Colors can be used in Magick to increase or define the power of a spell, or to symbolize specific material things or concepts. Color can be brought into your workings in the form of a particular robe that you wear for certain types of magick, altar cloths, candles, flowers or inks; or you can use pure visualization to bring them into your consciousness before, during, or immediately following a rite, as appropriate.
One thing to keep in mind about the magickal attributions of color is that they, like so much in the study of the Craft, are very subjective.
If you are a newcomer to the Arts, don't let this type of apparent inconsistency be a great source of confusion. When you find something that seems to contradict what you have read before, keep reading! Often, the author will explain why she does things in her own certain way.
When studying the Arts, it will be the reasons why that you need most to consider. Successful magick is not woven by blind and rote repetition of dusty, old spells written by some famous Witch or Mystic from long ago but by carefully-considered actions that are based on your own subjective inner-symbolism and reason.
The attributions that you use in your magick, color, elemental, and others must ring true to you, first and foremost. Follow your instinct, and success will find you!
