting mirror (reflective) spells! Writing on mirrors of all sizes can directly link you to your deepest self. You want to root yourself into your wants, so look yourself in the eye and get to it! Reflective magick can be something as simple as writing a word of confidence on your compact mirror. It could also look like spraying every mirror you own with rose water and casting the intent of honesty onto it.
Make enchanted/anointed water! I often like to charge my first cup of water for the day with crystals! Leaving it out overnight or letting it sit in the sunlight a bit before consuming, crystal infused water can help magnify your daily frequency!
An enchantment ritual is another great way to receive and tune into the good vibes! I do enchantment rituals often! All you’ll need is a quiet/centered space, a mirror (that has been consecrated/blessed), and an item(s) that you want to bounce back onto.
Instructions
— Uplift the energy of the room (pray, dance, sing, meditate,etc) and cast your circle/pray for protection.
— Call down your spirit team and ask them for assistance in enchanting this item. You can choose anything, preferably something that you interact with every day! Like Jewelry, glasses, lipstick/chap stick, hand/ bags, your wallet, etc.
— Spray your mirror with blessed oil/water. I like to use a rose/Florida water mixture, to amplify the love of my spell and to purify the item.
— You can write down a prayer/spell/word.etc onto the mirror or you can skip this step! Whatever you feel most comfortable doing!
— Place your object on the mirror, say your blessings and intentions onto it! Be specific with what you bestow upon it, this energy will be strong and you will carry it with you daily!
— You can leave this out in the sun/moon for three days! I like to do it during a full moon cycle. The brightness of the sun and moon amplify the energy of the object!
Draw a sigil somewhere on your body! I can’t be the only one who wrote on her legs and clothes in middle school! Sigils are a great way to keep your mantras with you throughout the day. You can draw/ stitch siglis onto your jacket, keep a drawing inside of your wallet, or just draw it somewhere on your body!
Remember, manifesting isn’t hard nor is it just for the witches on the block. Anyone can practice and make manifesting a part of their daily lives! Like Grandma Agatha (RIP) said in ‘HalloweenTown’ “You’ve got to want something and then let yourself have it!” Don’t be afraid to get oddly specific with your desires, now isn’t the time to play shy with The Universe. Share this post with a friend and invite them to find their own journey with manifesting too! Pour love into yourself and your communities!
Blessed be.
