In a pinch, you can write out your spell using paper, a pen, or a pencil in the colour you need.Īlthough green witches tend to be more literal in their representations of the elements on their altars, some colours may be used symbolize them as well, as indicated between brackets below. You could also choose to wear a piece of clothing or an accessory in the required colour. Or you could place a crystal or flowers whose magickal properties and colour both correspond with your intentions on your altar. Īnother way to add a colour to your spellwork is with an altar cloth.

However, if you don’t have a candle in a colour you need for your spellwork, a natural (untinted) beeswax candle or a white candle can replace all other candle colours due to its complete balance, allowing you to easily incorporate the colour in a different way.

Like magick itself, colours simply are and it’s how they are used that can be positive or negative.Ī candle is typically used to represent a colour during spellwork as it will not only have the colour’s magickal properties but it will also transfer and release your magickal intentions into the universe. It’s good to remember that there are no intrinsically “bad” colours. Each of these colours has its own unique magickal properties and spiritual meanings. Nature, in all her glory, has provided us with an abundance of colours in every shade imaginable.
