In Witchcraft, colours are often associated with specific energies and intentions. The use of colours is a form sympathetic magick which can also be known as symbolism/visualisation magick. This is when the colour/image of an item is believed to amplify the intention and energy behind a spell or ritual.
Some of the common colours are:
1. Red
Red is commonly associated with love, lust and passion in Witchcraft. Red candles are often used in love spells. You can use red candles to attract a (new) relationship or a lover, improve your current relationships (romantic and platonic) or even manifest a specific person (romantically).
2. Blue
Blue is commonly associated with healing and transformation in Witchcraft. Blue candles are often used in healing spells (that being said, we would strongly recommend seeking professional medical help as Witchcraft products and services SHOULD NOT be considered a replacement for medical assistance). You can use blue candles to heal yourself and others, change mindsets to make them more positive and improve/heal your connections (platonic, professional, familial and romantic).
3. Green
Green is commonly associated with wealth, abundance, money and riches in Witchcraft. Green candles are often used in wealth, asset and money related spells. You can use green candles to open pathways for money to flow in, attract money or even land a new job.

7. Black
Black is commonly associated with banishing and cursing in Witchcraft. Black candles are often used in rituals to ward off harm or dispel negativity. You can use black candles to do protective rituals for yourself and others, end situations, banish people from your life or curse someone. Do note that cursing spells have to be justified otherwise you may receive bad karma from the spell. To find out if your reasoning is justified, you will have to go through a tarot reading.
8. Silver

9. White

These associations can vary among different traditions and individual practitioners, and personal interpretations may differ. The use of colors in witchcraft is a tool for focusing intention and energy, and the specific meanings and uses of colors can be quite flexible.
