Have you ever been GREEN with envy? Felt PURPLE passion? Been in the PINK? Had the BLUES? Color has played a role in our lives for centuries. On this page, I’ll be adding more and more about how color attributes are used in magick and voodoo. Please check back — this page grows over time!

Color magick is one of the easiest ways to “aim” a working. The color you choose can strengthen the intention, set the emotional tone, and help your mind hold the goal steady. A simple rule: choose the color that matches the RESULT you want (not necessarily the mood you’re in today).

RED — sexual love, passion, courage, strength, vitality, fast results.
PINK — sweet love, reconciliation, tenderness, friendship, self-love.
ORANGE — stimulation, opportunity, quick luck, encouragement, attraction, creativity.
YELLOW — joy, charm, persuasion, confidence, clarity, communication, learning.
GREEN — money, luck, fertility, growth, steady success, renewal.
BLUE — tranquility, devotion, understanding, healing peace, sincerity, truth.
PURPLE — influence, authority, psychic sight, spiritual mastery, dignified power.
INDIGO — deep intuition, inner discipline, transformation, breaking bad patterns.
WHITE — cleansing, blessing, protection, peace, “stand-in for any color.”
BLACK — reversal, banishing, uncrossing, firm boundaries, justice work, ending what must end.
GOLD — success, recognition, blessing, “crowned” outcomes, victory energy.
SILVER — moon magick, intuition, dreams, gentle protection, reflective wisdom.
BROWN — stability, home matters, grounding, legal/property concerns, practical results.

1) Choose your color based on your goal.
2) Write your intention plainly (one sentence is enough). Example: “My money comes steadily and safely.”
3) Dress your candle (optional): a little oil + a pinch of herbs that match the intention.
4) Light the candle and speak your intention out loud (three times is traditional).
5) Let it burn safely. If you must snuff it, don’t blow it out — cap it or use a spoon snuffer.

Some practitioners like to match candle colors to the vibration of a number — especially for birthdays, name numbers, house numbers, or “lucky day” work. It’s an easy way to add alignment if you like numerology.

1 = Red (initiative, leadership, bold beginnings)
2 = Orange (partnership, attraction, momentum, social luck)
3 = Yellow (joy, creativity, confidence, communication)
4 = Green (stability, work, building, grounded success)
5 = Blue (adaptability, change with peace, truth, balance)
6 = Indigo (responsibility, deep healing, home matters, inner strength)
7 = Violet (mysticism, intuition, spiritual wisdom)
8 = Rose/Pink (harmony, sweetness, attraction that feels kind)
9 = Gold (completion, recognition, blessing, crowned success)

Gemstones are like “battery packs” for a working — they hold a steady vibration and can be worn, carried, placed on an altar, or set beside a candle as it burns.

Agate (browns, banded): grounding, steady protection, calm strength, practical stability.

Amethyst (violet/purple): spiritual protection, calm, clearer dreams, easing anxious thoughts, prayer work.

Bloodstone (green with red): courage, endurance, “stand your ground,” protective stamina energy.

Coral (red/white): protective charm, warding off envy and the “evil eye,” travel safety energy.

Garnet (deep red): passion, devotion, magnetism, warmth, motivation, attraction work.

Jade (green): prosperity + peace, harmony in the home, gentle healing, steady improvement over time.

Lapis Lazuli (deep blue): wisdom, truth-speaking, spiritual authority, confident communication.

Peridot / Chrysolite (olive): cleansing envy, brightening mood, prosperity, fresh starts.

Ruby (deep red): power, life-force, courage, confident desire, strong attraction energy.

Topaz (yellow/brown/pink): clarity, confidence, success, peace of mind, steady good fortune.

Crystals can be used in a very simple way — you don’t have to “do it perfectly.” Here are a few staples that cover most needs:

Clear Quartz — amplifies any spell; pairs with any color. (If you own only one crystal, this is it.)
Rose Quartz — love, emotional healing, sweetness, reconciliation, self-love.
Citrine — prosperity, luck, success, confidence, “sunny money energy.”
Black Tourmaline — protection, grounding, banishing negativity, strong boundaries.
Amethyst — calm mind, spiritual protection, sleep and dream work.
Lapis Lazuli — truth, leadership, wise communication, being taken seriously.
