The Book of Shadows of a Broom Closet Dweller *EDITING*

Colour

Colour is a basic but very powerful ritual component to many witches. It is one of the easiest ways to incorporate certain energies into your magick.

Most witches believe that each colour is associated with specific meanings, and that incorporating specific colours into your spells will help to manifest your will according to that colour. For example, green is often associated with good luck, so a witch could use green in a good luck spell.

How to include colour in your witchcraft:
> altar cloths
> pens, crayons and pencils
> stones and crystals
> coloured candles
> clothing
> ribbons and thread
> painted objects
> accessories; hair ties, shoelaces
> coloured paper
> food dye
