Colors.

Color and its use in magick.

Often within magical working it is desirable to choose colors to match your working. For example when performing a healing, one might choose blue candles for the element of water (which has influence over matters of healing).

Interpretations of the properties of colors vary, but these are some pretty common ones.

The "major" colors (the 5 elements, black and white)

white: protection, peace, purity, truth, general purpose (all colors united)
purple: element of spirit
green: element of earth: healing, money, luck, fertility
yellow: element of air: divination, study, learning, the mind
red: element of fire: energy, courage, passion, change, sex
blue: element of water: healing, meditation, tranquility, emotional love
black: absorption of negativity, banishment
sky blue: alternate for element of air

other colors (focus on a part of some elements effects or blends of 'em)

brown: animal energies
pink: (partially fire, partially water) emotional love though less "deep running", and tinged with a bit of sensual romance. Flirty love.
orange: (partially fire, partially air) strength, authority, attraction, luck
Those are the most popular ones, for others just think about which colors of the 5 element ones were mixed. You often have an answer there.
