Blue Blue is the color of the daytime sky. It is a calm and peaceful color and is used for healing.

Brown Brown is the color of our earth. In magick, brown is used for healing animals and for keeping our homes safe and happy.

Some people use their hands to heal. This is called "laying on of hands."

Green Green is the color of living plants. It is the color of abundance and fertility. In magick, green is often used for money spells.

While the dollar sign is commonly used in the United States for money spells, the three point crown is a far more ancient symbol for prosperity.

Every color has a meaning. And every person understands these colors in their own way.

In ancient Egypt the people believed that the color black was the color of new life. Europeans believed that black was the color of death. Today, many Witches and Pagans believe that the color black symbolizes an ending and the chance for a new beginning.

What do colors mean to you? Think about each color and write one word that describes the color you are thinking about.
