To the God & Goddess
Colors
Color is a valuable tool when used to symbolize magical intent during spell-work, especially in candle magic. You can use color correspondences to help choose your candles, altar decorations and more when planning spells or acts of worship.
It's important to note that colors have deep symbolic meaning. Because of this color correspondences are very subjective, even more so than many other correspondences, it's more important in magical work that the symbols you are using. Colors have personal meaning for you, and it will effect what you do with them during spell-work and/or practice.
Additionally, colors can symbolize vastly different things in different cultures. For example, some cultures consider white the color of mourning, while others associate it with weddings, and there are many brides-to-be who wouldn’t dream of marrying in anything but red.
Clearly, it's important to look to your own cultural upbringing as well as your own experiences before taking correspondence table recommendations to heart, particularly with colors. If your gut tells you the color doesn’t make sense in your spell, you should not use it regardless of what any chart tells you.
No one is 100% right and only you know what's right for you.

The Elements
The Elements are a very important part of Wicca and Witchcraft. We invite them during rituals, we ask for their help in our magic, and we thank them for their contributions to our world. In order for us to work with them, we must learn to respect them. For they are the base of all living things on our planet, and should be treated as such.
