Hoodoo Color Associations
Color Magic is a basic tenet for working spells. The properties of each
color determine how it impacts your mood, frame of mind, and the potency
of your spell casting. Be mindful of the color of the candle, gemstone,
and flower you choose; carefully pick the hues of your clothing,
furniture, and even the paint on the walls.
For example, if you are given to moodiness or anger, remove all RED from
your home décor. If you are predisposed to melancholia, a VIOLET scheme
may
depress you.
